The POINT of the Constitution, especially the Bill of Rights, was to have some powers NOT subject to simple majority rule.

Everyone needs to read Mark Levin’s new book, “The Democrat Party Hates America.” Talks about this kind of Demonicrat BS.

What do you expect from people whose bibles are “1984” and “Animal Farm”?

Harvard puts its beliefs into practice. It was found to be the worst school for free speech.

That’s the plan. Get rid of the Constitution and replace it with the lying Democrats “democracy”.

The constitution is a threat to despotism. Acosta in particular simply can not stand it that someone disagrees with him.

Yes, the Constitution puts “Mob Rule” at risk too.

“...you can’t spell ignorance without “C-N-N.”

That’s a great line.

Here’s just a bit about the esteemed professors.

An Op-Ed co-written last Friday by two American Jewish professors has stirred Internet controversy, with the focus largely on their use of four words: “We are lifelong Zionists.”

Professors Steven Levitsky and Glen Weyl began their Washington Post Op-Ed with those words...

and

Professor Daniel Ziblatt Named New Director of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies

Translate: we’re losing, so we must destroy everything to ‘save it’.

We’re also not a democracy, we’re a Constitutional Republic where 51% don’t get to be a mob that steamrolls the other 49%.

The moment I started to read I knew that the authors had to be deracinated Jews. Livitsky and Ziblatt are no different from the Soviet’s Zinoviev and Kamenev. They are of the tradition and history of Jewry, a people that feels impelled to change the status quo no matter where in the world they reside. Incredibly, they have now begun to infect Israel itself.

CNN just driving home the point that an intellectual is someone who's been educated beyond their intelligence.

This whole bit about being "outdated" is just viewing through the lens of Marxian "progressivism." If the Constitution seems like it's against democracy, it's because it is against democracy, and deliberately so - democracy is simply mob rule.

Democrat voters are a mob. Democrat politicians are the mob.

<>The Electoral College was the Founders’ method of ensuring that states with small populations would have an equal say in choosing the leader of the country.<>

Nonsense.

The purpose of the EC was to elect an endless succession of men equal in character, discernment, judgement and patriotism to George Washington.

In a way, they are right. The word “democracy” is not used a single time in the Constitution, because the founders knew a democracy was the worst of all forms of government.
