Carla Binion
For example, Rush Limbaugh repeatedly says the U. S. is a
republic instead of a democracy. He and other like-minded
media folks often remind us we do not have direct
democracy -- meaning, for example, the public does not
vote on every proposed piece of legislation. What Limbaugh
and his ilk leave out is the fact that America is a representative
democracy.

What Binion and most of America for that matter do NOT
realize is that America -- according to it's Constitution -- is
NOT a 'representative democracy' but a Constitutional
Republic with some specifically defined democratic methods.
The Constitution, of course, is intended to strictly limit the
Federal Government to but a few enumerated functions.

No one can read our Constitution without
concluding that the people who wrote it
wanted their government severely limited;
the words "no" and "not" employed in restraint
of government power occur 24 times in the first
seven articles of the Constitution and 22 more
times in the Bill of Rights. - Edmund A. Opitz

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions and outright frauds—is used politically by different groups with
major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought.
That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
