"Your rights end where mine begin"

[Master PO]

The only way boomstick lovers know how to oppose a party that beat them in fair elections, is to threaten gunplay.

Pssst: democracy doesn't function when there are armed militia on the streets. So stop pretending you care about democracy or the Constitution. You just want to get your own way, and can't do it in fair elections.

when i discovered how evil democracy was........i then always speak out against it.

democracy is the most vile form of government- james madison

Irrelevant. We're talking about the Constitution, not your opinion of those that oppose you ideologically.

Pssst: democracy doesn't function when there are armed militia on the streets.

Wrong. and Pssst: Democracy only comes into being through the action of armed militia.

So stop pretending you care about democracy or the Constitution. You just want to get your own way, and can't do it in fair elections.

That's stupid. I hope you don't actually believe that nonsense.

Pssst: democracies are perfectly capable of acting in a tyrannical manner. Democracy doesn't equate to respect for individual rights.

Correct.
and the USA is not a democracy. In fact, no modern nation of any size is a democracy. The world is full of republics, however, in which the leaders are elected democratically and are supposedly answerable to the people who elected them.

and, it is a terrible form of government, one subject to corruption, too much power in too few hands, rule by elite, just a terrible form of government. It's just better than any other form of government human beings have so far been able to invent.

What a shame it is that we are no longer operating by the terms of our form of government, and instead operate under terms more reflective of democracy, with the ugly results also reflecting that democracy.

No, they really aren't. It's just a rightwing meme you guys use to promote your own special interest and shilling for the rich.

Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.

Madison, Federalist #10, 1787
​

Right there, in the second sentence, in blue, Madison is describing what we know today as "Progressivism" -- written 226 years ago, decades before Marx put pen to paper!

There was even then nothing novel, nor "forward-looking" to the "progressive" ideology, just the age-old demonstration of mankind's less than admirable traits of sloth, envy, and abuse of force.

And everything about this Progressive ideology is entirely incompatible with, and hostile to, this country's principles, and Madison recognized this too.
