“...the French Revolution is likely the worst disaster to befall Western Civilization since the black Death...”
Post of the day! Many (students in the American public schools, for example) are told that the French Revolution was a good thing and it was NOT!
Heaven is a hierarchy (Christ the King) and pure democracy will always play out to disaster since the average IQ is just above 100 and the people will vote for handouts eventually and the tyrants will keep the handouts rolling to stay in power.
A republic does work - but it WILL devolve into a fascist tyranny because of fallen human nature unless there are definite stops put into the laws; e.g. having to be a landholder to vote, etc. In this age, owning property may not be the best requirement filter, however something ought to be put in place so the completely clueless or illegal can’t vote until the prove they are properly informed on the issues; there should be a literacy of American History test required before someone can vote.
This is the exact reason that Obama and his evil ilk want to overwhelm the voting system with illegals. The most frightening aspect is that their plan is working.
But they have the best King possible, something this world won't have until the Second Coming.
True, but if that filter is applied consistently, you get monarchy because the national infrastructure -- the "commons" -- requires an owner.
