Good post, I'm saving this one for future reference. I've been railing about the mischaracterization of our country as "democracy" for years. Democracy in its "purest" form tends to amount to mob rule.
Could that be the very point (mob rule) behind which the democrats work?
good point. unfortunately, history is not on our side. no "democracy" has lasted for more than 200 years. rome in its golden years (before the empire) and greece in her golden years (before alexander) lasted about 200 years until there was a power grab at the top by someone. in our country the power grab is, as you put it, mob rule, and this mob chose the name "democrat"
You took the words right of my mouth. I too have seen going on and I fear for this nation if it ever does turn into a true "democracy" instead of a "representative republic" as it was originally planned to be.
