This is an interesting story.

This is why the right wing in this nation is doing everything they can to suppress the votes of anyone that might disagree with their European christian world view. For the right wing, a republic where only people like them get to vote, is the best system. A democracy where everyone gets to vote, even those that disagree with you, is a system that must be prevented at all costs. This election of a Muslim Brotherhood leader is totally predictable. To the right wing oppression is the only and best response.

Just as the right wing view is that a family is best if run by a dictator, so they think that countries are best if run by dictators. the right wing here seems to believe that democracy equals mob rule. It would have been better to have a dictator that likes us, than a democracy that may not like us. I think this proves that the right wing posters here are not interested in freedom but only interested in ensuring the white christian world views are forced on everyone else in the world.

Interesting. So, who should vote in a republic?

Reading the posts here it is clear that the right wing will accept democracy only if it yields a result that benefits them. If democracy yields a result that does not benefit the right wing of the USA they will argue for dictatorship. The founding fathers are rolling in their graves.

I feel the same way if Santorum would be elected.

Frosty, I am a liberal and I want individuality and freedom. Religion wants neither. Religion wants conformity and discipline. Religion is the anti-freedom. But you make a good point about a republic vs. a democracy. Are you saying that the founding fathers wanted to ensure that only white Christians held power?

No, just like the religious right here in the hates giving up power, the religious fundamentalists in Israel and the world over hate giving up power. They will not go quietly into the night. But, the founding fathers believed that enlightenment would break that cycle. I pray the Internet and other democratic information sources will finally break the grip religious fundamentalist have held on power since the beginning of time.

Bibleman. BS. That is what you think Obama wanted because it fits your racist frame of reference. But you don't know that. Obama has never said he wanted this. In fact, he has said he did not want it. But, facts don't matter to you.

Yes, democracy can result in results people don't like. Like Obama.
