Posted at 09:47h, 04 AugustI often hear politicians regardless of political affiliation advocate the cohesion of the American society with phrases like “THIS is not who WE are”, or ” WE are better than THIS” or “OUR ‘democracy’ is strong” etc, etc, blah, blah, ad nauseum. Well, considering the corruption that is inherently present in ‘who our elected public officials are’ I’ve come to THIS conclusion: NO this is NOT who I AM and this is definitely NOT the ‘democracy’ I voted for. I sincerely hope the average American citizen soon, sooner than later, wake up, revolt and restore THIS ‘democracy’ back to the Constitutional Republic, as it was originally founded.
