“Democratic Government” is Un-American. America is a Republic, so “Republican Government” is American.
Karl Marx said that democracy is the first step towards communism.
The author seems to have a want for a history lesson. Americans have never trusted government, not sense even before the American Revolution.
Our founders and almost every generation since with a few notable exceptions were filled with distrust for the inevitable dysfunction, corruption, and disaster that is big Government.
Limited government is the best possible compromise between freedom and anarchy. Today’s government seems to have forgotten about freedom. Do we really want a government powerful enough to tell us how much water our toilets can flush, what kind of light bulbs we can use, and what unwanted coverages have to be in our medical insurance? Do we really want a government that spends $17T of our children’s and grandchildren’s money on fraud, waste, abuse, and corrupt bonuses for those with connections?
