Our Freedoms, our claims to our part of the natural rights of man, as enumerated and declared in our Constitution, can only continue to be secured by our ongoing fidelity to that pact and the form of government that it established. I’m not interested in fighting for “democracy”; I prefer our Constitutional Representative Republic as the way to secure rights and liberties . Global adventurism, and the tremendous loss of life and treasure that accompany it, are not in our interest.

Spare me the lesson on what the constitution is, and what a democratic republic is. A constitutional representative republic, as what we have, also offers the type of democracy which is the envy of the world. But, whatever the terms to describe our form of government, it's a democracy which needs to be on-guard all the time and will forever need to be defended. Defense of democracy is not just within our borders. Learn the realities of the world in which we live in.
