“Has your democracy been lost yet? Has someone stolen it? Silly questions for a silly era asked of silly people who worship mob rule as long as they are on the majority side. They have no problem ignoring the will of those who disagree with them; they only wring their hands when they end up on the losing side. America was never supposed to be a democracy. It was set up as a republic, limited in scope by a constitution that defined exactly what government is allowed to do to the population, regardless of what the majority wants. This failed. Republics, including those defined and limited by a constitution, turn into democracies because people, in overwhelming numbers, want to violate the rights of others and vote themselves goodies paid for with taxes.” (03/05/25)
