Never took a civics class, eh? Pure democracy is all parties deciding all things; unwieldy in all but the smallest organizations, unworkable in most. What we have is representative democracy, where the people at large elect a small group to deal with the nuts and bolts (and we currently have no shortage of nuts). REPLY: In practice you’re right, this is what we have. What we are SUPPOSED to have, is a constitutional Republic. The critical difference is that the constitution is meant to limit the power of the government, not seeing much of that lately are we? What the founding fathers intended was strong state governments so the nuts could congregate away from the rest of as (think California) leaving those of us who want nothing to do with them to our own states where we can live free of Socialism, Communism, Fascism, and all the other “isms”. The weak central government was only ever meant to maintain the army, negotiate treaties, mediate disputes between states, and a VERY few other things. See, that way the baby unalivers, and other unstable types can have their way to their heart’s content without inflicting their lunacy on the rest of us. WE can then ignore all that and watch you fall into the state California has fallen into.
What you term “democracy” is, in fact, oligarchy – which is what we’ve been rushing toward since November.
REPLY: Oh, look everyone, once again the left projects their agenda on the right. What a surprise. Let me guess your hair color: Neon blue? No, purple, or maybe green, yeah, green; 15 or more piercings including the mandatory nose ring and covered head to toe in tattoos, most of which are probably satanic in some way.
I applaud your sentiment, but we are NOT a democracy even if we’ve been acting like one: Rule of all by a small elite group. We are a constitutional Republic: By the people for the people. The distinction is critical because of the progressive de-education of each generation into what we now have. We desperately need to re-instill our forefathers’ values before we lose our country. Calling out the difference will at the least make people think about whether they want to be free or dictated to by criminals wasting our tax dollars on everything but our own country.
Women do that much better than we do (normally, if you leave out the radical fringe), it’s why God gave them to us. We need to be tempered or all we’d ever be is a gorilla. If you’d like to see the fringe in action watch the comments for a few days after this post, some of us remain incorrigible despite our wives’ best efforts. ;-) I just know someone will trigger off it.
Even without the um, erotic aspects of this, I can tell you a man lives for those moments when she shows her love like that. 27 blissful years and still to this day if she reaches over to stoke my arm or pat my leg unsolicited, I’m on cloud nine for the rest of the night.
What I like and will miss after our boy eventually retires are comics like today’s. NORMAL, happy couple loving on each other the way all coupes ought to. I thank the Lord for my wife, she makes our lives like Arlo and Janis’s.
