A constitutional republic is a mechanism for slowing down the corruptive process of democracy. Eventually, however, if the people are corrupt enough, long enough, they will overwhelm and slowly destroy even the most perfect of constitutions. That's where we are today.

Unfortunately, you are correct. There is really little difference between the Dems(Bolsheviks) and the Pubbies(Mensheviks). They both stand for big govt and socialism. The rate of the destruction of our Republic is the only difference.

The stressing of a government founded on the Judao-Christian principles was the intended antidote to this. That is another reason the Democrat/Communists fight any reference by government to religion.

Keep that up buddy and you're getting a backseat ride to the "re-education camp." :)

You got that right!

A couple months ago I listened to a lecture given by our city atty to a bunch of kids.

He told them that in our democracy, one person can change the law. He told them this with reference to the "one nation under God" debacle.

I got so pissed my face got red and I got weak in the knees. I wanted to correct his BS and could not.

The group that he was speaking to sucked it up like a vaccuum. He never reference the constitution or the fact that we have a republic and not a true democracy. He never said anything but total hogwash and leftist BS.
