Any speculation that Barack Obama will suddenly find it in his heart to accept ages old democratic practices can be put to rest with a letter he recently wrote urging a company to eliminate the secret ballot of workers being solicited for union membership.

The Baker City Herald has the story of Beef Northwest, a food service company, that is undergoing union agitation. Employees of Beef Northwest are being urged to join the United Farm Workers union and Obama sent a letter in support of that initiative.

Some of the employees that want the union openly signed cards saying they want the union and want to eschew a secret ballot. Beef Northwest is maintaining that the "card check" vote is not legitimate and wants a secret ballot taken. For his part, Obama sent a letter against the ages old democratic process of the secret ballot...

[ But wouldn’t you agree that it has to be a democratically-elected representative republic? Otherwise, how do you keep from becoming an aristocracy? ]

A democracy is a form of government.. a bad form..
Iterations of the word democracy is a nebulous word..
Democrats use those nebulous meanings with great confusion.. on purpose..

A democracy is always operated by an elite.. like socialism is..
and so being UNdemocratic.. except by the elite..

A democracy is NOT democratic always because of that..
Thats WHY?.. AMerica was created to be a Republic..
With a danger of being a democracy..

Democracy is ALWAYS UNdemocratic.. because it is MOB RULE by mobsters..(always).. as can a Republic become when it becomes democratic.. Democracy is a ruse.. a myth.. a scam.. a protection scam like with the mafia.. Socialism is a protection scam.. to protect you FROM government.. thats CREATES many of the peoples problems.. Exactly like a MAFIA..

Okay, I read it. Does that mean you agree with my premise or not?

Not arguing, just trying to clarify your alternative.

I do not believe that Obama is an American in his heart. He has grown up with godless people, and tends to go in that direction.
