"...I think democracy is best..."

Really? That's not what our founding fathers wanted. It's not what they had in mind at all.

And i don't care how many people say that democracy was the intent and it is the right way to go. The simple truth is that they are wrong. And i have no hatred for them for it. It is not their fault that they do not see the truth for it has been hidden for a long time.

The founding fathers wanted a Republic. A republic is a nation that is run by the rule of written laws. These laws protect the rights of the individual against a tyrannical government.

But what about democracy?

Don't take my word for it. Here's a few quotes that i found from some people of interest:

"Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention. Have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths" - James Madison

"Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes itself, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." -Samuel Adams

When Benjamin Franklin was asked what kind of nation the founders had worked tirelessly to secure for soon to be freed men, he replied "A republic…if we can keep it."

See, a democracy rules by public opinion. The founding fathers knew that democracies always degenerate into favoritism, special interests groups, mob rule, and ultimately tyranny, due to a majority of the uninformed public consistently and predictably voting to elect those politicians who would guarantee them the redistribution of public wealth.

I want the republic back. The one that is guaranteed to me in the writings of the Constitution.

You know, the best way i can describe democracy is this: Democracy is like two ravenous wolves and one sheep, voting on what they will have for breakfast.
