Our founding fathers detested the idea of a democracy and labored long to prevent America becoming one. Once again - the word 'democracy' does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, or the constitution of any of the fifty states. Not once. Furthermore, take a look at State of the Union speeches. You won't find the 'D' word uttered once until the Wilson years.

Lynch mobs are democracies.
Isn't it somewhat remarkable that we can go back a a few hundred years and find no shortage of quotations from our founding fathers warning us against the dangers of democracy, yet today teachers and politicians use the word as if it were an offering of gold.
Free speech is meant to protect unpopular speech. Popular speech, by definition, needs no protection.
What sort of a brain-dead idiot does it take to actually believe that gun laws will prevent criminals from obtaining and carrying guns?
No wonder politicians love government schools. Where do you think the dumb masses come from that can be so easily led and manipulated?
Racism is a belief in the inherent superiority of one race over another.
Speaking of earning, the revered 40-hour workweek is for losers. Forty hours should be considered the minimum, not the maximum.

The majority - the mob and occasionally the lynch mob - ruled.
