Republic
versus
Democracy |
There is a great deal of reference by the media
and sadly, even by many of our elected officials to “our
democracy” or “this
democracy” when referring to our government. The Founding
Fathers of our nation wisely established a Republic, not a Democracy,
and there are many important differences. The differences can be
debated and argued in many ways but the best and simplest definition
I have found to date are the definitions printed in The Soldiers
Training Manual issued by the United States War Department, November
30, 1928. These definitions were published by the authority of
the United States Government and must be accepted as authentic
in any court of proper jurisdiction.
These precise and scholarly
definitions of a Democracy and a Republic were carefully considered
as a proper guide for U.S. soldiers and U.S. citizens by the Chief
of Staff of the United States Army. Such definitions take precedence
over any ‘definition’ that may be found in the present
commercial dictionaries which have suffered periodical ‘modification’ to
please ‘the powers in office’.
The definition for DEMOCRACY is found in TM2000-25: Section 118-120.
The definition for REPUBLIC is found in TM 2000-25: Section 120-121.
Shortly after the ‘bank holiday’ in the 1930’s,
hush-hush orders from the White House suddenly demanded that all
copies of this book [Ed. Note: Training Manual 2000-25] be withdrawn
from the Government Printing Office and the Army posts, to be suppressed
and destroyed without explanation. Sadly, on the orders of the
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) administration, this outstanding
Training Manual was “withdrawn” and destroyed. Question:
Why did the FDR administration destroy this outstanding training
manual?)
HERE ARE SOME RELEVANT QUOTES:
“Every step...towards...democracy is an advance towards
destruction...Liberty has never yet lasted long in a democracy;
nor has it ever ended in anything better than despotism.” (1801)
Fisher Ames (1758-1808; Congressman from Massachusetts)

“Our Republic was never created to be a
leveler of men. It was created to be a lifter, a developer of men.
Our Republic was created to let the gifted, the energetic,
and the creative rise to new heights of achievement, and to let
each man find his own level on the stairway of existence.
Our Republic was created to encourage men to meet their personal
responsibilities and to shirk no public duties. That is why our
people have always been concerned about the honest needs of their
fellow citizens, the chief of these needs being liberty, justice,
and opportunity.
Our Republic demands that the nation be governed by the capable,
the honorable, the far-seeing, the clear-seeing, and not by mediocre
men. In the beginning it was so. May it be so again!
Our Republic demands more from men than any other system
in the realm of self-discipline, dependability, cooperativeness,
industry, thrift, and honor. For anyone to foster class consciousness,
class conflict, misrepresentation, covetousness, violence, theft,
and an open defiance of established law – even when done ‘legally’ – is
to breed anarchy and tyranny.
Our Republic was not designed to interfere with the unalienable
right of its people to be masters of their own destinies.
Our Republic was established to make men free!”

(1) When “liberal” politicians (i.e., “socialists”)
took over the reigns of power within the U.S. Government back in
the 1930s, they decided that truthful, patriotic documents (such
as Training Manual 2000-25) “had to go”.
(2) Our founding fathers gave us a CONSTITUTIONAL
REPUBLIC – a form of government that was to be strictly limited
by the “chains” of the U.S. Constitution (and its “Bill
of Rights”). No matter what the “social-change agents” say
or write, it does not alter the fact that the United States was
founded as a REPUBLIC, and not as a democracy!
