ELECTION DAY 2016: GET OUT AND VOTE – OUR DAY OFF

It‘s the 2016 election.   I am a huge political junkie, so I’m taking the day off.

A huge myth about America is that we are a democracy.   WE AREN’T.

Most people often mistakenly refer to our nation as the greatest
democracy on earth.  They are mistaken because we are not an absolute
democracy, but a constitutional republic. 
That is what makes our nation great, for if we were just a democracy,
we would be anything but great.




A pure unbridled democracy is a political system in which the
majority enjoys absolute power by means of democratic elections.  In an
unvarnished democracy, unrestrained by a constitution, the majority can
vote to impose tyranny on themselves and the minority opposition.  They
can vote to elect those who will infringe upon our inalienable God-given
rights.


 

Thus, a constitution that limited and divided the power of government
was necessary to preclude elected officials from imposing tyranny on
the people.  This is why they adopted a constitution with limited
