Saw this on the Daily Caller site.  It definitely rings true.

Memo To Protesters: You Wouldn’t Like What Democracy Looks Like

8:54 PM 12/08/2014

For the second weekend in a row, the District was racked by random protests in response to the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown at the hands of police. A “die-in” was held at Union Station.

Today another march is scheduled from Dupont Circle to the White House, which is expected to cause major traffic delays and more “rolling street closures.”

Al Sharpton has planned another march for next weekend in D.C., which Eric Garner’s family is expected to attend. Sharpton says that will be the moment the protests go from “moment to movement.”

As ever, a favorite slogan of the protesters has been, “this is what democracy looks like!” which they chanted as they shut down a major intersection in Chinatown last night.

In the sense that democracy is mob rule, they’re not wrong. But the notion that they represent the will of the majority is belied by the thousands of commuters they’ve frustrated and inconvenienced. Protesters ought to be a lot more skeptical of the fickle beast that is democracy.

We've seen this movie before--in the 60s and 70s.  The rest of the piece is here:

That's why we are a republic and not a democracy

The libs like these protesters have chipped away at our republic for decades.
It's very close to being the mob that Jefferson warned about.

There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

Democracy: The majority rules.
Republic: The 1% can force their agenda on the majority.

A little blunt, I know, but isn't that the way it has been the last few years?

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

A democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on whats for dinner. A republic is a well armed sheep contesting the vote.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."


~ Dr. William Pierce
