Knock it off DY. If enough people demand action and action is taken it is proof of democracy. Remember democracy? It's what you righties believed in before you LOST the election. Sleep well.

Democracy is secondary to more important things such as civil liberties, constitutionalism, and federalism, so its not really what this righty believes in.
As for the OP, Legion is an annoying faggot, but I don't really believe in banning him. He finally got around to groaning me 8 times last night, though...
something funny about this. He has just groaned me and he groaned just about everyone during the last 24 hours..but he is not listed as being present!
Why is that?

Democracy does not allow the majority to strip the rights of the minority.

It actually does, which is why the philosophers of the 18th Century used mobs as an analogy for democracy in a ruined state. Republicanism is the mechanism which prevents that, but in America, we also have federalism and constitutionalism. All three are mechanisms for preserving civil liberties. Democracy is the tricky little requirement which we must dabble in for the people to engage in representative rule (voting for public officials) and to have some guarantee that the mechanisms for preserving liberty will continue to function. For these reasons, Jefferson declared at his inaugural that "we are all federalists, we are all republicans," and a similar statement about the names of our modern parties would express the values of American government.
