The Founding Fathers created a Republic, not a Democracy. They hated political parties (the Whigs and Tories of Great Britain) which they saw as the inevitable result of a representative democracy. Nevertheless, representative democracy soon replaced the oligarchic American Republic...Woflhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10215884001340285492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-74413558860746574802011-11-30T10:12:00.449-06:002011-11-30T10:12:00.449-06:00It was also in "Juarez" that Napoleon II...It was also in "Juarez" that Napoleon III said "Democracy! Government of the cattle, by the cattle, for the cattle!"<br />For surely if the cattle were to vote, they'd vote themselves out of the plate, leaving nothing to eat for anyone, in apt metaphor for your point.<br />It's just as de Maistre said, "in a democracy, every people get the government they deserve". Which is why, although I dislike politicians, I blame more often the people. Politicians are elected after all, and they respond to the stimulus of the barometer of popular opinion, and nothing else, not even reason (those who do are soon tossed out).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8783969302315257415.post-85989089354312962242011-11-30T00:51:19.215-06:002011-11-30T00:51:19.215-06:00Proverbs 16:25 reads,:
There is a way that seemet...Proverbs 16:25 reads,: <br />There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.<br /><br />I feel that today’s love of Democracy, of even the Conservative American drive for “A Republic, not a Democracy” is inherently rooted in false assumptions about Human Nature and the Nature of Monarchy. They are fed stories about Brutal and Tyrannical Kings and now it is common knowledge that most Kings in History have been bad, with the good being rare indeed. Nobles and Aristocrats are portrayed as at best out of touch and at worst selfish and concerned only with sating their own Lusts at the expense of those unfortunate enough to be subjected to them.<br /><br />The Idea behind today’s Democracy is also Rebellion. Revolution fuels it, and we all know that a Rebel heart is one that is discontent. You do not find Contentment in fuelling hatred though, however, in a Republic you must Fuel Hatred, how else does the Machinery of State hold Elections if not for Parties?<br /><br /><br />Most don’t understand Monarchy, and don’t see it as a King who rules in the same way a man may own, and even inherit, a business or a house. They see it as a man who is a Dictator who has them in servitude, and Liberty coming only when “The people” take what is “Rightfully their own”. Many in America can’t even understand that this thinking is what leads to Socialism and in the end Communism, as they are too tied into the fantasy that somehow the two are opposites.<br /><br />The Truth is, Rebellion and a desire to take what is someone else’s is the very nature of a Republic, with the illusion maintained by constant fear and distrust amidst the Citizens supposedly United. It always breaks down in the end, but people think that it is the opposite of ehat it rally is, and think Monarchy is also the opposite of what is Truly is, as they are fed on the Lie of a Free Lunch, and kept at each others Throats too long to think about it, or fed stories of Glorious Revolution.<br /><br /><br />But I agree, the West is ending, and I think that in 100 Years, though I am not Prophet and don’t know, Democracy will have run its course. If we are fortunate, Monarchy will be restored. If not, dictatorship or oligarchy awaits us.ZAROVEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17668854596329493360noreply@blogger.com
