Constitutional Republic Versus Democracy – Inalienable Rights Versus Mob Rule

"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 importantrepublic”  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.”

Another Day, Another “Terrorist” Patsy…

The following correspondence originally took place upon the Facebook wall of an ex-acquaintance…

Terrorist patsy, Nicky Reilly

Daniel Sz.: Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with this story?

Nicky Reilly, Muslim Convert, Jailed for 18 Years for Exeter Bomb Attack:

Rayn: The whole story defies logic. This alleged perpetrator of an attempted mass murder has an IQ of 83, and his so-called home-made explosives fizzled out on location, as opposed to failing completely, burning up in his basement, or going off during his jostling 44-mile bus-ride to the target site. This fantasy has all the same hallmarks as the last two attempted Muslim extremist terrorists – Shoe Bomber Richard Reid, and Underwear Bomber Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab. And, as usual, this highly suspect character was “known” to western homeland security forces, yet nothing was done. He’s a patsy, for sure – likely being used to promote the failing “War on Terror,” and to focus the war apparatus on “homegrown” illusions. I couldn’t help but notice that, embedded within most of the mainstream media “reports” about this case is the claim that the would-be terrorist was trained using the internet and Pakistan. I get the feeling that we are all being conditioned to accept the next two DIRECT targets in the “War on Terror” (since they each are already being attacked by stealth (i.e. drone attacks on Pakistan, and laws being formulated in the US to shut down the net in a “National Emergency”).

The Simple Melody Formula Behind Pop Music’s Biggest Hits

I originally posted the following video and commentary onto my Facebook wall…

Axis of Awesome – Four Chord Song Skit:

My Commentary: Most pop music is COMPLETELY UNCREATIVE and UNORIGINAL. Rather than being based in talent, as many have already surmised, it is actually based in a proven mathematical formula for success involving the same four chords in the same progression, over and over again!

For those musically-literate, here are the four chords in their proper order: MINOR 1, MAJOR 6, MAJOR 3, FLAT 7!!! Together, they form a portion of Johann Pachelbel’s most famous work, “Canon in D,” which was written around 1690:
