I always recall the Clinton quote: “This is a war between freedom and democracy...”
Leftists tell us believing we’re overtaxed is un-American.
That’s rich coming from the same clowns who constantly bash the House of Representatives who are the elected officials most closely tied to the people.
Not “Democratic,” but rather “Democrat” government is un-American.
Reagan was right. America is a Republic. Not a Democracy.
The greatest deceit perpetrated on all of mankind has been that the Devil has convinced so many he does not exist.
I submit those that protest free-thinking individuals’ belief that government must be contained to remain free are disciples of that which ‘does not exist.’
Liberals can’t manage to run government transparently and competently.
But they have the chutzpah to accuse conservatives of making good government impossible.
The past election discredited the idea activist government works.
They still don’t get it.
Have A N Y of these morons ever read the fact we are a ‘REPUBLICAN’ form of govt? Or used to be?
They have bastardized the word ‘democracy’ to mean communist. Time to get back to founding principles folks.
Conservatives have always known that Democrats in politics are un-American.
If they love this country so much, why are they always preaching revolution, no matter who is in charge?
Another liberal kneeling before the altar of big government.
Fixed.
Furthermore, this is a representative republic, not a democracy, and furtherfurthermore, Republicans have conviced me that Republican government is also un-American.
"Inside every liberal is a totalitarian screaming to get out"
A communist, is a communist, is a communist. The Smart people.
In addition to the millions of members of the welfare state, millions of other people have a vested interest in making sure Americans don’t come to the realization that they have far too much government, and that it needs to be drastically scaled back.
These people work for the government.
It’s a two-headed hydra.
It is odd how every single political viewpoint has its own definition of “democracy”.
“Democracy” IS anti-American.
One of our greatest founders is said to have said that we have “A Republic, if you can keep it. “
A true democracy is merely mob rule. And when a political party looses control of the mob really bad things can happen. Read up on the Grecian city states(mainly Athens)or Rome during the period when it went from a republic to a dictatorship (Coleen McCollich has a nice 6 book series on Caesar that covers it quite well).
Yes, they are right, Conservatives do treat the government as a threat, because it is one. We are in good company in our assessment:
“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government — lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”
Patrick Henry
“The jaws of power are always open to devour, and her arm is always stretched out, if possible, to destroy the freedom of thinking, speaking, and writing.”
John Adams
“Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!”
Benjamin Franklin
