U.S. Government Training Manual No. 2000-25
WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON,
November 30, 1928
"DEMOCRACY: A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of "direct" expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic - negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it be based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Results in demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.
REPUBLIC: Authority is derived through the election by the people of public officials best fitted to represent them. Attitude toward property is respect for laws and individual rights, and a sensible economic procedure. Attitude toward law is the administration of justice in accord with fixed principles and established evidence, with a strict regard to consequences. A greater number of citizens and extent of territory may be brought within its compass. Avoids the dangerous extreme of either tyranny or mobocracy. Results in statesmanship, liberty, reason, justice, contentment, and progress. Is the "standard form" of government throughout the world. A republic is a form of govenment under a Constitution which provides for the election of an executive, a legislative body, and a judiciary."
Today's politicians constantly praise democracy. It is clear that the statesmen who once governed the USA clearly understood that such foolishness would cause the exact types of social decay that prevail today. The American people must insist that our lawful republic be restored in the place of today's lawless democracy that panders to people's baser lusts.
