Our "Founding Fathers went to great lengths to ensure that we were a REPUBLIC and not a DEMOCRACY. In fact, the word democracy does not appear in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or any other of our founding documents."

“In Federalist Paper No. 10, James Madison wanted to prevent rule by majority faction, saying, “Measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.”
John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”
Edmund Randolph said, “That in tracing these evils to their origin, every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy.”
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”
The Founders expressed contempt for the tyranny of majority rule, and throughout our Constitution, they placed impediments to that tyranny. Two houses of Congress pose one obstacle to majority rule. That is, 51 senators can block the wishes of 435 representatives and 49 senators.”
First it was the KKK, then Jim Crow, and now the Democrats have another way to disenfranchise southern Blacks and rural whites--destroy the Electoral College so the only votes that matter are the major metropolitan areas on the west coast and east coast. Do you really think Mississippi or Alabama or Idaho or Wyoming will ever see a candidate for President if Democrats are successful in their diabolical scheme?
