John Birch Society - Overview of America - Part 2

Part 3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPr0ujS2kyc

The United States is not a Democracy it is a Republic!

James Madison (father of the Constitution) wrote in the Federalist Papers, "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 sort in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths".

Alexander Hamilton said, "We are a Republican government. Real liberty is never found in despotism or in the extremes of democracy".

Samuel Adams (signer of the Declaration of Independence said, "Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself".

The founders knew that the democracy of the early Greeks produced some of the wildest excesses of government imaginable.

The Democrats in Congress (and currently the White House) are trying their hardest to convince Americans that we are a Democracy. The only way to achieve their 2 class system is to do just that. You'll have the servers and the served. They required a "dumbed down electorate" and it begins with withholding valuable information regarding our history.
You've heard the adage "people who don't learn from history, are doomed to repeat it", well where the Romans are concerned, our democrats are trying their HARDEST to repeat it.

Watch this excellent video and see if you don't see today's government hidden in Roman history.

Our people, had better learn the difference soon, or it will be too late!

John McManus narrates a moving tribute to America and discusses the history of what makes America great and how only we, as informed citizens, can keep the timeless concepts of Americanism alive in our Constitutional Republic.

Part 2 defines the difference between a Republic and a democracy and where each falls within a political spectrum.

@WorshipInTruth i'm not on farcebook..dont want to be, i just get sick of all this reds under bed nonsense, last time i replied i was ranted at by a loon who could 'prove' that rock music was deliberate satan worship...set up by the KGB using the 'protocols of zion' handbook...thats when i gave up reading such tripe..

@cottonrun1 You do realize that even "catch phrases" have meaning behind them right? "Social Justice" is a socialistic-communist philosophy (originating with the jesuits) which proposes that collective interest in obtaining "social justice" (a term which defines itself) outweighs the rights of the individual. If you do not see how American government has impeded against individual rights than you are either stupid, willfully ignorant, or a force of totalitarianism.

[cottonrun1]

@WorshipInTruth Ok... (1)"social justice" (2)"welfare of the people" (3)" abuses of American government" catch phrases in some areas im assuming. A definition of the three would better help me to respond to those questions. Im sure they mean differant things to differant people. What do they mean to you?

@cottonrun1 Adams did unfortunately manage to ruin his legacy through several infamous acts but to suggest that he was anything but an American patriot is utter foolishness. The most "conservative" forefather? The term "conservative" does not even make sense when applied to that situation, in those times Adams would have been considered an arch-liberal, you really need to do your homework, to blame Adams for the war of 1812 is also utter foolishness.

[cottonrun1]

"Jefferson lives!" -Adams(on his deathbed) ... As a defender of the British troops involved in the "Boston massacre" and the most conservative fore-father advocating contiued ties with the British Crown concievably enabled the "war of 1812". The British never accepted the terms of surrender and it took fast diplomatic foot-work to keep them on the sidelines during our Civil War. Adams tried to staddle the fence and his legacy is not so good.

@cottonrun1 Because individuals do not agree is the whole reason we are to have a REPUBLIC and not a democracy (rule of the ignorant masses). LEX REX!!!

[WorshipInTruth]

@cottonrun1 You find me two individuals who agree completely and entirely on every issue, there is no such thing. The founding fathers were very much in-tune with each other and they would unanimously disagree with the current abuses of American government. If you believe that the government has the right to enforce itself over others in the name of "social justice" or the "welfare of the people", then you are nothing but an old school socialist and we disagree entirely.

[WorshipInTruth]

@cottonrun1 If you view the current situation as Adams vs Jefferson you are clearly very ignorant, neither Adams nor Jefferson would agree with the current state of affairs and they were actually very friendly towards each others, the private correspondences betweem Adams and Jefferson are some of the more interesting things I have ever read and they both (at least openly) opposed the forces which I fight against (jesuitism, european authoritarianism and the like).

[WorshipInTruth]

@cottonrun1 I do very much like Adams but of course he took certain "liberties" to silence his opponents that I would say are contradictory to who he really was. You should know that I consider myself a "Jeffersonian Democrat" and the JBS are very Jeffersonian themselves (at least in rhetoric). I do not much like Jefferson as an individual but I certainly side with him over the Federalists (or more specifically I find myself stuck inbetween Jefferson and the Federalists).

[cottonrun1]

@WorshipInTruth You favor Adams, I suppose. However, you must understand that when you evoke our Fore- Fathers... they themselves were not in agreement. There was never a great and wonderful time when everyone was holding hands and singing camp song.
