@commonlaw bias and prejudice post. 

As a curator for informationwar I, have the privilege of helping to curate our awesome informationwar writers articles. Everyone should know the goals for informationwar, which we can review here.

Our Purpose

The tag informationwar is for posts discussing Information War, Propaganda, and Disinformation. This covers the history and methods of infowar, where it fits as a method of war, what fakenews is and how to recognize it, and tools for fighting the war.

Tools include critical thinking, logic, and intelligence methods.

This also deals with the current war that the Deep State is fighting against us, and how we can fight back.

The ultimate purpose of InformationWar is to give you tools to defend liberty in this war.

My opinion about this is that it is very inclusive.

Anyone can write for informationwar. Just about any subject can be turned into exposing corruption or tools for critical thinking. There is however a very real problem occurring in the definitions of terms and there use. What is happening is really a problem for me as a curator. I have to curate post that meet the criteria for the informationwar tag and in order for me to do that I have to be able to read and comprehend the post. The improper use of terms creates a cloud of confusion for me. 

To be frank:

There are a lot of terms that the meanings of are being morphed into meaning things that are not a part of the history, cultural and traditional use for the terms. Democracy and Republic are just two of the terms but the problem can be illustrated using these two terms. First I am going to share with you what I think and than I am going to share with you quotes from the founding fathers of America to illustrate my points. Than I am going to ask you to tell me what you think in comments. 

My opinion: Bias & Prejudice

So a question to ask is when speaking in terms of a Republic what does the term democracy mean. It is in my opinion that this is a reference to the creation of a tool to apply the general will of the people, and is specifically called voting. The standard that the Greek's used in developing this tool was if 51% voted for a measure than the measure passed and the 49% where duty bound to go along. What was discovered by the ancient Greek's was that this political tool used in this specific fashion created a unstable body politic, for the people and businesses. 

There was no reason for the industrious to invest in any substantial way, because the rule's used to create a system never stayed long enough for a system to develop. So the reality was lawlessness, tyranny,  and war.

This is why I call a Democracy the political pig pen of political systems.

Pig's after all devour anything and everything including the liberty, freedom and responsibility, which resides in the individual. It just so happens that is the results of a Democracy in actions. Any time you have lawlessness, tyranny and war you also have frequent visits from the four houseman, Famine, War, Disease and Death. Thus Famine, War, Disease and Death are the results of Democracy. So how does a Republic use the tool called voting? 

Notice I did not use the word democracy, because in a Republic the tool has been modified and is not represented by the term democracy. One has to start by comprehending that in a Democracy all and I do mean all ; laws are up for a vote. This means that murder, rape and any other crime can be converted to a right. In a Republic the constitution represents law that can only be changed by a 2/3 majority in both the house and the senate. This change is why Republics have comity, peace and security instead of the four houseman from Democracy. 

Quotes from the American founding fathers.

The following is a series of quotes from our founders on what they thought of “democracies.”  and can be found in a PDF the reformation and is authored By M. Kenneth Creamer. It is my hope that my fellow informationwar writer's will find the time to read this very informative book. It too shows the differences between the use of the tools called voting and the Principals used to lay the Foundations of a Republic. He also discloses why it is sedition and treason for an official to miss represent these facts and is a very interesting book in and of itself. 

"Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths." 

James Madison 

"Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide." 

 John Adams 

"A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction. These will produce an eruption and carry desolation in their way. The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness which the ambitious call, and ignorant believe to be liberty." Further, he stated that, "Liberty has never lasted long in a democracy, nor has it ever ended in anything better than despotism." In fact he believed that it was "democracy that pollutes the morals of the people before it swallows up their freedoms."  

Fisher Ames  

"We have seen the tumult of democracy terminate . . . as [it has] everywhere terminated, in despotism. . . . “   

Gouverneur Morris  

"[T]he experience of all former ages had shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived."  

John Quincy Adams  

"A simple democracy . . . is one of the greatest of evils."   

Benjamin Rush 

"In democracy . . . there are commonly tumults and disorders. . . . Therefore a pure democracy is generally a very bad government. It is often the most tyrannical government on earth."  

Noah Webster 

"Pure democracy cannot subsist long nor be carried far into the departments of state; it is very subject to caprice and the madness of popular rage."  

John Witherspoon 

 “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.  Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.”  

Benjamin Franklin

These quote's begs the question?

"Why are people crying out for their democracy, when the facts show that such is the opposite of what any educated individual wants for themselves and loved ones?" So if you are making this mistake in your writing or articles, I cannot in all consciousness, curate your post. Why should be obvious, but in case it is not? The fact is that one of informationwar's purpose is to expose propaganda and liar's. Making this specific mistake in the use of terms destructive propaganda whether such is intended or not. So if you disagree please feel free to correct me in comments. I may not agree with you, but I will not hold your opinion against you as a curator. If I did such would destroy the principals of liberty, freedom and responsibility that I  hold dear to my soul.
