Republic vs Democracy.. One of my pet peeves are people who go around saying we have a "Democracy".  No, we do not. Democracy is  , by definition, MOB RULE. 51% rule the rest. It is lawless and prone to fickle emotional swings That's why when you hear anyone say that we live in a Democracy, especially a politician, you can be fairly sure they are working against the Constitutional Republic we live in. I don't remember pledging allegiance to a Democracy, do you?  Of course not. The Constitutional Republic we have uses a democratic process to elect our representatives, or vote on laws,but that's the end of it. One man/ woman can stand against everyone , but if the law of the Republic is with them, they prevail. A Republic is rule of law , order, and just checks and balances.  I know, it's not perfect and doesn't always work that way...now. Our schools teach treasonous lessons. Our judicial system is infected by self serving, English title holding traitors. Our minds distracted by superfluous amusements. All meant to take our attention away while the Socialist scum hammer away at the foundation while no one is paying attention. They almost got away with it. Please keep that in mind and correct anyone who makes this mistake. If they insist on it being a Democracy then crotch kick them and stomp their head. Just kidding...sorta :). Seriously it's a real need especially with the younger people. They need to know the difference and why is so important.
