Question

Americans are and can be true lovers of democracy and human values if they can bridle their erring leaders?

Answer 1

u dont really choose your leaders.  u endorse who the party have decided to run for the positions. hence u are technically not choosing the right person .  true democracy is when u choose the best in your community to govern you with the least self-interest.  not rebel-rousing, noise making, NATO-type characters [no action, talk only] .  this is hard to find.....aaahh!

Answer 2

Agreed!

We need to put Americans back in charge of the ELECTED officials instead of voting for "lesser of the two evils" candidates and then sitting on our hands while they do as they please.  

Politicians  have stopped really listening to the American people and the American people are letting the media run the show and tell them what to think.

Words like Greed, Power, Apathy and Ignorance were not written into our Constitution.

I think most Americans have a true love of democracy, freedom and human values but are to lazy, apathetic and ignorant to get involved in insisting that those we elect to office cut out the political crapola, and do the job they are sent to Washington to do.  Wouldn't hurt if they had to pass a test on the Constitution and study the Bill of Rights before they could take office. After-all, those things are included in the oath of office, but seem to be forgotten once the oath is taken.

Answer 3

gosh i certainly hope so.

Answer 4
