‘Media More Of A Threat To Democracy’ Than Trump

by Jason Cohen

An undecided Pennsylvania voter named Kim said she voted for Donald Trump because she perceives the media as a graver “threat to democracy.”

God Is Greater

by Aaron Warner

Though it may feel like it for many of us, who knows where we rank among the most uncertain times in human history?  Many civilizations have faced enormous levels of hostility and strife, our own as well during the Civil War, however the alarmist bells are clanging on both sides making essentially the same claim … Read more

When Trump Wins You’ll See What Dems Mean By ‘Democracy’ (Riots!)

by Steve MacDonald

Most of us know a thing or two about Democrats’ idea of “Democracy” because we’ve seen what the political left is, does, and means, but most Americans are not tuned in like that. Democracy is mob rule, and in the case of the left, it is either a minority pretending to be the majority through … Read more

Bureaucrats Worry Democracy Will Get In The Way Of Their Climate Agenda

by David Blackmon

I have frequently written over the last several years that the agenda of the climate-alarm lobby in the western world is not consistent with the maintenance of democratic forms of government. Governments maintained by free elections, the free flow of communications and other democratic institutions are not able to engage in the kinds of long-term … Read more

From Democracy to Dictatorship

by Steve MacDonald

Something we could learn from inter-war Europe is that democracy led to dictatorship. Put differently, the inability to make it work, or the deliberate undermining of its mechanisms, moved the people from a government at least principally designed to answer to the people into one where the people demanded a strong enough excuse to foment … Read more

The Democracy Democrats Can’t Shut Up About Isn’t Democracy at All

by Steve MacDonald

All this talk of Democracy got me thinking about what it means. The consensus among the center-right is that it represents mob rule. Fifty-plus-one pick the power brokers who may do whatever they please to everyone at their expense, with (presumably) 49.9 percent being less happy about it than the rest. Another common conception of … Read more

Smashing the Western Illusion of Democracy

by Finn Andreen

In these politically turbulent times, the “illusion of democracy is fading worldwide” as one pundit wrote recently. There is a growing sense in the West that “democracy” is not working well, but there is not yet a full and clear recognition of that fact. Michel Maffesoli, honorary professor at the Sorbonne in Paris, has been saying already for several … Read more

The Demorats ‘Democracy’ Is Showing

by Steve MacDonald

While it is not a hard and fast editorial rule, the unspoken ‘Grok policy when referring to the party of Democrats is to call it the Democrat party. They don’t like it, but that’s not why we do it. There is little to nothing Democratic about the party, and their obsession with the word democracy … Read more

Justice Gorsuch Tries To Explain Democracy to the Cheap Seats

by Steve MacDonald

Justice Neil Gorsuch just published a book, which confimred SCOUTS appointees are wont to do, but it comes with something they may not all want to do—interviews with the machine media. Justice Gorsuch sat for just such an undertaking with Major Garrett at CBS, who, instead of the “Sound of Music” softball questions (please tell me, … Read more

A Republic, If You Can Restore It!

by Op-Ed

There is a reason why the word democracy is not in the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, or any of the State Constitutions, yet appears in The Communist Manifesto. Democracy is a precursor of revolution, as precisely stated by G. K. Chesterton: “You can never have a revolution in order to establish a democracy. … Read more

America Has NOT Been A Democracy For At Least FIFTY (50) Years … But Just Keep Pretending, Bitter-Clingers

by Ed Mosca

I just cannot understand how anyone can believe that the 2024 election, like the elections preceding it, is NOT going to be rigged. For example, in a recent post on this blog: “The trial in New York City is backfiring on the Democrats.” In what universe?

American Democracy Died SIXTY (60) Years Ago

by Ed Mosca

The level of DENIAL on the Right in America is breathtaking and pathetic. It is undeniable that the 2020 election was RIGGED. Yet the bitter-clingers on the Right believe that somehow 2024 will be different … even as they watch the FakeNews (I’m writing this on March 20th) run with yet another BIG LIE, the “bloodbath” hoax.

How Did a Free People Become So Persuadable and Meek?

by Jim Bowman

While today’s political dynamics spotlight our need to clean house, today’s situation also offers the latest in a series of gradual steps which, similar to the movement of the clock’s hands, continue unnoticeable.

Night Cap: Democrat Dictionary – ‘Democracy’

by Steve MacDonald

The fun thing about the Democrat Dictionary, as infrequent as the installments are, is that no matter what the word is, it only ever means what Democrats think it means when they think it. The word Democracy is an excellent example of this.

Of What Exactly Is Each of Us Guilty?

by Kevin Scully

Can you imagine waking up to find out that you and over 500 other NH people have been tarred as Anti-Democratic Extremists by a former New Hampshire State Senator, Jeanne Dietsch, a former NH State Senator whose voting record was so radical she was rated a “Constitutional Threat” by the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance!

Is America On Life Support?

by Amil Imani

I have always been an ardent believer in democracy–The dictionary defines democracy as the rule of the people. Even at its best, “democracy is the worst form of government except for all the rest,” according to Winston Churchill. Is democracy a terrible form of government?

The Real Threat to Our Democracy

by Peter Lemiska

Democrat politicians endlessly warn us about the “threat to our democracy” posed by Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans. Of course, that claim is patently absurd on two fronts. First of all, as most Americans know, we live under a constitutional republic, not a democracy.

Weeding Out the Subverters of Democracy

by Kensley Vitoria

I have written before about the recent tendency of US Democrat Party members to act to subvert the idea of democracy in attempts to rile up citizens, cultivating and nurturing democracy in the process. Like stoking a fire, except it is not as simple as poking some embers with a stick to send up a shower of sparks.

How Will Democracy Die

by Ray Cardello

We have heard dozens of times in the last couple of years that one thing or another was going to destroy our Democracy. It started with Donald Trump, whose sheer existence was the ultimate threat to our Democracy.
