| Strengthening "our democracy" |
| 2011-02-25 |
| The community organizer who became president has launched a massive pre-reelection year campaign to assemble and train an army of new community organizers to carry Obama's "movement forward for years to come." Strengthening "our democracy" presumably has something to do with reelecting the revered leader in 2012. However, the Organizing for America recruiting message says nothing about politics or election campaigns and strangely talks in military terms of "a grassroots program that aims to put boots on the ground and help foster a new generation of leaders -- not just to help win elections but to strengthen our democracy in communities across the country." The same Obama campaign group was reported involved in fomenting and facilitating the ongoing Wisconsin protests against Gov. Scott Walker's budget plans. |

| #6 You know, I'm really starting to hate the word Democracy. Cause we aren't one. We're a republic. There IS a huge difference. It is fun to tease Liberals though, reminding them that we're not a democracy and not telling them what our actual form of government is til they are foaming at the mouth. Though such fun is hard to come by now....so far, I haven't met any liberals in the oilfields.:p |

| #5 The left considers Iran a 'democracy' because they hold elections. Never mind that all the canidates are pre-selected by the Mad Mullah's.... |

| #4 Mob rule is what they mean by "democracy", and they intend to control via the mob. Like Cuba. Thats why we are so very fortunate to have a republic as our truw form of government where the rights are reserved to individuals, not groups, despite the left's attempts and going to a collectivist group-based system. |

| #1 When the left refers to 'democracy' its in the context of People's Democratic Republics of the Soviet era. |
