Tres Kerns -- Can America Survive Democracy?: "The best explanation I ever heard about this subject was from Dr. John Eidsmoe of Faulkner University, who expanded on Benjamin Franklin''s original idea. A democracy is three wolves and a lamb deciding what they are going to have for lunch. A republic is the same three wolves and a lamb voting on a representative who will decide what they are going to have for lunch. A Constitutional Republic recognizes a higher law outside of creation that those wolves cannot eat the lamb for lunch and the lamb is bearing arms (guns) for self-defense.
Founding Father Dr. Benjamin Rush said it this way, 'They call it a democracy -- a mobocracy in my opinion would be more proper.' A U.S. Army Training Manual stated; 'Democracy, n.: A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any other form of direct expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic...negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it is based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Result is demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.' This U.S. Army Training Manual was used only 70 years ago. "
