[CONCERNED AMERICAN]: Do you even realize that our founding fathers created a Republican form of government, not a Democracy? - in fact, they hated the idea of Democracies.
[BUSH/OBAMA SUPPORTER]: Same difference. Democracy, Republic, Liberty. All the same. All are anit-elveslamo-fascism.
[CONCERNED AMERICAN]: Really?
A democracy is a one-vote system as opposed to a Republic, which is a four-vote system. Four votes to check tyranny, not just one.
The first vote is at the polls on election day when we pick those who are to represent us in the seats of government. But what can be done (in a Democracy) if those elected officials just don't perform as promised or expected? - or follow the Constitution?
In a Democracy, the people have to wait until the next election cycle. Under a Republic, votes two-three-four are the most effective means by which the common people of any nation on earth have ever had in controlling those appointed to serve them well in government.
In a Republic, the second vote comes when you serve on a Grand Jury. Before anyone can be brought to trial for a capital or infamous crime by those acting in the name of government, permission must be obtained from people serving on the Grand Jury! The Minneapolis Star and Tribune, on March 27th 1987, put it this way: "A grand jury's purpose is to protect the public from an overzealous prosecutor."
The third is the most powerful vote; this is when you are acting as a jury member during a courtroom trial. At this point, "the buck stops" with you! It is in this setting that each juror has more power than the President, all of Congress, and all of the judges combined! Congress can legislate (make law), the President or some other bureaucrat can make an order or issue regulations, and judges may instruct or make a decision, but no juror can ever be punished for voting "Not Guilty!" Any juror can, with impunity, choose to disregard the instructions of any judge or attorney in rendering his vote. If only one juror should vote "Not Guilty" for any reason, there is no conviction and no punishment at the end of the trial. Thus, those acting in the name of government must come before the common man to get permission to enforce a law.
If all else fails, i.e. elections are stolen, juries are bribed and/or threatened, we the people of a Republic get a forth vote. We get to defensively vote from the rooftops against tyranny's enforcers, who always come to your door in a uniform.
To put this simply, in a democracy, two wolves and a sheep vote on what's for supper. In a constitutional republic, the sheep rule, the wolves decide nothing, and the sheep are well armed. (for more information, see Citizens Rulebook)
[BUSH/OBAMA SUPPORTER]: Well, why did Bush, a Republican, like to spread Democracy throughout the world?
[CONCERNED AMERICAN]: The same reason a whore likes to spread her legs - easy money. Spreading Democracy is just a PC (politically correct) enunciation of filling the coffers of the Military Industrial Complex by bombing the manure out of random brown skinned nations, just like spreading her legs is PC for screwing the manure out of random people for cash.
[BUSH/OBAMA SUPPORTER]: So Bush is a whore of the Military Industrial Complex?
[CONCERNED AMERICAN]: Yes. Though more politely put, a serial pitchman for murdering the innocent, i.e. Iraqi babies.
[BUSH/OBAMA SUPPORTER]: What about Obama?
And ask yourself: Are we out of Iraq? Has the economy improved? Will Obama's Healthcare plan profit BIG Pharma or help the poor? Will Obama's Cap&Trade plan profit 'Carbon Traders' such as Al Gore and Goldman Sachs or will it help the working class? Has anything changed for the WORKING Class?
No!
And that's because November Messiah's protect themselves and their elite backers and friends with 'political law'. The common person is ONLY protected by 'constitutional law'.
