"Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the accidental opinion of the day, but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, unalterable through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery."
- Thomas Jefferson
If you take the time to read through the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution you'll notice that one particular word is conspicuously absent from these documents: Democracy.
Our country was never intended to be a democracy. It was founded as a republic. The difference between a democracy and a republic is that a republic has a charter, and our charter is the Constitution. In a democracy, 51% of the population own the other 49%, meaning that 51% of the population can vote to take away your property and there is not a thing you can do about it.
A democracy is a form of government where the mob rules.
The United States of America is a republic, and in this republic 99% of the population can vote to take away your property but you still get to keep it because you have an unalienable right to your own property. Our founding fathers were not concerned with democracy, they were concerned with liberty, and there can be no liberty where the mob rules.
So if the United States of America is and always has been a republic, why do you think the Bush administration has spent the last seven and a half years driving home the message that the United States is a democracy, and that we are spreading democracy around the world, and that people are truly free when they live in a democracy?
Do you honestly believe that the president of the United States does not know he is the president of a republic? While I will grant you that George W. Bush would never be mistaken for an intellectual, it is foolish to assume he is unaware of his role. He's fully conscious of the fact that he is the president of a republic.
So why has he continually described the United States as a democracy?
Because it serves the larger purpose of his administration. If people believe that they live in a democracy they will no longer believe they deserve the rights afforded them by a republic. Think about the utter contempt the Bush administration has shown for the other two branches of government. Read through the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act and see them both for what they are - an outright assault on the Bill of Rights.
The larger purpose is to slowly dissolve the original idea of the United States of America, and then create a merger with Canada and Mexico (see SPP.gov). This is what the NAFTA Superhighway is all about. Your republic is being incrementally dismantled and repackaged as a corporation. Soon, you will no longer be a citizen with unalienable rights. You will be an employee with privileges, privileges that can be taken away at the whim of your new masters.
And it doesn't matter whether you vote for Obama, Clinton or McCain because if you go to votesmart.org and check out the top 20 contributors to each campaign you will find that all three candidates are owned by the same banking families who have been planning this incorporation of America for a long time, the same banking families who are deliberately destroying the value of the dollar in an effort to weaken the American citizen's ability to resist the coming storm.
Vote Libertarian or prepare for a life of slavery.
"But I don't want to waste my vote."
Waste your vote? Allow me to once again quote Michael Badnarik - "If I give you a 50% chance of lethal injection, a 45% chance of electrocution, and a 5% chance of escape, which one are you going to choose?"
