We are not a democracy. We are a Republic. A democracy would be a tyranny of the majority, as you are saying when you say, ” a world run by nothing but conservatives.”
Please check out this site about the difference. Most people dont understand that there is a difference. It is a big problem that is ruining our country, We are so turned off by the Republicans that people are begging the Democrats to save us.
The Republicans are already big government, big brother. The solution to our problem is not MORE GOVERNMENT!!!
Ill tell you what we need to do. Watch John Adams on HBO on Demand, then watch Ron Paul speeches on Youtube. I know some people think Ron Paul is crazy, but you need to here his whole speeches on youtube, and actually listen to what he is saying, I think we might remember what principles this country was founded on. Sure, we might have to take a few steps back first. Would it really be that bad? We are in enough debt as it is, and when the baby boomers retire and we get that $52 TRILLION bill for SS, Medicare, and medicaid, we will surely be forced to take a wholllllllle bunch of steps back.
I do not know much about Jimmy Carter. I hear he was a terrible President. However, he did say this,” We must face the prospect of changing our basic ways of living. This change will either be made on our own initiative in a planned way, or be forced on us with chaos and suffering by the inexorable laws of nature.”
