Author: The following is written in order that people will understand the difference between a Democracy and a Republic, they are not the same exact thing. Even Harvard educated Obama ‘appears’ not to know the difference as he constantly refers to America as a democracy in his speeches on television.
(“A Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of Government, it can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves *largess out of public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that Democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a Dictatorship“)
Note; [This was written by Professor, Alexander Fraser Tytler, nearly 200 years ago, based on his studied knowledge of past world history.] *Lar-gess, noun, (lahr-jes, lahr-jis)= {Liberality in bestowing gifts, especially in a lofty or condescending manner.} Does allowing illegal immigrants social security benefits ring a bell? How about giving them educations on your dime? Giving them ‘free’ health care when they have not even paid into our system. Or does giving incentives by rewarding welfare moms to stay home to keep popping out illegitimate babies, that the working tax payers have to house, feed and clothe ring any bells?
Bailing out huge banks and corporations and car companies that by rights in a free market should have failed due to bad internal management, forcing their debt and failures on the American working tax payer. You get the picture, and this is the first time in American history were the do-nothing, lay-a- bouts actually outnumber the workers. That means they can and will out vote you in order to get more freebies, (largess) paid for by you!
Pay attention working Americans, not much incentive left to go to work is there? Democracy results in ‘mobocracy’ which is political control by a mob. Democracy is the “direct” rule of the people, whether it is based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. A democracy is governed by ‘whim’, not rule of law and has been repeatedly tried without success throughout history.
This is why our Founding Fathers created America as a Republic instead of a democracy. They made a very marked distinction between a Republic and a democracy and said repeatedly and emphatically that they had founded a Republic. They knew with educated certainty that democracies were doomed to fail, just as history had repeatedly shown. Please stay tuned, the difference is made crystal clear on page 2 above, Mark Shean- written 2-17-2010 www.mafirearmsafety.com
