democracy


“Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.”

“The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.”

“A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine.”

“Democracy means government by the uneducated, while aristocracy means government by the badly educated.”

“Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.”

“Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.”

“Democracy is a process by which the people are free to choose the man who will get the blame.”

“Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner”
