The founders were distrustful of democracy. That's why they didn't make the United States a democracy. We are a representative republic.Originally Posted by truthmatters
Anyone with History 101 knows that. I may think many of the Republicans on here are batshit crazy and are severely uneducated, you are by far the most unintelligent member of this board, by a long shot.

Democrary?
Is that like when a Chinese place confirms your order as "reef and roccori"?

We aren't a democracy. We are a republic, in which our representatives vote on our behalf.
Nice try.
Liberty is the greatest measure of equality.

You dont get to redefine the words in the dictionary to defend your hate for what this country was founded on.

Are you talking to yourself now?
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

Let me repeat:
The United States is NOT A DEMOCRACY.
We are a REPUBLIC.
Do you understand?

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."

You need to get educated. Every member, no matter no dumb, has made a decent point at least once. However, YOU have NOT.

You seriously need to find a new hobby and cease discussing politics. You have shown yourself to be an uneducated, foolish, idiot.
From the piece:
The problem, of course, is that our country is not a democracy. Our nation was founded as a constitutionally limited republic, as any grammar school child knew just a few decades ago

That is why we are not a direct democracy.
Would you choose a direct democracy?
Do you understand what would have to happen to be a direct democracy?
The people would have to vote on everything that was done.
Lets not be stupid.
We are still a democracy and just go ahead and try and say we are not?
