"I can’t think of anything that would do more toward putting us back on the road to liberty and personal responsibility than for the average American, and for the news media, to come to the understanding that we are not a democracy, nor were we supposed to be."

Reader comments about this quote:
It would be a FANTASTIC start. There are other issues that are equal or greater in putting us back on the road to liberty and personal responsibility. (such as educating: about what debt instruments do to destroy freedom and liberty; about the family being the foundation/center of society - economically, morally, educationally, etc.; about law enforcement being an oxymoron - enforced compelled compliance, license, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity [funny money, income / property / life tax, etc.], non-recognition of inalienable rights are crimes; etc., etc., etc.)

    Democracy will always be the two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for supper.

    Good luck with that! ;-) You won't hear anything like that from the mainstream media that is owned by globalists who are running the racket. Like the Catholic Church of old (and even today), the people are to be kept in their place while the 'authorities' take care of business on their behalf. Egomaniacs all.

    Well said Archer. Nail on the head. The largest denomination on the planet has a way of keeping truth in the dark. As with her offshoots of Protestantism that follow in line with her method of lies. The one doctrine denied inspection and kept from the pulpit ( II Tim 2:15 ) Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to be ashamed ( rightly dividing the word of truth ). To cut aright, the whole truth is for you, but not all to you. If the doctrines of liberty and freedom were plainly spoken then their congregations would leave the building and call them liars and thieves. The truth is so oppressed that when people hear it they think it came out from under a rock. The truth will make you free !

    Democracies have always been as short in life as they have been violent in death. The majority cannot justifiably rule over the minority.

    We should, however, be a democracy. Our founders were just too inept and primitive in their depth to understand our human characteristics. Mutually allowing the full rights of expression among our populous would slowly bring understanding and the regenerative processes to the path of the proper ruling inclinations of the people, We the People.

    I'm sorry Editor I must make a follow up on this quote. Democracy is totally necessary. The problem is that the conventional individual simply has no sustainable case for themselves and therefore never faces up to the responsibility of examination and correction that is the demand of the democratic process as life itself.  We the People have a case. We can house everyone. We can feed everyone. We can develop everyone. We can peacefully resolve our trillions of dollars. We can travel the universe. Only with a democratic understanding can we perform these procedures.
