What Democracy? This is a Republic. Vote for the moral man.

This subject became a pet peeve since taking an American Government class in college which had as one of the text books "Essay's on American Democracy". The title of the book is one of the problems because this is to be a Republic but the professor never once mentioned that. The text book was correct in that it explained why a democracy can not work. Having already learned what a democracy was and its failures while in early high-school it was troubling that the text book was basically teaching a disrespect for our country. And this during the Vietnam war when patriotism came hard for many college students.

This web site has potential to help people realize what the problem is with our political system and opens a way for them to work at restoring our Republic. I invite you to share it and the related information.

What Democracy?

This is a Republic. Look for the moral man.

WHAT DEMOCRACY?
Is a one page flier showing, from common documents, that our government was set up to be a Republic and not a Democracy as is commonly promoted. This flier shows the difference between a Representative of a Republic and a Representative of a Democracy and how a Representative of a Republic is chosen because he is looking to the common good through the use of moral reasoning. The Representative of a Democracy is, ideally, looking to provide "Me,me,me,Now,now,now" for his constituents. But in reality he is normally an amoral man interested in serving himself.
This message is to encourage voters to look for the moral man who has a chance of being a statesman.

Moral or Amoral ?

"Under a Representative Republic you are looking for the most moral man.

Under a Representative Democracy you are looking for an amoral man. That is, a man who would not have morals standing in the way of the majority's will."

What Democracy?

Democracy and Socialism are Siamese Twins

Democracy in Opperation Promotes Socialism

How can it be that a political system is not only related to but directly connected to a political-financial system? It is much the same as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde who were not only related but one and the same person. Democracy is the soft spoken, well-dressed side of this joined pair who prepares the way for the controlling, bully, Socialism which takes over industry in the name of the people (Democracy).

As we have seen in previous articles, a Democracy requires amoral men for its Representatives because a moral man will not give the majority what they want if it goes against morals. So a Democracy moves towards Socialism because the majority have demonstrated by their election of amoral men, that they stand for Democratic ideas which do not safeguard individual rights as opposed to the rule of law in a Republic. So the elected officials have no problems taking from the few to give to the many as that buys more votes. And after all isn't it the elected officials duty in a Democracy to do as the majority wants?

As a result Mr. Democracy prepares the way and promotes his Siamese twin, Mr. Socialism. Eventually Mr. Socialism the controlling bully takes control and sits on Mr. Democracy while installing someone else in control who is more directly supportive of Mr. Socialism.

Don't Curse the Darkness Flip the Switch

This country is in such peril that it is recognized universally, yet the reason for that peril is not understood because of the darkness of men's minds. Because of that darkness of mind, rather than electing statesmen, the voter is putting into office politicians who are interested in serving themselves rather than doing what is right. Our amoral representatives are running around like rats on a sinking ship. They have no clue as to what is going on and what needs to be done.

The way back to a Republic is, very simply, through understanding. The misunderstanding of the purpose of voting is what destroys a Republic and builds a Democracy. To reverse the destruction and rebuild the Republic the voter needs to understand that his duty is to do what is right.

Once the elected official understands that his duty is to do that which is right he becomes a Representative of a Republic and the switch has been flipped. The light bulb, of understanding, has gone on.

It's Back to Basics

The promoters of Democratic ideals have taken the bit in their teeth and are running away with things. One can see the consequences of such action and fret but the only way to save the Republic from Socialism is for people to return to their roots. The family is the basis of society and the family is only strong when it is strong in faith and morals. We have to return to the basics then we can go forth and conquer.

There is a difference between immoral and amoral.

The immoral man understands right and wrong and feels remorse and repentance when he does wrong.

The amoral man has somehow confused himself as to right and wrong and has no remorse or repentance when he does wrong.

The amoral man is usually amoral because he is a liar.

The ultimate punishment of the liar is that he believes his own lie. Then he has no basis for making proper decisions.

What Difference Does it Make? Republic or Democracy?

What's the Beef?

What Difference Does it Make? Republic or Democracy?
The difference is in the effect of what is brought about by the elected official. If the people voting believe this is a Republic they will vote for men whom they judge will do the best job of upholding the law which includes the moral law.
A MR. Republic would be like a man serving on a jury who is disinterested in himself and is interested in filling the job.
Mr. Democracy is the man elected by those believing this is a Democracy and is intended to be a man who will look after the best interests of his constituents. This man will be more interested in himself and will work to promote himself. Mr. Democracy would be like a man serving a labor union.
The natural tendency is for a Republic to become a Democracy and then for the Democracy to become a Dictatorship.

A brief overview of all types of government!

The American form of Government

This is a well-produced video which explains, not only right-wing and left-wing types of government but also what the Founding Fathers had in mind and why they were intent on giving us not only a Republic but some safeguards so we can keep it.

British Benjamin Disraeli in 1850

"The world is weary of statesman whom democracy has degraded into politicians."

The Conservative Winds of Change are Blowing

Is the pendelim ready to swing the other way?

The American family is without authority and that disorder of our families has grown into our society and our government.

The winds of change are brought about by a core group who understands the problem and its solution. Once this group is in place (which I believe the elections show that this group is in place) then that group can educate the voter and be the driving force to make the winds of change blow stronger.

The so called moral majority normally does not get involved in politics as politics has a bad name due to the democratic actions which has changed our statesmen into politicians. With a little understanding of Republics and Democracies the moral majority can easily change the course of history.

Once the people understand the difference in Republics and Democracies they will work to elect statesman who will be moral. The bonus is that those men who have already been elected who believe and vote as though they are in a Democracy can be made to realize their duties to the Republic. At which time they would switch by their actions from being Representatives of a Democracy to being a Representative of a Republic.

Republican Party - Democratic Party

The Republican and Democratic Parties were formed some time after the founding of Our Republic. If they would have been formed at the time of the founding there would have most likely been some fireworks (and not the Fourth of July type). It was in 1840 that the Democratic Party was formed or rather named such. A couple of generations after the founding of the Republic and after the principles of Democracy had been into society.

Today both of the major parties function as if they stand for Democratic principles and against Our Republic.

You really need to read the who article on this one to understand what is being said.

So, What Should We Do?

The first step to solving any problem is to realize that you have a problem and then to understand what that problem is. Hopefully the resources of this web sight will help in establishing a better understanding of the issue of Republic and Democracy.
The next step is to work for the education of the citizens. The resources of this web sight can be used as links and copies can be sent to associates.
Timing is very critical in the present political and economic climate.
Of first importance is prayer because the battle is between good and evil and will not be won without God's help.

Books About Our Republic - The right book is a key to understanding.

While in college and majoring in political science, I took a class on American Government and one of the text books was "Essays on American Democracy". The book told why Democracies can't work. Not once did the professor ever acknowledge that this is a Republic. The book was right in that a Democracy cannot work. It's title was wrong because this is a Republic. The point: Buy the right book!
