text: In reply to message66741: Another example of liberal lunacy. If we were a democracy, then the mob would rule--the simple majority would hold sway. Whatever 51% says, goes. Yet we are quite literally being held hostage by the minorities, e.g., the subset among the 16% or so of Blacks that play the race card and who are pandered to despite incredibly undersocialized, if not overtly criminal, behavior; the other than heterosexuals, i.e., the XYZs including the 1 in 200-300 laying claim to being transgender, etc. It's precisely because we are a representative REPUBLIC that mob rule is not the case. But we now have a system that is so corrupted, so far removed from what was intended by the founding fathers that it's really quite unrecognizable from just a few short years ago.
