The following correspondence originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I posted artwork being shared by the page, “-GET Involved! You live here“…

Rayn:

"What the U.S. is supposed to be - A Constitutional Republic - where the rights of the Individual are protected. What we pretend it is - A Democracy - where the Individual is forced to comply with the will of the majority. What it actually is - A corporation owned by an international banking cabal, where the Individual has no rights and whose labor is used as collateral in an unlawful pyramid scheme."

Allison: Amazing how many people don’t really know, or understand, this.

Rayn: Amazing, indeed! Individuals for a Free Society!

Democracy, or a Constitutional Republic?

The following debate originally took place here, on the Facebook page, “Thomas Paine“…

(replies from all third parties have been omitted for clarity) 

Thomas Paine’s FB Page: The Sun never shined on a cause of greater worth

"Democracy... a challenge"

“Democracy… a challenge”

Jan Paulson: That’s funny??? Neither my copy of the Declaration of Independence nor my copy of the Constitution mentions anything about a Democracy… they keep refering to A REPUBLIC!!!!!

Jason Gade: There is no significant difference between a democracy and a republic, unless you are being a nitpicking asshole.

Rayn: Good point, Jan! I was thinking that very same thing! To America’s Founders, pure “Democracy” was the dangerous legalization of 51% mob rule, while a “Constitutional Republic” sought to protect the Inalienable Rights of the Citizenry, as established by the Constitution, regardless of the will of the majority.

So, rest assured that making such a distinction is a far cry from being a “nitpicking asshole.” 🙂

“Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.” – Marvin Simkin

"Democracy: Two Wolves and a Sheep Voting on What's for Dinner"

“Democracy: Two Wolves and a Sheep Voting on What’s for Dinner”

As with all election seasons I have previously experienced, in these last few days,  I have heard countless individuals paying lip-service to America’s “democracy,” while very few speak of the much more vitally important “republic”  that this country was Constitutionally founded upon. Therefore, I’d like to point out a few important facts for consideration:

1) America’s government was never meant to be a pure “democracy.” Instead, it was intended to be a “Constitutional Republic.”

American Government, or Individual Sovereignty?

The following debate originally took place upon my Facebook wall, after I shared the lyrics to my song, “America“…

"Structural Corruption"

“Structural Corruption”

Anthony T.: This country is pretty messed up, but do you know of a better alternative?

Rayn: Being forced to choose between flawed government systems creates the “FALSE PARADIGM.” Here’s another alternative: How about INDIVIDUAL SOVEREIGNTY!? It may not be available right now, but that doesn’t remove it as an alternative, or eliminate it as reasonable way of life! This is vastly superior to being a SLAVE! And, if that answer doesn’t suit you, here’s another alternative: Switzerland. For one, the taxes very reasonable. Unlike here, where everyone but the rich pays 30.8%, almost no one pays over 30% (this is why the rich keep their money in Swiss Banks). Their policies make them one of the richest countries in the world by per capita gross domestic product. Out of their three global cities, Zürich & Geneva have respectively been ranked as having the first and second highest quality of life in the world! Also, as all men are required to join the militia, and must keep their service guns in their home, crime is very low! And, unlike America, the Swiss remain neutral unless attacked!
