I just happened to be reading some news bits and what not and I stumbled upon this quote. It is PERFECT for what I've been explaining to people this time, and now, I'd like to share it with you :-)

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship."

That was written by historian Alexander Tyler. Did he say this today? Nope. He wrote these words over 100 yrs ago. Was he talking about America? Nope. He was talking about the former Athenian Republic. You see, people back then didn't call America a democracy (because it isn't.) they called it a republic. This quote goes along with the ideals of democracy and welfare distribution through socialism.

Just thought I'd share it with the bed wetting liberals. ;-)

Some of you still think America's a
democracy. Lemme break it down for
ya...

* Democracy:  Three wolves and a sheep
vote on the dinner menu.
* Democratically Elected Republic: Three
wolves and 2 sheep vote on which sheep's
for dinner. 
* Constitutional Republic: The eating of
mutton is forbidden by law, and the
sheep are armed.

The United States is a CONSTITUTIONAL
REPUBLIC. Not a democracy.
