"The USA was founded
in the name of democracy,
equality and individual freedom,
but is failing to deliver
the fundamental promise of
protecting rights for all."

Reader comments about this quote:
How ironic that Amnesty International actively champions individual rights and yet denounce any effort by nations to defend their rights in the name of self-defense.
 -- Kevin, Austin		 
Sorry, but this government of ours was founded on the principals of a Republic and not a democracy. Democracy is the reason our country is approaching anarchy.

They have a point. Don't let misguided patriotism cause you to deny it. To Tom from Boulder, democracy is the reason we are approaching collectivism and full-on socialism. How can there be anarchy when legislators pass new laws at the drop of a hat, far too many of which step on our freedoms because we clearly don't know as well as Uncle Sam what's good for us? Democracy will lead us to fascism and not by force, we'll elect it.

I like Ben Franklin's quote about democracy the best. "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner."

and to the democracy for which it stands? i think NOT big fat zero
 -- Republic not Democracy, USA		 
This is, unfortunately, true. Also: 1) a republic is a kind of democracy, and 2) hugh from st. louis, you have an interesting perspective.

A democracy is NOT any form of a republic...you better do some more investigation......FAST!
