Global Undemocratic Revolution
Submitted by Robert Fredericks on Sun, 2010-05-30 03:00
"This is the age of Leviathan Democracy. The bigger government grows, the more clueless citizens become. The contract between rulers and ruled is replaced by a blank check. Government becomes an elective dictatorship, and elections merely signify whose turn it is to trample the Constitution."

James has given us a note worthy definition of today's democratic government, "elective dictatorship".
However, his choice of words in this statement, "The ultimate threat to democracy’s survival may be the fact that many people simply do not value their own freedom," leaves something to be desired, IMO; it should have read, again IMO, "The ultimate threat to individual liberty is the fact that many people simply do not value their own freedom".
"Those who exchange liberty for security will soon find that they have neither." ~ Benjamin Franklin
