Why Nobama

[Dr_BuzzCzar]

Obama is a Socialist.

He will do the final blow to a dying republic.
The founding fathers of this great republic feared Democracy, which is why they wanted the citizens armed.
Democracy has a terrible flaw. When the vote spreads out to all the people, instead of just the productive people, the masses begin to vote themselves bigger shares of the treasury. Thus begins the decline and fall of every democracy and it plunges into tyranny.

Tyranny ends in violent overthrow, but this most often just leads to more tyranny. It is rare that a Republic such as the United States is established.

Obama is not a socialist, not even close.

The Founding Fathers did not fear Democracy. They created a representative democracy based primarily on Lockian ideals that utilized the best of democratic principles of one person, one vote. It was an extraordinary accomplishment of creating a government from an idea, instead of along tribal, racial, or conquerored lines.

The second amendment will be debated ad infinitum I am quite sure. Remember this was the 18th century and was written in the aftermath of a long and vicious war. It wasn't democracy they wanted an armed citizenry to be able to overthrow, it was the fear of a tyrannical leader taking charge and not living up to the constitution. I am personally certain it wasn't written into the constitution so some group of lame-brained idiots could get their jollies by going to indiscriminately shoot their AK-47's, Uzi's, Desert Eagles, and .50 cal Barretts in the pathetic assumption it will make them more of a man.

Edit: Anyway, I'm out of here until post-vote. Its always fun playing with the other side. Thanks for the chance.
