The problem as I see it is this: The Demoncraps are ALWAYS gonna pander to the illegals, ALWAYS! They know
that people who come from authoritarian countries tend to vote for them.
illegal aliens can't vote.

Are you saying they can't vote or they don't vote, big difference...they can't vote, but in fact many do vote....illegal aliens can't vote.
I would postulate that the government does in fact operate in a philosophical vacuumSolutions that dont involve confronting the beast and population statistics are solutions that will be successful in a philosophical vacuum.
As MH sated, it was roughly 3% of the population that carried out the revolution. There were a lot more who were opposed. The vast majority was apathetic; neither the crown nor a new government would really have any effect on their lives.I need to find some scholarly research about both: how many people actively carried out/supported the Revolution and who could vote at the beginning of the country. Additionally I need to read up on the intent of the founders about the level of democracy they intended on. I think we are past that.
3%...
As another old guy, I totally agree with this statement. I have lived in Austin for nearly 30 years and I have voted against every bond election we have had.Most seniors(ones I know) vote against any new tax the folks who vote for bonds are normally liberals and those living in apartments along with low income people who never pay taxes except sales.
Check it out BC.
An interesting article covering voting practices and a little insight in to the opinions of a couple of founding fathers during the colonial and revolutionary periods.

I guess I missed that part....
Yeah, that's quite the conclusion you've drawn.
I'll get back to you when I get done watching YouTube and can go through that post piece by piece.
I work in auto parts, and about 15 years ago, an hispanic lady, probably in her early
fifties, was waiting for her part, and asked me if I spoke spanish. I laughed and said
"probably just enough to get me into trouble" She didnt see any humor in that, and
told me in no uncertain terms that "you whites stole this land from the mexicans, and we
are gonna take it back, without ever firing a shot!" By god, I think that woman was
correct, and we are allowing it to happen! I did tell her "lady, we didnt steal it from you,
we kicked your ass and took it!" She didnt like that, but by that time, I was ready to
tell her to get her fat butt out, and not to come back.
Eh. Not just some conclusion ive drawn. Its history. I said it is what the reformers envisioned, it was taken and applied differently in different countries. Cult of Reason, Reign of Terror French Revolution style...which went real quickly from monarchy to anarchy to dictatorship (with some democracy in there somewhere) to our US version which was envisioned differently in different states even. Ah...federalism.
This idea that man is good and can exercise that goodness through democracy is false. Its never worked out and it is currently failing us as well in the US in 2014.
^ Of course a Catholic would say this.
Is it not true? lol
Point being, it was more about freedom than religious conviction.
Not just that, but to also fight for it.So we would need 10 million or so folks to overly agree on something?
