Watch, listen, pass on. We are a Republic headed into a Democracy which will end in mob rule anarchy and then begging for order culminates in an Oligarchy.
Republic means Rule of Law. Either we are a Nation of Laws (Constitution) or we are doomed to become subjects and not free people in an Oligarchy.
Egad! Where have you been for the past 50 years?
The Republic completely disappeared during the 30's & 40's. The 16th & 17th saw to that.
We are serfs in the final stages of a social-democracy's unstoppable (by any civilized means) descent into abject tyranny.
The last, and greatest, danger to this Nation is posed by those who continue to think in terms of a world that no longer exists.
