...according to their self-appointed "intellectual" gurus, "democracy is done"--which is really what this is all about.

...These assholes destroy the country with their "think" tanks, bought-and-paid-for media, "public relations", political megachurches--a million anti-democratic streams that all run together like mud--and once the destruction is nearly complete, they then brazenly declare to the little people that "democracy is done". They're the reason why!

Remember Mitt Romney getting caught on a hidden microphone making his snide little remark about the "47% takers"? And Romney is supposed to be one of the nice, respectable, moderate Republicans! These people need to be a lot more careful where they speak this kind of garbage. At this point, they're just asking for it.
