"More democratic" is evil by realistic standards. Our country's founders mandated a republic to protect the rights of the minority against mob rule of the best organized gang.

BTW, democracy and universal suffrage are separate issues. You can have or deny universal suffrage under a de-mob-ocracy or a republic.

Jim K, the correct title is IADT, the International Association of Dictators and Tyrants, and the not-progressive Regressives do want us to pledge allegiance to them.

In violation of Article 4, Section 4, the not-progressive Regressive Movement will soon make the next change so that we will be pledging allegiance to the "wonderful democracy" for which it stands.
