Democracy Sucks!
Did the title of this post get your attention? If so, that's good. Prepare to descover how "freedom" and "democracy" are two entirely different things. Another good reason to not support the Party of Bill Clinton? Perhaps, but that's not what really matters. Here's a quote from the homepage:
"Democracy". The word can be heard daily-repeated by government officials, the media, academia, and our patriotic neighbors. Popular wisdom seems to dictate that whatever may be good about America has something to do with "democracy"- right?
But if democracy is really what makes America great, why did the Founders establish the United States as a consitutional republic and not a "democracy"? (It's curious that "public" [i.e., government] education has all but phased out such facts from what's left of civics and government studies.)
...It is disturbingly instructive that, for the most part, American politicians, educators, and the "news" media have simplistically described the United States as a "democracy" for more than a century- yet the Founders expressed nothing but contempt for the very concept of a democracy...
Doesn't it seem like a good idea to at least find out why?
