By Popular Demand: America Is Not a ‘Democracy’

The United States Constitution–you know, the law of the land, that Democrats are always trying to get rid of–guarantees each and every state a republican form of government, not a “democracy.” You could look it up. Or you could visit any one of a dozen People’s Democratic Republics around the world and see how you like eating tree-bark for breakfast.

Democracy, as practiced throughout history, is a terrible thing that lands its practitioners in troubles that are not easy to get out of. Our country’s founders knew that: they were determined to avoid subjecting their new country to “democracy.”

We keep trying to undo their work. That will catch up with us someday.
