My people perish from a lack of knowledge.Hosea 4: 6 (KJV)
“A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.”
Thomas Jefferson
America was founded on the concept of a limited Democracy or ‘Constitutional Republic’ which is ruled by law, rather than a ‘Pure Democracy’ or mob rule by whatever Party that happens to be in power or control or the 'Majority of the Minute'.
A prime example of a 'Pure Democracy' and the 'Right to Choose' whatever the people want (mob rule) instead of the 'Rule of Law', would be a lynching.
Everyone involved in the Lynching has a vote – even the one being lynched, but the mob rules by majority and not by law - this would be described by Liberals as 'Fairness', because the 'People' made their choice by popular vote and Liberals would defend the 'Mob Rule choice'.
This is why Barack Obama and other 'Progressives' abhor, hate and detest the 'Rule of Law' or Constitutional Republic, rather than a Government operated by their whim or ideology based in 'Democracy' and their perception of what the People want.
