Dear George,
If ever there was a lover of democracy, it is you. She is your mistress and you are ready to screw her at the drop of a hat. Those who claim that you are undermining her display their ignorance of just what democracy is.
You are just an old-fashioned guy, George, and the democracy you prop up is an old-fashioned democracy. We are talking about tried and true principles that have stood the test of time.
The purpose of democracy is to secure a man’s person and property, with an emphasis on the property. Therefore, it follows that in a true democracy, only those men with property to secure should be allowed to vote. It makes sense that those with a stake in the State (the property the State safeguards) should have a say in the State’s operation.
All others without property really don’t give a shit since their lives would be equally wretched regardless of who governed.
In this way, stability and order reign.
Unfortunately, the democratic gene mutated and gave rise to a deviant democracy as the suffrage was extended to those who owned nothing and cared about nothing. The result was chaos in which we witnessed:
- two world wars,
- depressions and recessions,
- the breakdown of the Anglo-privilege that built America,
- the dismissal of a patriarchal White Protestant church as the defacto state religion of America,
- pornography,
- and Britney Spears.
In short, it was an intolerable situation.
We forgot that one of the functions of a democracy is to control the unwashed mob. Now I ask you, how can you control the mob if you give them the vote? Democracy guarantees personal and political rights, not social rights.
I drop to my knees and thank God that you are bringing democracy back to America. Your 2000 appointment by the Supreme Court was a start. Next, you brought democracy to a new level in the 2004 election when you made it difficult, if not impossible, for the rabble to vote between broken voting machines and touch-screen machines with no paper trail. I pray that in 2008, touch-screen machines will be the salvation of American democracy as you disenfranchise the mob.
The only people who are qualified to direct America’s destiny are those who acquired property through their sweat, effort and guile. The difference between the thief and the man of property is that the thief robs his betters while the man of property robs his inferiors.
Thanks to you, Liberty’s torch is shining forth to illuminate the world.
Your admirer,
Belacqua Jones
