"Did someone teach you that in a democracy you never lose elections?"

Did someone teach you that we are a 'democracy' and not a constitutional republic?

Of course the republic was lost when Obama was illegally installed in office, so you win.

The deliberations of the Constitutional Convention of 1787 were held in strict secrecy. Consequently, anxious citizens gathered outside Independence Hall when the proceedings ended in order to learn what had been produced behind closed doors. The answer was provided immediately. A Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."

Benjamin Franklin was right.

So when we lost elections twice to Obama we stopped being a constitutional republic in your mind. And now you’re giving up. You no longer love America. You love was conditionally based on only a constitutional conservative winning. Shame on you.
