Excerpt from:
Caricatures of Muhammad and Democracy!By Ali Sina
The Bush administration must be lauded for their commitment to bring democracy to the world. But in their enthusiasm, they seem to be putting the cart before the horse.
Muslims, have no tradition of democracy and no understanding of it. They confuse democracy with dictatorship of the majority. They exploit democracy to gain power. Once they come to power, they get rid of the democracy and establish Islamic theocracy. Once they come to power, they keep it. A good example of that is Iran , where its Islamic rulers came to power in a referendum and with that democratic vote, they ended the democracy.
Freedom of speech, freedom of beliefs, respect for the rights of the minority and separation of religion from government are the foundations of democracy. Without these you can’t have democracy and yet none of them exists in any Islamic country. Democracy must be built from bottom up, starting first with the foundation.
It means literally "the sting of 1000 mosquitoes in the armpit".
Just another elite liberal looking down his nose on the barbarians that cannot understand his lofty principles of sovereignty and democracy.
The same was said of those barbaric Japanese and their religion of hate, Shinto, after WWII.
Viola!.. the genius of the founders.. with a republic.. The republican and dumbocrat partys being in control of the process Mafiaizes the U.S. with a good guy bad guy scam.. A version of the "protection racket" except more convoluted with the illusion of democracy as a republic..
Proof: The current republican party could care LESS about massive known obvious in your face voter fraud by the democrat party.. Not just tacit apathy but gross negligence on persueing it.. And one wonders WHY the republican party is FOR, FOR I said, multi millions of known proto-type prospective democrats surgeing accross the Mexican border.. Ann Coulter is correct about the voting public, 20% are republican, 20% are democrats and 60% are MORONS.. And with 50% of the republicans being RINOs making 10% of the public real republicans then 90% of the voting public are MORONS..
We have the exact government we deserve.. The best government money can buy.. We are billed for it by the federal reserve.. Its not cheap.. That is IF you think currency is money.. its not..
I could not undersatnd your post. It was quite erratic. I'm not sure what I said that was bull in your opinion. They were all facts. Iraq and Afghanistan's new governments are republics. Republics are governmnets that elect representatives. In a democracy, every citizen would vote on every law. Examples of Democracy in American government occur when we citizens vote on ballot inititives like gay marriage.
If you believe that we are nearing Armageddon...the final battle spoken of in Revelations, then it doesn't matter what anyone did, it was going to happen anyway.
I'll give you one thing, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has 18 letters, or three groups of six.
There's an angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud voice,
"This is the supper of the mighty one",
The Lord of Lords,
King of Kings,
Has returned to lead his children home,
To take them to the new Jerusalem.
Just venting.. but then you don't seem to understand the extreme negativity of centralized government.. as Marxists and Psuedo-Marxists don't.. The difference between democracy and a democracy are minimal to most.. but is the point..
