Not a Democracy

We're not a democracy.

We're not a democracy.

We're not a democracy.

Keep saying it. Keep telling it to people. Remind them constantly and consistently. We are a constitutional republic. We should stay a constitutional republic. 

Democracies are ultimately tyrannies. Tyrannies of the majority where, left unchecked, left without protection for the rights of the political minority, they will destroy us.

Majority rule should never be absolute. Simply having the most votes is far from a guarantee that you're right. You may only be running roughshod over the true rights of the people. The natural rights of the people.

We are not a democracy. And in our sane moments, we do not want to be.
