If I don't want other people, politicians, bureaucrats, to control my life, that means I "hate" them. Otherwise I'd be good with them making my decisions for me. Got it. Got any more tidbits to improve my life I'm writing these down

Are you actually retarded?
It would explain your problems with reading comprehension as well as your complete state of confusion.

You argue awful hard for government dependency, why does it bother you to stand behind your own points?

Let's face it: The creator of Islam, the Psycho MohahahahaMAD, according to Islam's own HADITHS, PERSONALLY beheaded ~ 20 of his prisoners who rejected his Islam thus making Psycho MohahahahahaMAD the model for the ISIS TERRORIST maniacs.......so, the followers of this Psycho MohahahaMAD, i.e., the Muslimes whether directly, or indirectly, are the cause for Islamic Terrorism.

Having read the irrefutable facts above, any one STILL defending Islam, the religion created by the Psycho MohahahahahaMAD, the model for the ISIS TERRORIST maniacs, is either a f-ing muslime, or insane.

The hadiths, as far as I know, were collected by others years and years after the death of the Prophet. Since you hate Islam so ignorantly, what do you plan - gas ovens? You'll have to improve the rail system to take the numbers, kid.

Really then why did you oppose democracy when every state voted to keep marriage between a man and a woman? Even California?

In a Constitutional Democracy, the majority does not always get everything they want. That's the biggest point of having a Constitution, its the limits on what the majority can do to a minority.

Absolutely not, I agree with

Thomas Jefferson, "Democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where 51% of the people may take away the rights of the other 49%."

Ben Franklin: ""Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!"

John Adams: "There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide"

Karl Marx: “Democracy is the road to socialism.”

Edmunde Burke: “In a democracy, the majority of the citizens is capable of exercising the most cruel oppressions upon the minority”
 
AP NEWS --- Trump At Center Stage, But Cruz In Spotlight At GOP Debate.

RP NEWS --- This is the moment we supporters of Ted Cruz have been waiting for. Trump is center stage by virtue of 'two' percentages points. Ted Cruz has dramatically come from near the bottom of the candidate list to a virtual dead heat with Trump - and the momentum is with Ted Cruz! Tonight millions of Americans will be taking a first look at Cruz - and will without doubt be shocked to learn that he is so knowledgeable, so inspiring, so down-to-earth, so ELECTABLE! Thank you Senator Cruz for giving us a path out of this morass that Obama and his kind have dumped onto the greatest Country on Earth.

Editor's note: We have temporarily suspended any semblance of fair reporting in an effort to encourage YOU to take a good look at Senator Cruz through your own eyes - and to listen to him with your own ears.
 
Evince: You left out the key word "Constitutional" democracy. Plenty of despots and tyrants have set up a 'democracy' which was nothing more than a front for corrupt and murderous regimes. These uncontrolled, unconstitutional democracies being soon replaced by another so-called 'democracy'. The 'Constitution is what makes this Country different from the banana republics or European socialist 'democracies'. It's ALL about the Constitution.

Dammit, I was just about to post how nice it was that everyone seemed to be ignoring Raptor/gomer's repetitive insane ramblings and then you go and respond.

Maybe they should be relocated to Wales.
 
Actually, it was a very good and well written article......opinion?, Yes....but with with a lot of undeniable facts to support that opinion.....

I didn't get the notion that he was telling us 'what the world thinks" but what he thinks.


Obama's worldview of ISIS is his problem, nobody else's .....but it could very evolve into a problem for the rest of the world as ISIS itself already is.....

Don't confuse ISIS, with Obama's view of ISIS, they are two different issues.

We were not founded as a democracy. We were founded as a republic. Do you understand why the distinction is important?

Sorry but I must take issue with the claim that small New England towns are not true forms if democracy merely because the majority is bounded by state or national constitutions.
The town meeting form of government is pure and effective as the device they were based upon; the Mayflower Compact. Limitations of superior government assemblies do not detract from the nature of the lesser government though they may overule said government.
The posit is absurd both at face value and in reality.

In theory practice is the same as theory. In practice it us not.
I have availed myself of the benefits of direct democracy
my entire life.
A perfect example is the old adage; One cannot fight City Hall.
While this is likely true in an administrative city government it is completely untrue in a direct democracy.
Note that I am not resisting the notion that the USA is in fact a republic, it is indeeda representative republic and Desh seems to have a hard time distinguishing this "fact".
My intent is merely to clarify what I consider to be an incorrect statement by the author.
