As their idiotic "tea party" protests made abundantly clear, Republicans firmly believe that "tyranny" is defined as "losing a fair and open democratic election." Of course, having the guy they voted for make torture legal, proudly break laws and illegally wiretap people, lock up anyone including American citizens without any legal process or charges, and so on - that's not "tyrrany" because it's the guy they voted for, get it?
No, for Republicans, "democracy" means they get to win elections regardless of how people "vote." "Supporting the Constitution" means their guy not supporting it. "Shredding the Constitution" means the other guy supporting it. "Supporting the President" means supporting the President they voted for and calling the guy they didn't' vote for Hitler and a Socialist. "Patriotism" means anyone who doesn't agree with their guy must leave the country, but when it's someone else they immediately want to secede or have a revolution.
I think it's honestly time to start sterilizing these people.
Democracy does = tyranny.
ReplyDeleteAlbeit a different form of tyranny than were used to seeing on the tv.
Democracy means that majority rules, well what they don't tell you is that the minority looses.
Democracies give the many the privilege of taking away the rights of the few. Which is why our founding fathers intended on us being a republic, a representative form of government where the sovereignty of EVERY individual is kept, even if thousands stand against him. I believe Thomas Jefferson said something like it's letting the 51% take away the rights of the 49%.
Yes yes its' true and a shame that they have such heavy chips on their shoulders that they have lost the notion of dialogue. While democrats are willing to look at the global picture and see both sides, they are always going to be crushed by self-righteous tea baggers who can only see things black or white.
