Here’s another good tutorial clarifying that we are in fact a republic, not a democracy. It also uses the term “bread and circus”, which used to be a health food store in Amherst Mass. Those smelly hippies reeked of democracy.
Tool, you are aware that I linked to that video already in this thread, right? :P[/quote]
I wasn’t when I posted it, but in rereading the tghread realized it.

To make it up to you, here’s a link to a PDF of TM2000-25 (1928).
http://d.scribd.com/docs/2pjqar4f5o4c88gc441.pdf
See page 119 - 120 (pgs 46 - 47 of the PDF).
In 1933, orders from the FDR White House demanded that all copies of this manual be withdrawn from the Government Printing Office and the Army posts and destroyed.
Ha!
I’ve read the relevant passage before, and it bears repeating here. According to the US Government, democracy is:
“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.”
Thanks! I’ve been looking for the source of this gem for a while.
LOL!
I thought that this was an anti-landmine thread.

In a way. There be landmines in mobocracy.
