Not to mention, as observed through history, demonocracies that go the route of "Anything Goes" like today...they fail epicly!!!...this is where the "mob" rules.

Answer, partially but a large part of it was the dumbing down of the citizens, the infliction of dependents upon the cities and the prevention of assimilation of some of our people.

Demonacracy, being a philosophy of total inclusion was promoted because those that promoted it were found wanting, found without conscience and found to be unwashed.

Unless you live in California, like me :|

States shall have their day under the sun!

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic..." :)

Democracy is another word for mob rule. While Democracy could work reasonably well in small societies it is cancerous to a large society because as Ben Franklin said "When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic."

When the Republic is gone you have tyranny.

Hello AJAshinoff,

Hello OA,

You beat me to it. :)

Its supposed to be a democratic Republic.

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.'

U.S. Constitution, ARTICLE IV, SECTION 4

Every time I hear the word democracy relating to American government I think "failure."
Democracy has always failed and it will always fail because it is a very flawed scheme for government that has always been manipulated to centralize power in a few while destroying the liberty of the people.
America was never intended to be a democracy.
Freedom is not free. People must continually resist expansion of government to stay free.
Americans have been complacent and have been brainwashed continually by sources biased toward statism and a large strong central government that treats the people as its inferiors and as its economic slaves. Every major media source is biased in this way. Virtually all public education is biased in this way. Neither of those primary sources should be trusted to tell the truth. They have been lying for generations and they will never stop because they have a vested interest in the expansion of government and the destruction of free markets and individual liberty.

The article quotes George Washington's description of American government as a "republican model of government".
It was not a republic, nor was it a democracy, not was it any combination of those two terms.
It was intended as a "republican form" of government as the article says.
