Comments on: Has the Election Already Been Stolen? http://luminaria.wordpress.com/2008/11/04/has-the-election-already-been-stolen/ The road to truth is long, and lined the entire way with annoying bastards. —A.

At any rate, the "republic" portion of "democratic republic" instigated a coup after FDR while the "democratic" portion fell into a deep sleep of disillusionment, as we watched elections and constitutional rights stolen again and again. But now the ball is in the democratic corner, and it's absolutely critical that each one of us becomes accountable to each other, that each of us rolls up our sleeves, and that each of us does our part to switch the tracks of this speeding disaster of a freight train.

However, I doubt I need to remind you how often America is described as a "democracy," "liberal democracy" or at least "democratic." Very often, that's. Even US officials themselves use these descriptions. Oh, I’m indeed well aware of that label.

But may I remind you that America isn't, and has never been, a democracy. It's a constitutional republic.

What I find even more interesting is that either way, the election is fraudulent. Even if carried out 100% lawfully, "democracy" does not fulfill its promise. The people or the majority do not rule. The president voted in by the masses does not "run the country." It’s possible. What I find even more interesting is that either way, the election is fraudulent.
