141. Ignorant Majoritarianism is not an American Value |
|
It is a Republican value.
The greatest monument to Ignorant Majoritarianism and to Respecting Other People's Maintream Opinions is in the constitution, where it cites slaves as 3/5s of a person.
The people who are making an issue of the Pledge and In God We Trust wish--in their deepest, darkest hearts--to estalish a state religion in the United States, of their own morbid version of Christianity.
I would see this nation destroyed or torn assunder permanently into the Blue and the Red before I would see them succeed. I think most of the founding fathers of this country would agree.
