Thank you Less Prone.

In that case I agree with DTOM. If the US was not an oligarchy prior to Woodrow Wilson's presidency, then it certainly became one when he was elected because in my estimation he was a plant identical to Obama- it's just that the flood gates of constitution smashing laws had not yet made the scene in 1913 as they have now.

It is as though the English Royal family grooms our presidents and that would not only explain our illegal system of taxation, but also the terror campaign against Trump! 

This year has the potential to be the most turbulent one of my life and even though there probably won't be a mass awakening in America, there could arise a great resistance by patriots if Obama takes some kind of drastic parting shot action against freedom.

Exactly Suzie...the useful idiots and puppets constantly bandy about the term 'democracy'.

I once had a 'discussion' at a family wedding with an supposed educated idiot who repeatedly stated that the United States was a 'democracy', the words 'constitutional republic' seemed lost on him...

Then it could be argued that the US has been an 'oligarchy' for well over 100 years now, masquerading as a democracy.

At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, a Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin, "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded, "A republic, if you can keep it."

The exchange was recorded for posterity by Constitution signer James McHenry in an entry in his diary, which was later reproduced in the 1906 American Historical Review.

Interesting that the quote has been manipulated in recent times to be misquoted as "A democracy, if you can keep it." -  http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/7631-a-repub...

Has anyone written anything about the threat to the American republic In the past 100 years?
Democracy is and always was a stepping stone to socialism and finally world communism.
The American democracy has now fulfilled all the planks of the communist manifesto..
We have a murderer, a socialist , corporate lawyers and a billionaire running right now for the job of CEO of America inc.

Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide.

US diplomat & politician (1735 - 1826)
