We are not a democracy.

We are not a true democracy. Our federal government is a democratic republic.

The founders despised true democratic government, as it allowed for mob rule and is unwieldy. Representative republican governments allow for decisions to be made by a few, but those few are suppose to come from the people, represent the people, and understand the needs and desires of the people. But as in so many things, there is a big difference between theory and application.

No, you are wrong. Just pointing that out to you.

Our System is Broken

Great article. Very insightful.

- The Jays - 06-03-2003

1) How exactly am I wrong?
2) In order to try and "prove" that I am wrong, why do you then post a link to an obscure confederate website that does nothing to back up whatever arguement you are attempting to make?

- Mad - 06-03-2003

Read the article in the link and maybe you would understand the point.

Symbols that honor the memory of the Confederacy and the men who died wearing Southern gray are under attack across the country, retired Army Lt. Col. David J. King Sr. told those in attendance yesterday at the annual Confederate Heritage Celebration at Arlington National Cemetery.

The article can be summed up in this one sentance.

Quote:Our system of republican government is broken because it was dependent on elected representatives doing just that, representing the people.

I have surmized three things from this article.
1) It BLATENTLY ADMITS that we elect our representatives to office, rather than them being appointed, which sounds alot like a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC.
2) It says that this system of government is wrong.
3) The world would be a better place if niggers were either picking cotton, or hanging from trees.
