Democracy - the Big Lie

Our republic was never intended to be a democracy. Founder Ben Franklin described democracy as "Two wolves and a lamb voting on what is for dinner. Liberty is a well armed lamb."

Thomas J described it simply as mob rules. Why the distaste for what we are to believe is such a rightious form of government that we are literally justified killing people who resist it?

Here is a great statement:
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess of the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's great civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again to bondage. (Sir Alex Fraser Tytler) (1742-1813) Scottish jurist and historian

Calling our country a democracy is the first lie we must come to terms with my learned friends.
