A Republic vs a Democracy:

Texas Fred broached the subject wonderfully here.

I wish to briefly add to the discussion, by submitting a pointed quote by Walter Williams, who summarizes best in two concise sentences:

(In a Democracy) “the restraint is upon the individual instead of government. Unlike that envisioned under a republican form of government, rights are seen as privileges and permissions that are granted by government and can be rescinded by government.”

Look at the photo above.  I found that in the cab of a Union Pacific locomotive.  Where UNIONS are dominant.

I didn’t draw it.  I didn’t make it up.

Base wisdom.

    • I found it interesting to note that writing about the government in the cab of a locomotive whose crafts, engineer and conductor, are heavily invested in unions — the BLET and the UTU.

  1. Thank you for the link! 😛

    I’ll say this, no one can ever say WE didn’t warn them about what goes on in this world and what is on the current agenda..

    I just hope that our readers are doing more than reading, like maybe sharing your posts, and mine, with their lists of friends and contacts!

    2° of separation…
