this is a rant, inspired by another thread which may indeed cause the board moderators to censor me, an if that's the case then it is what it is.

THIS (UNITED STATES OF AMERICA) IS A REPUBLIC. IT IS NOT A DEMOCRACY.

Democracy is a politically correct description of MOB RULE. The individual and certainly the minority has NO RIGHTS except those granted by the majority.

ONLY A REPUBLIC guarantees the rights of the individual.

Try saying the pledge of aliegance once in a while. You can convolute it by leaving out UNDER GOD if you like, but it won't change the fact that you pledge aliegance to a REPUBLIC.

If you can't figure it out, then go discuss it with Rosie O freaking Donnel because she doesn't get it either.
