Democrocy is fleeting, the republic is forever.

I think at this time of national devision and controversy, it is more important than ever to clarify something fundamentaly important to this country and the preservation of it. All to often people toss around the term democrocy fast and loose when describing the united states. True democrocy is not even intended as a form of national goverment in any scenario where it can last for long. I fear an out right democrocy. Democrocy was once describes as "2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner" What we are is a constitutional republic. At around the late 1780's, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor spells this out pretty well: " [i]'A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence: 1. From bondage to spiritual faith 2. From spiritual faith to great courage 3. From courage to liberty 4. From liberty to abundance 5. From abundance to complacency 6. From complacency to apathy 7. From apathy to dependence 8. From dependence back into bondage [/i]" By my figuring and observations, we are at about step 7. A true protected Republic of free statesshould last forever, and guarantee certain inalienable rights to all it's citizens. Unfortunately, over the years, our Constitution has been twisted and circumvented in the name of security and "democrocy" has put our republic in peril. Acts of corruption are turning our republic into a democracy that is bound to fail.
