using Hagen.Frank.blog; - The Lie of the Democrats

Wednesday, January 02, 2008

I am not a Republican nor a Democrat. I believe both parties are fundamentally flawed. But I find it immensely amusing that the Democratic Party is a complete lie. We do not live in a Democracy, but a Republic! Think about it....

I believe that a Republic is a form of Democracy. In other words, we live in a Republic; therefore, we live in a Democracy.

Specifically, a Republic is, in the western context, a Representative Democracy as distinguished from a Direct Democracy, which is often mistakenly assumed to be the only form of "true" Democracy. But the mistake aside, Representative Democracy (that is to say, a Republic) is still a form of Democracy.

As is a Constitutional Monarchy, but that is not the point. The Democratic Party, by name, suggests a desire to move to a pure Democracy, which by their actions ironically, they certainly do not.
