Jag har diskuterat ämnet med amerikaner och inte riktigt fattat vad dom menar med att republik skulle vara en motsats till demokrati när vi menar att något annat med begreppen, följande kanske lämnar någon upplysning av deras synsätt....

Our military training manuals used to contain the correct definitions of Democracy and Republic. The following comes from Training Manual No. 2000-25 published by the War Department, November 30, 1928.

DEMOCRACY:

A government of the masses.
Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of "direct" expression.
Results in mobocracy.
Attitude toward property is communistic--negating property rights.
Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether is be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences.
Results in demogogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.

REPUBLIC:

Authority is derived through the election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them.
Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences.
A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass.
Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy.
Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress.
Is the "standard form" of government throughout the world.

The manuals containing these definitions were ordered destroyed without explanation about the same time that President Franklin D. Roosevelt made private ownership of our lawful money (US Minted Gold Coins) illegal. Shortly after the people turned in their $20 gold coins, the price was increased from $20 per ounce to $35 per ounce. Almost overnight F.D.R., the most popular president this century (elected 4 times) looted almost half of this nation's wealth, while convincing the people that it was for their own good. Many of F.D.R.'s policies were suggested by his right hand man, Harry Hopkins, who said,

"Tax and Tax, Spend and Spend, Elect and Elect, because the people are too damn dumb to know the difference".

I USA brukar dom säga att en demokrati är en kamp mellan får och varg om vem som ska få festa på oss medborgare.. Om man tittar noga på hur vårat politiska maktspel fungerar så stämmer detta enligt mig, demokratin är ett skämt, för den fungerar inte, polititikerna som vi har valt gör inte det som medborgarna vill, dom skiter fullständigt i våra åsikter och grundar sina beslut på tankesmedjors och affärsintressens åsikter och förslag.

USA liknar ju tyvärr mer en demokrati idag, men dom har ju haft en konstitutionell republik men det var ett bra tag sedan...

Hela tanken med en dåligt fungerande demokrati är väl att vi ska bli erbjudna en global regering med argumentet att det inte kan bli sämre.. Folk kommer att falla även för detta förslag, men det måste nog till en Alien agenda först innan alla på jorden känner sig tillräckligt hotade för att gå med på nåt sånt, eller ett 3:e världskrig, vilket kanske ligger närmare till hands..

FN skapades ju efter ett världskrig, så kommer nog även en världsregering att skapas..

Quote: Jepp och det vi ser är ju bara en urholkning av begreppen...ingenting är längre som förut...trallallalalala

"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 short in their lives as they have been violent in their death."
~ James Madison, 4th President of the United States

"Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."
~ John Adams, 2nd President of the United States

"Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos."
~ John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, 1801-1835

"If men, through fear, fraud, or mistake, should in terms renounce or
give up any natural right, the eternal law of reason and the grand end of society would absolutely vacate such renunciation. The right to
freedom being the gift of Almighty God, it is not in the power of man
to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave."
~ Samuel Adams
