Has anyone ever taken the time to contemplate the names "Republican" and "Democrat?" And think about what the very nature of their parties imply?
The term "Democrat" going back two centuries... is about majority rule. About pleasing the masses. About pandering to the largest number of people in a Greek-kind of democracy where majority rules and the minority, well... they can go %$#k themselves. This also worked great in a system where only white males could vote... especially in a South where the majority was really a minority... if you took out slaves and women (dames, skirts and broads for those UN-PC among-us.) In which case, a majority of qualified voters could always rule over a minority.
Then you have the Republicans... which ultimately triumphed over the Whig's. And took over their party. Again, what's in a name? Oh... yeah... a Republic. A Constitutional Republic. In which the majority does not rule. But one in which a Constitution sets out the dictates of governance in which the majority cannot rule-over or oppress the minority... because there are a massive number of checks and balances built into the system to ensure that the Majority... does not win.
Remember that in a democracy... the two wolves can vote against the sheep to decide what's for dinner. In a Constitiutional Republic, the sheep is protected from... becoming dinner.
Perhaps this is not the thread in which to post this little reminder... But I get awful tired of hearing how we are a democracy... and how Democrats have the best interests of the sheep in mind. When, really, they are voting on who to have for dinner. Especially now that they have turned into the Communist Party.
Let's see.... who did they have for dinner? The entire proletariat. The kulaks. Anyone who was deemed educated. In the 1930's... almost everyone above Major in the military. Jews. Minorities (as they called them) in the 'stans. What was the final death toll? 30 million? 45 million? I know that it dwarfed National Socialism (their kissing cousin's) death toll by about 3x.
Meh... what's in a name.
Let's just hold a majority vote here and get rid of the minority of communist members who we find so annoying here.
