No need for a Constitutional Convention When It's Understood: "Republic - GOOD!! Democracy - BAD!!!"
http://www.devvy.com/pdf/larosa/larosa_democracy_or_republic...
People just don't understand the "nuts and bolts" of this issue because they don't understand that we're a Republic, not a frikken democracy! These are desperate times and they need to understand once and for all that: Republic - GOOD!!! Democracy - BAD!!!
"Tom Paine, that firebrand of the American Revolution, considered democracy the “vilest form of government”.
"In describing the purpose of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, Virginia delegate Edmund Randolph commented:
“The general object was to provide a cure for the evils under which the United States labored; that in tracing the origin, every man had found it (the origin of these evils) in the turbulence and follies of democracy.”
"38 years after the Declaration of Independence, John Adams warned:
"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy that did not commit suicide." And ...
"Although we hear the term “democracy” used constantly in reference to our form of government, the word does not appear in either the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution of the United States, our two fundamental documents. Indeed, Article IV, Section 4, of the Constitution 'guarantees to every state in this union a Republican form of government.'”
That is why the ORIGINAL Constitution was written - TO KEEP US FROM BEING THE "VILE" DEMOCRACY THAT IS IN THE MIDST OF COMMITTING SUICIDE TODAY! we don't need a new one!!
"John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court from 1801 to 1835 observed:
“Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos." Aren't we experiencing that "chaos" in this evil democracy!"
"In a democracy, the majority rules either directly, or through elected representatives or appointed officials, without the restraint embodied in a fixed body of law." As in a Republic where you do have a fixed rule of law. In a democracy "The law is whatever an official organ of government determines it is." And that's what pisses most people off today and why everything is a mess! "The laws are political or man-made, and reflect not truth and justice, but power."
"Government power is a prize to be won for the benefit of the winners at the expense of the losers." And guess who are the losers???
In a democracy, "Rights are relative and take the form of privileges granted through government licenses and permits, or simply permissions revocable at the whim of those in power." Whereby, "Government acts like a hammer!" OUCH! We're all feeling the pain!
If the following doesn't describe what is going on today to a "Tee", I don't know what does:
"Democracy concentrates power into the hands of the few organized and clever enough to manipulate the masses. It is characterized by a communistic attitude toward property and monopolistic enterprises. Government thus becomes an instrument for the redistribution of wealth as well as the security of the state. It is the rule of men, the dictatorship of the majority without regard to the consequences upon individuals or society."
However, “In a republic, government is an instrument solely for collective security in which the people are served rather than regulated, represented rather than ruled.
When the principles of republican government are followed, free markets spring up automatically followed by a growing middle class, abundance, harmony, a high degree of liberty, and ethical behavior. The emphasis is on the creation of wealth, not the accumulation of power as in a democracy."
"In a republic, the government has just enough power to carry out its proper functions, but is otherwise limited, inhibited and restricted."
"The essence of a republic is the rule of law, by which is meant the common or scientific law, which is certain and unchangeable, this law is discovered, not made, in that the tendency is to find the freedoms and restraints imposed by natural law, and base decisions upon them. (“Man cannot make principles, he can only discover them,” wrote Tom Paine.)"
"Power is decentralized, divided, and regulated by an elaborate system of checks and balances, with the ultimate check held by the people in the form of free and open elections (the ballot box), trial by (the jury box), and an armed citizenry (the cartridge box). The law is neutral. No one is exempt; everyone is equal before it. All are held fully accountable to an injured party."
What the original Con Con did was to give us a guide to keep us from the treachery that we are experiencing today! We don't need another con con because the first one can save us if only it were better and more easily understood!
All of the quotes are from eight (8) of the most powerful pages I've read in a long time that truly will make anyone who reads it CRAVE for the the Republic that our present Constitution provided for us over 200 years ago!
Read it and share it - it's powerful information that everyone can easily understand: (Probably will take most folks who read it about 20-30 mins.) http://www.devvy.com/pdf/...
