How Come It's Still 1984? by Vin Suprynowicz: "Why are the Democrats – the party of my youth – so widely dismissed as pathetic poseurs these days?

Let's see. George W. Bush makes a big speech about how America promotes democracy throughout the world. How do the Democrats respond? By pointing out that our Founding Fathers purposely set us up with a Republic, while strongly warning against direct 'democracy' as nothing but 'mob rule,' likely to vote the constitutional rights of minorities out of existence at the first opportunity?

Of course not."
