That's all I feel like posting from this article from American Thinker. Someone need to let 'tom trinko' know we are NOT a democracy. As long as the left is able to frame it as such and posit that usage in folks minds, we ain't winning.

Do the demonicrats insist on calling this Republic a “democracy” to try to get support for their failed political party?

We are a constitutional republic with a representative democracy as our lawmakers. If you bother to read the article, he talks about how the left is usurping the democracy part.

The left despises the rule of law and is eliminating it. It started with Roe and continues with destruction of the First and Second Amendments.

The Internal Revenue Service is hand in hand with the DOJ and FBI to fight against conservatives.

Speaking of the IRS, check out the public art in front of the IRS headquarters in New Carrollton, Maryland. It’s bizarre:

Pyramids and striped pillars with hands on top?

Who’s that FReeper who posts about unusual phenomenon? Do you know?
