And somehow a tyranny of the majority is better? You forget, this isn't supposed to be a democracy, it's a constitutional republic where indivisual rights are what matters not what >50% of the people say.
Like I've said before, the fed has no business making money at all, lets the banks handle it backed by gold.
I don't care if you do believe in God or not, it's none of my business. But I'm a citizen taxpayer too and all I'm saying is what I would like. I'm very strongly devoted to this country but it's like the government is trying sideline anyone who doesn't agree with the majority. I love America, I'd take a bullet for her but I'm not feeling the love back.
First Kramer refused to wear the AIDS ribbon and then he uses the "n" word.
Don't you see the pattern?
"And somehow a tyranny of the majority is better? "
Generally speaking, yes.
If more than 50% of citizens want something, it has merit to be examined. If 5% want something, does it over-ride the other 95%?
Sooner or later you have to make a decision on something. And constantly bending over backwards to pacify the minority at the cost of the majority seems absurd to me.
I know the arguements about the majority being wrong sometimes. Rights being trampled, etc. I think the majority is right the majority of the time. One of the beautiful things about America is if you don't agree with the majority, you're free to pack up and leave. Cash in your chips and go find a place that tries to make all things equal to everyone. (I can suggest some socialist paradises to anyone who finds that intriguing).
"..it's a constitutional republic where indivisual rights are what matters not what >50% of the people say."
United States Constitution:
Legislative Powers: Section 8. The Congress shall have power to .......
To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures;
Your individual rights don't trump the Legislative power to coin money; the elected officials by the MAJORITY do.
We believe , you don't. So now what ? Well , in these cases we usually go by what the majority wishs
Well said
