Have You Ever Wondered Why Deep State Actors and Media Repeaters Use the Word “Democracy” Instead Of “Constitutional Republic”?

By Matthew Burke • Nov. 22, 2022

I believe this is from the Dan Smoot Report from the 1960s:

“The ideal of a constitutional republic is individual liberty. In this century, great strides have been made toward the goal of subverting our republic, and transforming it into a democracy. The foremost tactic of the subverters is subversion of “language” — by calling America a democracy, until people thoughtlessly accept the term, and use the term. Totalitarians have obscured the real meanings and principles of American government.” ~ Dan Smoot 

Notice that Benjamin Franklin did NOT say “a democracy if you can keep it”. He said, famously, “a REPUBLIC if you can keep it“.

Notice the song is NOT called “Battle Hymn of the Democracy”. It’s called “Battle Hymn of the REPUBLIC”.

Embarrassingly, many Republicans, even some good ones, fall into the trap of calling the United States a “democracy.” They should immediately stop.

Language matters and we should not allow the evil left to twist it without opposition.

Because it's lazy short-hand for the fact that, however it works mechanically, the U.S. government is one of the people, by the people, and for the people, and the people play a fundamental role in determining their leadership through elections.

And, to be perfectly honest, people who can't see the laziness for the trees, and dogmatically assert (it's a republic, not a democracy) every time someone calls the U.S. a democracy, regardless of context, are silly angels-on-the-head-of-a-pin pedants who set themselves back every time they do it.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on the lunch menu.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
