Why a Democracy is a Bad Idea

A Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. The ideal of a democracy is universal equality, the ideal of a constitutional Republic is individual liberty. A democracy always degenerates into dictatorship, which promises government guaranteed equality and security, but it delivers nothing but poverty and serfdom. To the people at robs and rules, America was founded as a constitutional Republic to safeguard the liberties of the people against the tyranny of democracy or of one man dictatorship. In this century, great strides have been made toward the goal of subverting our Republic into a democracy. The foremost tactic of the subverters is subversion of language. By calling America a democracy until people thoughtlessly accept and use the term, the totalitarians have obscured the real meaning of our principles of government. That is a summary of my report on a constitutional Republic, not a democracy.
