I’m really beginning to believe democratic form of government can never work. They just can’t. Deep down, people want a king to lead them around and absolve them of personal responsibility. It’s what happened to the Israelites in the Bible.

In the history of the world, representative government, based on the natural law, is extremely rare.

A truly democratic form is probably impossible to MAKE work.
A constitutional republic would work for a people who have morals and fortitude but when the people become degenerate it devolves into a democracy. The spectacle of people who should know better referring to America as a democracy as if it was designed to be a democracy is all the explanation needed for why the country is falling apart. Try to explain to most people that the United States of America was never intended to be a democracy and they look at you as if you are an idiot.

When people are sold the idea that ANYONE who is over eighteen years of age and breathing is a qualified voter there is no way for a nation to survive. Very few of the people who SHOULD be voting want a “king to lead them around and absolve them of personal responsibility” but their votes are overcome by the votes of those who in all too many cases don’t even speak English let alone understand one thing about what they are actually voting for and by the votes of those who actually DO NOT EXIST. Vote fraud is an old and honored tradition in this country.
