Neal Boortz Quotes About Democracy

Quotes about: Democracy

• Our founding fathers detested the idea of a democracy and labored long to prevent America becoming one.

The majority of people were white, and the white majority had little or no respect for any rights which the black minority had relative to property, or even to their own lives. The majority - the mob and occasionally the lynch mob - ruled.
