A Democrat reveals his dislike for democracy: New York Senator Charles Schumer proposes disenfranchising tea party voters in order to weaken their impact at the polls. He also suggested that the IRS harassment of conservatives, and conservatives only, is a good thing.

And what would you replace it with Einstein? Thanks for throwing me that Meatball, Mr Koan. I would replace it with a Constitutional Republic. it would be very similar to the Constitutional Republic that was established in this same geographic area over 230 years ago. But there would be some changes. One change would be to remove any mechanisms that would allow the majority to slowly erode away the rights of individuals to convert the government to a functional democracy while still claiming to be a constitutional republic. Further, it would provide mechanisms to remove the elements of society who would subvert the protection and defense of individual rights. The Constitutional Republic needs a prime directive. And that prime directive is that those who act in a way that indicates that they do not believe that protection of the natural rights of individuals is the one true role of the government, should have no expectation that their natural individual rights will be protected by the government. Liberals realize that the key to the destruction of this constitutional republic is embedded in the culture itself. Alinsky's rules for radicals calls it out....use their own rules and beliefs against them. In other way to put it is that we need to put a survival instinct into our next constitutional government. Something that says that it is not hypocritical to identify an existential threat and do whatever is necessary to eliminate that threat. Maybe then our response to a 9/11 type of event won't be to open up the borders to millions of muslims and give them government jobs and let sharia law concepts enter our own legal system
