Democracy is mob rule and as long as people are alive mobs will never rule for long. Democracy is demonic and demons die as soon as they are exposed.

Excellent post, thank you Will!

President James Garfield once said, "Now more than ever the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national legislature. . . . If the next centennial does not find us a great nation . . . it will be because those who represent the enterprise, the culture, and the morality of the nation do not aid in controlling the political forces."

I live in Idaho, and during our primary election this year, it was incredibly frustrating to witness how many voters were swayed by hearsay, gossip, propaganda mailers, etc., without bothering to research about candidates for themselves. The amount of blatant apathy was absolutely sickening, and disheartening.

I pray our nation wakes up before it is too late!

Thank you for the post, please keep them coming!
