CdnFox Posted January 14 Report Posted January 14 Straight democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. A constitutional representative democracy is usually a good balance between personal rights and freedoms and the tyranny of the majority while still allowing for a reasonably strong level of input from the citizens and the ability to change gov'ts without having a messy revolution. 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

It's amazing that a document written over 200 years ago can still keep the democrat wolves in the wild. Our forefathers were inspired. 1 Quote

That's right, robomarx. The problem is that the word "Republic" never escapes your corrupt, stupid faces. We all know that when you woketards cry or talk about "democracy" what you're really saying is that you want our Republic wiped off the face of the Earth. It's one reason why the old pedophile and word salad opened the borders to illegal aliens. Edited January 15 by Deluge Quote

I just EDUCATED you on the meaning of Republic and all you can do make lame guesses about what other people meant. You're off the rails on crazy train with NO EVIDENCE as USUAL. Quote

I'm sorry, dumbass, but facts are facts: YOU want full blown socialism. You're not going to get it, of course, but you're certainly free to continue spewing your propaganda. We do live in a free country, after all. Quote

"On his first day as president, Joe Biden issued an “Executive Order on Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities.” Mr. Biden’s cabinet nominees must now explain whether this commitment to “equity” means they intend to abolish “equal treatment under law.” Their answers are a confused mess. Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton raised the question explicitly in confirmation hearings. Attorney General-designate Merrick Garland responded: “I think discrimination is morally wrong. Absolutely.” Marcia Fudge, slated to run Housing and Urban Development, gave a much different answer. “Just to be clear,” Mr. Cotton asked, “it sounds like racial equity means treating people differently based on their race. Is that correct?” Ms. Fudge’s responded: “Not based on race, but it could be based on economics, it could be based on the history of discrimination that has existed for a long time.” Ms. Fudge’s candid response tracks that of Kamala Harris’s tweet and video, posted before the election and viewed 6.4 million times: “There’s a big difference between equality and equity.” Ms. Harris and Ms. Fudge are right. There is a big difference. It’s the difference between equal treatment and equal outcomes. Equality means equal treatment, unbiased competition and impartially judged outcomes. Equity means equal outcomes, achieved if necessary by unequal treatment, biased competition and preferential judging." https://www.the-red-line.com/2021/03/05/equity-is-socialism-by-another-name Now it's your turn, comrade, where do you stand on equity?

As long as you're the one who gets to decide what's "fair", and "impartial' just means nobody's allowed to disagree with you Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
