This points out the obviousness that the US government is no longer bound by the tenets of what was called "democracy", a concept that is fundamentally at odds with the concept of "sovereignty".
The United States is not now nor has it ever been a "Democracy', Article IV Section 4 of the US Constitution states The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence.
Nowhere in the Constitution is the word "Democracy" ever mentioned. Switzerland, now there is a Democracy, the United State, not a Democracy. The founding Fathers considered Democracy as rule by the rabble. No matter how many times those morons in office call it a democracy it will not make it so. If the US were a democracy then the people as a whole could compel the government to withdraw our troops and bring them home but we can't so we are not a democracy.
When dealing with someone who is obviously an idiot, instead of wasting time trying to politely convince them that they are an idiot. My one and only reply "if" I choose to dignify their post with a response is as follows:
*Yawns* Replace user press the "any" key.
Any further response from them goes unanswered.
