How Democrats Destroy a Democracy

Back to the Politicians: Thieves, Liars, and Control Freaks Page

How To Destroy a Democracy (or ruin a republic):

Destroy confidence in any old laws, judicial systems, constitutions, and citizen rights, by trivializing them and consistently ignoring them. It will also help if the leaders break oaths, dodge the draft, or just generally are unethical.

Prove to the countries citizens that their leaders are not to be expected to obey laws like they are. That their leaders are above the law. This will instill in their minds the fact that government is all-powerful and that it can rightfully get away with anything. It will also discourage any resistance to the government's pollicies.

Deny any personal wrong doings over and over despite proof to the contrary. Say anything, promise anything, and do anything. Remember that leaders can do no wrong and it is best to instill this in the minds of the people as soon as possible.

Diminish the value of life itself by encouraging abortion. Especially at the last minute of birth. Disguise the brutality of this by calling it "PARTIAL" birth abortion.

Destroy the concept of voting. Implement a substitute that can be manipulated and is open to interpretation. Something like "polls" or "citizen roundtables" should work fine.

Insure that the federal government receives high visibility when giving away tax money for social programs. This will achieve two purposes. It will make the people totally dependent on the government and give the appearance that their leaders are charitable. This will in turn help the federal government look good, allow it to raise taxes, and will undoubtedly improve poll results. Never let the people realize that to give it to them you first had to take it away from them.

Pick some popular topics like cigarette smoking, gun control, safety restraints, and environmental conservation that sound good, play them up, and use them to slowly pass restrictive laws and tax codes. Each of these laws and codes should take away just a few small freedoms. People will eventually become accustomed to loosing a little freedom "for their own good" and the federal government can then parley this into eventual total freedom elimination.

Obtain the names and addresses of everybody who owns a firearm. This can be accomplished through such scams as gun registration, and gun purchasing checks. When the gun purchasing checks fail, blame it on "intermediary purchasing" and pass additional restrictive, freedom removing laws.

Slowly remove all firearms from the populace. Best to claim this is for their own good because they do not know how to control their usage. Without weapons their alternatives will be limited and they will be forced to accept the federal government's will.

Insure that all education facilities become dependent on the federal government. Provide funding for programs and then use threats of fund withdrawal to achieve the government's goals despite local resistance. This will insure total compliance with federal directives and allow the government's socialistic policies to be forced into the schools.

Slowly buy into the country's business through the stock market with the intent to eventually have the government own and control all the countries industries. Best to do this under the guise of saving some popular public benefit program like health care or social pension plans.

Never acknowledge that the local government has done anything on their own. Insure that the federal government receives the bulk of the credit for anything good that happens.

Be sure to insert the federal government into major debates and arguments between unions and business. Force their compliance with the federal government's ideas and policies under the pretence of helping out. This influence can also be extended to sport activities, air travel and eventually to almost anything.

Be sure to use the federal government's military authority to demonstrate its power and to distract the citizenry from any federal government mistakes. The target is unimportant and consideration for the lose of life or military hardship is unnecessary. Just go bomb somebody!

Do not let the local government tax the people to heavily. This can be accomplished by over taxing the people with the federal government's tax. To placate the people institute small subsidies that can be given back to the people in the local government, but only if the local government spends it as the federal government says.

Should the government end up with an excess of funds be sure to immediately institute a propaganda campaign to name the excesses as "surpluses" and never let the citizens know that it is really over taxation. That way the government can claim credit instead of being blamed for unsound taxing policies.

If it becomes necessary to really cut spending, cut benefits to specific minority groups such as the military. The military after all can not criticize the government and are bound to strict obedience. Essential military projects are also good targets. The cuts can always be attributed to your opponents and later you can claim a defense crisis and look like a hero by reinstating the programs.

Subsidize local police forces with the intent of achieving federal influence at the local law enforcement level. This procedure will make it possible for the federal government to use the local police to enforce federal laws without remuneration. This added financial burden would provide the added benefit of making local authorities dependent on the federal government.

Demonize a particular group of citizens and place all blame for the nation's ills upon their shoulders. You should pick some group like the "Religious Right" or "Christian Conservatives". This procedure worked well for the Nazi's with the Jews and the tactic undoubtedly will work well again.

"Why do people go bonkers over an ATM fee increase from a dollar to $2.86, but Gephardt talks about raising taxes and there's not a peep?"

"Dick Gephardt was in Iowa campaigning for Rep. Leonard Boswell at Des Moines's Blank Park Zoo. So Gephardt was at the zoo campaigning for a Democrat. I'm not surprised."

"The only thing that could wipe out this surplus is spending, and Gephardt would love to spend us back into a deficit circumstance, to give him the opportunity to criticize Bush all day long."

"Seasoned citizens probably think all this money is coming from the government. But who gives the government the money to pay for the free prescription drugs? Us, the taxpayers."

"Had Dick Gephardt been in total charge, and had the Republicans not won the House in 1994, we wouldn't have had a boom in the mid-90's. We'd have had nothing but continued tax increases. You Democrats would have done everything you could to reverse the brilliance of the Reagan economic plan in the early 80's."

"You liberal Democrats don't know how to bring about a great economy because you don't believe that it can happen on its own."

"The average American family has to face that fact every day that they just can't afford buying or replacing something. Why does the federal government never get faced with this?"

"The people who are opposed to smoking are the same people who hand out clean needles to heroin junkies on the basis that at least it will keep it clean. The same people who hand out condoms to teenagers, saying that we can't stop them so at least let's make it safe."

"What a brilliant idea! What courage! What a stroke of genius on the part of Little Dick Gephardt to come up with a tax increase. The Republicans would never think of this!"

"Sitting right there on the petri dish, an unviable tissue mass became a little boy. Thankfully, it became a little boy because the federal government didn't have the power to move in and stop it and decide that one of those petri dishes should be used for medical research."

"Are we to conclude that the only solution to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's involves the death of human embryos?"

"I believe life begins at conception because it can't begin anywhere else."

"If there's one thing in the world that deserves being emotional about, if you ask me, it's life. It's the greatest gift there is."

"I predicted back in the late eighties and early nineties when the whole abortion subject was raging, and then euthanasia came along, that we were going to come up with all sorts of reasons to start killing people, and they're all going to be based on the convenience to the living."

"We conjure up all these circumstances that make us guilt-free when we take action that results in deciding who lives and who dies."

"I was just appalled that Senator Daschle, in such an obvious quest for power, was so comfortable injecting himself into this stem cell research equation, as to being the ultimate authority as to who lives and who doesn't, and when."

"How many children would you allow to die in order to cure Janet Reno of Parkinson's Disease? How many children would you send back to Cuba to cure Janet Reno? Or are those both the same thing?"

"If your parents are having some financial difficulties, are you going to walk down the street in your neighborhood and knock on the doors and ask your neighbors for money? No. But you will vote for people who will do it for you so that you can do it anonymously."

"This is exactly what I predicted! I just was one trip late, but it turns out in fact that Putin and Bush have come to an agreement on the ABM treaty of 1972 - and Democrat leaders in the Senate have been caught flat-footed."
