We must respect the ruling of our mighty oligarchs. We must never come under the illusion of ancient notions like "of the people, by the people, for the people."

Self-government. What a quaint notion. *sniff*

We must respect the ruling of our mighty oligarchs. We must never come under the illusion of ancient notions like "of the people, by the people, for the people."We are a nation governed by laws. But when the courts try to make law from the bench, then we are no longer a nation of laws. We are a nation of whims when judges usurp the duties of the legislature. Is that something along the lines of what you mean?
As for the phrase "of the people, by the people, and for the people", that was written and spoken by a big government Republican, Abraham Lincoln. Perhaps he took his first name too seriously and thought he was the father of a sacred race.
