I still don't believe in democracy

Let me add that I still don't believe in democracy... I've never wavered in this conviction, and maybe more Republicans will start to see my logic(somebody should.) But what I do believe in more and less depending on the year is limited egalitarianism. That might sound like a ringing liberal proclamation, but it's sort of like how King Lear's daughter loved him more than salt... it was a humble statement that earned scorn, but it was a real statement of real love. My belief in egalitarianism is real and I've put my money where my mouth is many times. One-person one-vote democracy is like Christianity or any religion: sometimes it benefits humanity and promotes noble ideals, but eventually it must lead to disaster because it is fundamentally untrue. So, at this point in history, these primitive elections are not just fixing the damage they did in the Reagan Bush era, but actually ushering in a new great age of humanity. Just remember: Adolf Hitler was elected president and the megalomaniac General MacArthur would have been our president with a different fall of the dice. Athenian democracy worked because the only people who voted put their lives in danger behind spears to defend the community... and yet even so it led to great mistakes and injustices. My family has belonged to The Democratic Party for many generations(sometimes in positions of power,) and I love the party almost as well as I love Obama personally. I rejoice that our growing electorate will advance liberals causes from The Supreme Court to the hash coffeehouses of California to the Mexican-filled pear orchards of my native Jackson County, Oregon, making it harder and harder for conservative Republicans to win majorities, force ultra-sounds on women, or slash the funding of universities. But I am aware that a mansion built on a philosophically rotten foundation must eventually collapse.
