Absolutely correct

I’m a conservative or a “right wing extremist” as characterized by some in our government. I’m not quite as “right wing” as the John Birch society, but in this instance, I agree with them one hundred percent…
This IS a republic and not a democracy, regardless of the propaganda you may have been fed in school or by the major media. And we really should keep it that way, or at least return it to that ideal.

 | This federal government is currently using bailout money to intimidate, and to payoff our private corporations, and by its use of these improper, and private backdoor coercions, they have effectively voted to dissolve the people, and elect another.
Our people must remember that this is imperatively a sovereign republic, and that it is the right, and the duty, of this represenitive republic, to check and to restrain this federal government.
Our State legislators must be made to realize how important it is that they no longer neglect their Constitutional right to communicate among themselves, to convene, and to structure, in positive ways, plans of cohesive opposition. |

 | The current scene is de jure republic; de facto democracy. It is still within the hands of citizens to be able to "return it to that ideal [republic]" by peaceful means. Barely. But after four years--or even two--of blatant, open, MASSIVE disregard for the rule of law and concerted effort to remold the US as a banana "republic" we may not have a peaceful means to return to anything close to the Founders' ideal. |
T F Stern responded with:
 | The problem with that is Republic sounds a lot like Republican, which is a bad word among Progressives. Let's continue to re-write history; the constitution and bill of rights could be called, let's see, something flexible, how about citizen's contract with government in progress. |
JMB responded with:
| David - If you really believe that there is some time left, maybe you and others could be of some help on this 10th amendment blog that I have found.
