RE: Why we are a Republic, and Not a Democracy!

A Republic keeps the 800 pound gorilla from climbing up on a citizens shoulders when they don't toe the politically correct mark. A perfect example is the people who have been in prison for two years without being charged. This is unconstitutional in our Republic, but that 800 pound gorilla has forgotten that he is Not in charge!

In a democracy this is perfectly acceptable, in a Constitutional Republic it is a Felony! The Republic is formed to protect it's citizens from government abuse, allowing them to decide what they will do with their lives! In a democracy it is mob rule, and you are a cog with assigned functions.

The classic form of democracy is two wolves and one sheep, voting on what's for dinner....

Sort:  

The Constitution is a framework for trampling rights, and the Bill of Rights has been systematically violated since George Washington. It doesn't cage the 800 lb. gorilla, it gives it excuses and enshrines it as "legitimate." Lysander Spooner trampled such arguments in "No Treason" and his letter to Grover Cleveland.

The Bill of Rights is a limiting document, recognizing rights given to Man by GOD himself! As such these rights are beyond the authority of government.

How (short of Anarchy) would you change it?

👍😳🤕🥵💲

It hasn't limited government. Every article has been infringed. Besides, I'm an anarchist, so....

The infringements are Our failure, and not the Republic's. WE allow this feces, and get the government we deserve!

Anarchy is not a form of government, it is rule by power. To the most violent goes the spoils, everyone else is a slave or dead...even democracy is better than that!

When the economy crashes, you'll be so happy, it will be in anarchy! Then we live or die based on the force we control. I intend to thrive, so I've up armed to ensure that anarchy doesn't kill me!

👍😳🤕🥵🤠😭💩🤬⛑️

Victim blaming. The government is not us. It does not represent us. It never has. It is a group of usurped. The entire principle of "consent of the governed" is nonsense, and people only comply under a perverse blend of duress and deception.

State collapse is chaos. This chaos does not prove the lgitimacy of the prior state. It does deomstrate the failure of usurped authority.

Sorry, we did allow this feces, and they are emboldened enough that now they make their own votes; and no longer need us. We are a century down timeline from a Constitutional Republic, so neither of us has seen this Republic when it was functional.

Anarchy is chaos, so I don't see that as a solution either. When it crashes, I'll be in the country growing or wildcrafting to supply our needs.

When the gangs of anarchists finally get hungry enough to come to try to steal from us, I will be forced to kill them. That will solve my anarchy problems...and we will thrive!

Anarchy doesn't mean chaos. That is a bogeyman created by the state. Government means chaos. Society and the market only work because of anarchy in our everyday lives.
