For Your Consideration
The US is a republic not a democracy.
In other words = not everybody should be a democracy. We're IMPOSING democracy on Arabs who really don't want it.
Or rather we take to Republican Government. Democracy is and will always be a misnomer, whether or not the rest of the world follows that path.
I get the point of the editorial, however, we languished under King George until we decided to act. And then only approximately 30 percent of America at that time supported the war. So, I'd say that we revel in Republican Government. This is the reason we don't continue to thrive under Democratic leadership.
The wishes of the Foudning Fathers were to remain in that form of Republican government, a decided difference between a democracy. But like I said, "I get the point of the editorial."
All humans want freedom. It is very rare, however, when the chance for success and desire and opportunity line up together to make it a real possibility worth risking it all to acheive it.
I'm torn between two desires; to either teach a chicken to swim or learn how to french-fry facile sophists.
The major difference between the US Constitution and the Constitution of France, is that we mention God, and that certain rights are God given. The French have no mention of in alienable rights.
There are three words found NOWHERE in the U.S. Copnstitution..
1) democracy..
2) democratic.
3) democrat..
It was on purpose not an oversight.. A democracy is governed by MOB RULE.. like England, Canada, and other URPean countrys.. Democracy is the source of socialism...
Democracy is the road to socialism. Karl Marx
Democracy is indispensable to socialism. The goal of socialism is communism. V.I. Lenin
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism.- Karl Marx
The parliament system that other countries have is far inferior to America's, with our term limits and a directly elected president.
