Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule—and both commonly succeed, and are right… The United States has never developed an aristocracy really disinterested or an intelligentsia really intelligent. Its history is simply a record of vacillations between two gangs of frauds.

H.L. Mencken

That, dear readers, is why our nation was founded not as a democracy, as so many modern politicians are quick to claim, but rather a consent-based republic.  In other words, the ultimate right was the individual right to say no thanks to someone else (individual, group, or government) claiming some higher authority to your life, liberty and property.

Constitutionally, the only role of the federal government was what was listed outright in the constitution, and nothing more.   Reading the framers of the constitution’s own words you’ll learn that the primary purpose of the government was to protect the rights on the individual, which themselves were undeniable and inherent to life.  Compare that ideal to what is espoused by republican and democrat candidates (with the lone exception of Ron Paul, who we support and endorse since we’re not chasing power, but rather supporting the idea of liberty), and you should be worried!
