America is not a democracy. Never was, and hopefully never will be. History shows that democracy fails miserably. Democracy is nothing more than organized mob rule. Power to the masses is really power to the few. Democracy is oppressive, manipulative, controlling. It is the will of the mob imposed on the rest.
America is a constitutional Republic. Totally different in fundamental ways. Both of those words are equally important. Let's look at them :
Republic : unlike a democracy where people vote on issues directly, s Republic is a system where people's choose a representative to go, look closely at issues, and decide for them. It is representation, not democratic voting. The masses never vote on issues, they vote on people to vote on issues. It is a recognition of the fact that the masses will never be truly deeply informed so they need to appoint someone trustworthy to do the deep investigation. It is this middle layer of Representatives that makes a republic different from a democracy, and what makes one work where the other fails.
Constitutional: this is sooooooo important! Or Republic is bounded, contained, limited, protected, defined by perpetual document, the condition. Herein is the basics of government defined and controlled so the no one man nor even group can change it fundamentally. The constitution defined the rights of the individual so that the masses can not violate them. It is protection to man and limitation on the feed of those in charge. Sure the Constitution may change, slowly, obey time, with neat total agreement of the individuals, but it insulated the individual from the whims of power hungry parties.
Democracy is doomed to fail, as history shows over and over. Republics bounded by constitutions not only prevail but can promote freedom to the individual over time, across generations. This is our great nation.
Protect this with your life. The more democratic America becomes over time, the less individual people are, the less free, the more pawns of the state. Protect the constitutional Republic that god has granted you through the deaths of many brave selfless men and families. Becoming nothing more than an outside mob ruling the individual would dishonor or post and endanger our future. Protect the uniqueness of what God created here, publicise it, practice it, fight for it.
