Do you see what happens Larry?
Good. There is something very wrong with modern American “democracy”, a shadow of what America could be, and dammit it’s NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Fantastic!! That’s where they found BatBoy, too.
Yes. The pedantic knee-jerking whenever someone confuses democracy for a republic, which is a form of democracy, is itself out of joint. The recent USSC interpretation of the Commerce Clause blew down the remaining barriers to centralized government control, quenching the notion that we still live in a republic. It’s become a distinction without a difference.
“The possible election of Donald Trump as president is the greatest present threat to the prosperity and security of the United States,” Summers avers, and warns that Trump “is demagogically offering the power of his personality as a magic solution to all problems—and making clear that he is prepared to run roughshod over anything or anyone who stands in his way.”>>>> and trump seems to think illegal and muslime immigration is the most destructive. Wonder who is correct?
That’s a pure classical democracy. But democracy as used commonly refers to a democratic republic where public policy is ultimately decided by the people and/or their elected representatives. The late Justice Scalia used the term “American democracy” often in that context.
If he is a serious threat to American Democracy, what is he to the Republic?
You beat me to it!
Actually, Trump is a serious threat to globalist insiders.

That’s why they’re panicking.
The vitriol from all corners has been astounding.
The masks are off for those paying attention.
Cruz’s claim of not being a tool of the political elite is like Bill Clinton telling the world, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”
Rockefeller and the other Oligarchs are a clear and present danger to the Constitution (which they hate.)
Summers and the RNC/DNC and other establishment figures are just well paid puppets.
If something - ANYTHING - bothers that scumbag, them I am for it.
I thought we were a constitutional free republic. com
Until I heard Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin turncoat for Rumio and Curz ad buys.
OH! FK!
Us against them.
The REVOLUTION IS ON!
“Trump’s policy positions include AUDIT THE FEDERAL RESERVE”
I gree with that position and pray that it gets done...but unfortunately it may be his biggest undoing...it was in a sense for Kennedy!
Nicely played. Slow start and then a line drive out of the park. Woe to those who don’t read to the end.
