We do not live in a democracy. Nor should we.
Why is our constitutional republic preferable to a democracy?
A democracy is where a majority dictates to the minority whether its rights will be protected or violated.
A constitutional republic is based on the concept of the sovereign individual. We individuals are the source of political power and we loan our power to representatives and we delegate our right to self-defense to the judiciary and the military.
Besides democracy, other forms of government can violate individual rights:
The very foundation of socialism is the violation of rights; particularly property rights. Statism, monarchy, feudalism all rest on an arbitrary power relationship that places the individual at the mercy of a ruler. Democracy is no better because a democratic form of government offers no guarantee that an individual's rights will be protected.
The proper form of government for a free people is constructed to absolutely protect individual rights regardless of the shifting moods of the masses. That protection is not guaranteed by any other form of government than a constitutional republic.

We've seen what happens when we elect someone who does not follow the will of the people. We get war. We get children left behind. We get no living wage.
We get people who want to kill us.
We did not get attacked until a christian became president.
In november, we the people will take back the house of representatives, we the people will impeach the bushitler and halicheneyburton, and president Pelosi will bring our boys back home, and we will live in peace.

The will of the people is mob rule; surely you do not suggest we go back to that?
Do you think it is ok to attack a country simply because the leader is Christian? Do you not realize how ignorant you sound when you do not know your history of American Presidents and their faith? Google it for cripes sake!
Muslims hate anyone who is NOT Muslim and it didn't just start with the attack on the WTC and Pentagon. Do you have to be spoon fed point by point?...

(I used the most liberal source I could find, PBS, knowing you'd balk at anything remotely conservative.)
In my opinion you could care less about "our boys". It is an all volunteer Armed force. That means they signed up for it VOLUNTARILY!
Please go get deprogrammed, you've been in the cult far to long!
