We are NOT a "pure democracy", which is often expressed as two foxes and a chicken voting on what to have for lunch.
The left is trying their hardest to turn our system into a "democracy" where "the majority rules" no matter what, and the more people they can have who agree with them, the better.
I only want people to vote who are vested in this country with their citizenship. If they want to legally work here and pay taxes, that's on them.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Remember when Californians passed prop-8, but liberals quickly went to court to overturn it.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
