Why doesnt The Journal-Standard balance their local liberal contributors with local conservative contributors?

Case in point, starting with definitions. "Democracy," majority-ruled government exercised directly by the largest group of activists, resulting in mob rule. A mobocracy, leading to oppression of minorities, leading to revolutions. When the majority rules, there is no need for controlling supreme law. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Government becomes whatever the majority demands. Most leaders become dictators.

"Republic" 1. A form of government where citizens have the power and choose those who represent them. 2. A political order in which the supreme power lies in the body of legal, sovereign citizens who are entitled to vote for officers and representatives responsible to them. 3. A state or nation with a president as its titular head who is prevented from being a dictator by the constitution. "and to the Republic for which it stands". No true American patriot pledges allegiance to a democracy.

"Constitution" 1. The system of fundamental laws and principles that prescribes the nature, functions, and limits of a government. 2. The supreme law of the U.S., consisting of the document ratified by the original thirteen states (1787-1790).

"Constitutional Republic" A government of, by and for the people; whose supreme law is their constitution, which strictly limits their governments authority and power. Consequently, the U.S. has never been a democracy.

"If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself" Joseph Goebbels, Hitlers propaganda minister.

For decades, politicians, leftists, Marxists, media, government schools, university professors and ignorant pseudo-intellectual snobs have constantly repeated the "democracy lie." America has only one government, our Constitutional Republic... "PERIOD", Full STOP!

Ultimately, with all due respect, I reject Pat and Chuck Wemstroms article in The Journal-Standard of April 24. Reasons; see above. My personal opinion is It only wastes time responding to leftist drivel, prattle and claptrap. Ive had a little time to waste. The Wemstroms had an open field for years without a weekly conservative counter. My repulse is with respect to Americas patriots. Nuff said, drop the mic.
