		<description>&lt;em&gt;...so what if the word &#8216;democracy&#8217; was never used in the Constitution or the Dec of Ind? You can describe something without using the word.&lt;/em&gt;

The founding documents doesn&#039;t reference describe a dictatorship, socialist welfare state, communist regime, or papal theocracy, either.  They describe a Republic, exactly as they specify. The Founding Fathers were explicit in describing what type of government they were establishing.  Should they have wanted a democracy, they would have said so.  They didn&#039;t.  They knew full well from their extensive study of other governments and the annals of history that governments can be overrun by the tyranny of the majority.

Shocking that that&#039;s exactly what is going on today...

&lt;em&gt;You might want to provide more justification that Democrats do not support democracy. &lt;/em&gt;

Does one example not suffice?  Perhaps &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lewrockwell.com/callahan/callahan27.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;another&lt;/a&gt;?

&lt;blockquote&gt;The Democratic Party core of support comes from just a few groups, such as union workers, especially government union workers, trial lawyers, and those who receive government assistance. These groups have something in common &#8211; they all rely on the threat of government violence for their sustenance. In other words, the Democratic Party is the party of the thieves and parasites.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Socialist robber is hardly the hallmark of a strong democracy.

&lt;em&gt;One day we have to sit down and discuss evidence and finding good sources.&lt;/em&gt;

Good sources and ones you don&#039;t disagree with are two separate things. :)</description>

		<description>Or are you an introverted extrovert? Maybe you&#039;re an introvert who can &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; extrovert.

I hate that &#039;we don&#039;t live in a democracy&#039; meme, btw. I read your link -- so what if the word &#039;democracy&#039; was never used in the Constitution or the Dec of Ind? You can describe something without using the word. Haven&#039;t you ever played &#039;Taboo&#039;?

While I&#039;m having a grizzle: You might want to provide more justification that Democrats do not support democracy. Right now, your evidence is that they pass legislation that pays for things the John Birch Society doesn&#039;t like. 

One day we have to sit down and discuss evidence and finding good sources. They covered it in general ed, but you may have forgotten.

Did you see that? I just referenced three other threads in this comment. Go for four! Um...

Look out, everyone! &lt;i&gt;Communists!&lt;/i&gt;</description>
