The objective is to have good government. It is not to have a democracy. Absolutely not. The United States is a Constitutional Republic. And I wanted to add, thank God we are not a Democracy. |

The objective is to have good government. It is not to have a democracy. The definition Democracy can be applied to the US since the introduction of the 17th Amendment, since when Senators are directly elected by the people. Absolutely not. The United States is a Constitutional Republic. And I wanted to add, thank God we are not a Democracy. |

When i first glanced over this Thread title I thought is read ... Naw, forgive the poor boy GF. The lack of women in his party means he's got too much time on his hands. Maybe if the Chinese import more he might get lucky. |

Thanks on the Brit elections, folks. I have no idea what I was thinking of. Nothing intended. I know I read something like that. I remember to many bits and pieces. I am almost certain England was involved else I would not have paid attention to it. Were they changes to party rules? Something about replacing a party leader maybe?

The objective is to have good government. It is not to have a democracy. A democracy means majority rules and that's the end of it. Maybe you should do some research about what a Constitutional Republic means and then remind yourself why America has a constitution and why this country is designed to protect the minority, not the majority. I'll say it again, you do not want majority rule in the USA. You guys crack me up. |

What the US is: A Constitutional Republic, where the rights of the 'individual' are protected. What they pretend it is: America is a Democracy - where an individual is forced to comply with the will of the majority. What it really is: A corporation owned by international banking cabals, where the individual has no rights and whose labor is used as collateral in an unlawful pyramid scheme. |

So I'm told, but If so many Americans are unhappy in their own country where else can they go? The UK as we have an unrestricted open door policy :) |

So I'm told, but If so many Americans are unhappy in their own country where else can they go? Why should they leave? I say fix it if you think it is broke. The problem is most Americans are too busy with complacency and are apathetic to what is going on..too busy watching Honey BooBoo and the Kardashians....and watching <insert whatever absurd reality show you want here>. |
