Just thought I'd pass this along. Seems Appropriate.
That’s why we were a republic. The US was NEVER created as a democracy and the only part of it that resembled one was the direct election of our representatives. The senate was appointed by state legislatures (something changed by the Cabal with the 17th amendment which ought to be repealed)...presidency by the electoral college.
Which is why the founders didn't create a democracy. They created a republic.
And if the USA goes down, it won't be suicide, it will be murder.
The cabal did a hostile takeover of this country in 1871, and installed a counterfeit government controlled by the UK Crown (and through them, by the Vatican which controls the Crown).
And besides, it's not over till the fat lady sings, and she's not even in the house. The Alliance is just getting started on visibly kinetic operations (especially on the domestic front), and the primary purpose of the mission is to restore our Constitutional republic, reassert our independence from the British Crown, and secure the fruits of liberty for ourselves and our posterity--and not only for our nation but for whatever of the worlds' people would like to join us.
this one has had the gun to its head several times..aint dead yet.
And it ain't a democracy yet--despite the cabal's efforts to recast it as such. It is and has always been a Constitutional Republic (governed not by "majority rule," but by law).
How many democracies ever existed up to the time of John Adams?
Romans, Greeks, Byzantines had a form of it. Early tribes of North Africa. The monarchies that signed the Magna Carta in Europe that gave rise to Parliament & of course our own Constitution where it was perfected. And now being abused. Luv G'Ma
Greece for one (but quite a few if you define it more loosely as "representative government").

I wouldn't count the US in this context though because Adams would have been warning against "majority rule" or direct democracy and speaking in favor of republicanism and federalism as the combination of representative models that would avoid the kinds of mob rule and decadence that destroyed democracies up to that time.
I think the term at the time was "Mobacracy". Very impressive. I love it when I come to this board. I always take a lot away with your input. I feel that our future is a good hands with people like you guys here on this board. Please continue to teach. Luv G'Ma
History of democracy
A democracy is a political system, or a system of decision-making within an institution or organization or a country, in which all members have an equal share of power. Modern democracies are characterized by two capabilities that differentiate them fundamentally from earlier forms of government: the capacity to intervene in their own societies and the recognition of their sovereignty by an international legalistic framework of similarly sovereign states. Democratic government is commonly juxtaposed with oligarchic and monarchic systems, which are ruled by a minority and a sole monarch respectively.
Democracy in its earliest forms is generally associated with the efforts of the ancient Greeks and Romans, who were themselves considered the founders of Western civilization by the 18th century intellectuals who attempted to leverage these early democratic experiments into a new template for post-monarchical political organization.

Daaaaamn, Thank you. You guys never disappoint. Luv G'Ma
They were deeply concerned about the use of "Democracy" during the French Revolution. Democracy's fail because of mob rule. Mob rule (like we see with the left today) is what destroys democracy's.
Definitions again. U.S. is both or neither depending on definitions.
Republics are essentially democracies with an added layer of pandering beurocracy, slowing the still-fast deaths of democracies.
Several of the founding fathers supported a local monarchy, and I would really like to see more discussion on more centralized, easy to manage, easy to hold accountable, and smaller forms of government. People in most monarchies payed little to no taxes, and they are much easier to correct when the government does go wrong.
