The USA is NOT a democracy

While writing my post on the NAFTA Superhighway yesterday, I specified that some of the dealings that were done in secrecy were unacceptable in a democracy. This brought something to my mind, something I told myself I would share with you guys. It is a video interview of Aaron Russo, a former documentary filmmaker who was very outspoken about the federal reserve system and the IRS. This short clip tells something that a majority of Americans do not seem to remember. The United States of America isn't a democracy. Democracy is mob rule, where 51% of the people can dictate the lives of the other 49%. The US is a Constitutional Republic, where you have God given rights and 99% of the population cannot take away the rights of 1% of the population.

The video still works for me from here. You could always search youtube with "USA is not a democracy" or Aaron Russo videos and you should find it. The video itself is part of an interview between Russo and infowars.com's Alex Jones
