I believe that buried deep down inside every Conservative you'll find a Libertarian - And Inside Every Liberal Is A Totalitarian Screaming To Get Out.

New GOP Contemplates Suicide by Open Caucus in 2012

Once “Republicans” are sold on “Democracy,” we really do have only one side of the political aisle and one political party.

From Article IV – Section IV of the U.S. Constitution – “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.”

Who told Republicans that we are a democracy? It wasn’t Thomas Jefferson, who said quite plainly - “A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.” – It’s actually worse than Jefferson stated. Today, democracy is where 30% of the people can and do run roughshod over 70% who stand opposed, just because 70% are too decent and ill-formed to even realize they are at war with the 30% seeking a very different form of government, one based on free-stuff at the expense of freedom.

Even Karl Marx, the father of socialism, was quite clear on the subject - “Democracy is the road to socialism.” – Yet, most Americans have been indoctrinated to believe that America is a democracy instead of a Constitutional Representative Republic and there is a day and night difference between the two. As a result, many modern day (big tent) Republicans fight for the wrong things today, as they proclaim adherence to principles and values that they don’t even know. CONTINUE READING
