[Webster]

Demokratie? Nein, Danke. - Digby's Hullabaloo

“We do not want to be a democracy”* Republicans want to roll back the 20th century a quarter of the way into the 21st. They've made no bones about it for decades. In his heyday during the George W. Bush administration prior to the September 11 attacks, Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax...
