DURBIN ON IRAQ: Debate Strengthens Democracy, Not the Enemy

[porcupine07]

The United States is NOT a democracy DO NOT BELIEVE THE LIE. They repeat the same thing over and over (like hitler) until you believe it. We are a REPUBLIC. Thomas Jefferson called Democracy a"tyranny of the majority, where 51% can vote away the rights and properrty of the other 49%" the founding fathers DESPISED democracy. Democracy is Mob Rule with no respect for rights or property, sound familiar? DESTROY DEMOCRACY, support the REPUBLIC.

[IIBounDByLighTII]

Thats why we have this little trick called minority rights idiot. You go ahead and destroy that which you live by.

If it was a tyranny of the majority we would be out of Iraq. Do some reaserch.

[porcupine07]

You, my friend are the one who needs to do some research. Notice I quoted a historical figure. Just because you have been brought up to be ignorant, doesn't mean the rest of us will shut up about it. Furthermore there are no such thing aS 'minority rights" those are actually privileges, and can be taken away, as all privileges can be. Rights are rights, it has nothing to do with what group you are in. read up man, you need a lot of help

[IIBounDByLighTII]

You dan't have to shutup. I respect your position. That said, anything is a privilege. Anything can be taken away, even in a republic. Even though Rome was a Republic, look at all the corrupt politians that existed.

Ever seen Star Wars? How the Republic fell? It fell for a war in which the poeple gave up all their rights in either a Democracy or a Republic. Either way, thats how it will end.

[porcupine07]

You're right, just having a republic isn't a magic shield against trouble. I'm simply trying to point out the inherent evil of Democracy. that doesnt mean I want to end voting, or strip anyone of anything. Think about it, in a Democracy 51% win, 49% lose. That's what we have today in our political system. They are actually right, they HAVE turned this into a Democracy, and it is unconstitutional.

[porcupine07]

US Constitution Aricle 4 Section 4: The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion... Not a Democracy

[porcupine07]

James Madison:

Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.

[IIBounDByLighTII]

This also goes for any form of government. Marxism, Republic, Socialism, Capitalism, Demnocracy. No matter what, even if this was a Republic, we would still rot. I think that at least a Democracy is faster in its political system.

Overall, I think you and I are basically on the same page.

the only authority america has on Iraq is just evil works from america.

[Minionuup]

Yawn...

[wsoxman]

Dick Durbin....Goof Ball Liberal. His slogan is "I never met an Illegal Alien that I didn't want to give tax dollars to."

This GOOF just had 3 Illegal Trespassers in the Capital building. This Liberal doesn't care about the hard working LEGAL Immigrants and taxpayers.

Illinois voters will vote this GOOF out of office come next Nov.

Durbin yet another Democrat that doesn't know what Amnesty means....or cares. They just want the votes and the cash from Big Business hiring the illegals.

[dailycrow]

Gunnyofthe world thinks his pecker is a police baton

[Demonstorm]

The only traitors are those lap-dog followers of Bush who think that actually speaking out against Bush Policy on Iraq is "unpatriotic." Bush is not a King. This is a DEMOCRACY dumbass. We the People rule, not Bush or the Rethuglicans. And 73% of the American public - according to almost every poll out there - want the war OVER and the troops home SAFE. All you assf**ks who continue to support the Torture President should move to a country with a monarchy, or a dictator. This is America beyotch.

[IIBounDByLighTII]

Great for you. Guess what? The Democrates promised that if they gained the majority in Congress, this war would end. Wow, they told the truth.

Nice speach. Why dont you and the majority DO SOMETHING about it then?

[girliecars]

[pokemon20035150]

[girliecars]

DICK NIGGER DURBIN

[greatbroad]

Read the P.N.A.C. document. Look where the permanent U.S. Bases are located (all along oil pipeline) and anyone can see, DEMOCRACY, per se, has NOTHING TO DO WITH the U.S. occupation. U.S. Oil wants M.E. Oil, period.

[TPAUSA]

Dick Durbin - A Real Patriot.
