“We encourage Republicans to substitute the words ‘republic’ and ‘republicanism’ where previously they have used the word ‘democracy,’ ” the resolution says. “Every time the word ‘democracy’ is used favorably it serves to promote the principles of the Democratic Party, the principles of which we ardently oppose.”


The above toxic statement is a direct quote from the WA GOP.

It's all about the brainwashing, can't have the unwashed masses thinking about democracy. That might lead to thinking about Democratic principals!!


They are willing to sacrifice everything the Founders of this country held dear to hold on to power.
And what's worse: they're dumb enough to put it in writing!!

Republicans must be stopped, or we won't have a country for much longer.

The WA GOP put it in writing that they’re not into democracy

Some Republicans have been defensive that the party has a strong anti-democratic bent. But the state GOP convention embraced it, writes columnist Danny Westneat.

As usual the Leftist Marxists here have manage to distort the truth and compound it with more of their failed pravda. Starts by citing a source of left-wing bias MSM, The Seattle Times*, then adding words and content that wasn't there.
* BTW, having used my allotment of "free" I'm not about to pay a leftwing loony propaganda rag for their distorted story.

Here's one source of the actual Resolution. Notice there is no word "democracy" or "republic" mentioned. It was to do with repealing the 17th Amendment and if any of the many loons posting here had any real experience in politics they would know that resolutions at conventions are items for a party platform, but may not result in same wording, if/when they might be presented as a Bill.

I'm a Constitutional Conservative not a Republican and the Founders were very clear that the US is a Constitutional Republic. You would know this if you didn't let the elite on the left think for you. They use your ignorance making you believe that if you don't vote or act a certain way you are going to lose Democracy.

Nowhere in the Constitution is the word Democracy mentioned, but the Republic is.

The man is sick, and you are a fool for being his submissive cuck.

And you are a fool for wanting to give away our country to illegal aliens. The Bill wouldn't end the invasion, just try to halfway legitimize it, and in the process overload our nation's resources and bust our economy.
EXCERPT:
The asylum system is broken

The Border Bill would facilitate asylum processing at the border and make it more difficult to get an asylum hearing before an immigration judge. However, migrants would still be screened for eligibility for withholding of removal or protection under the Convention Against Torture.

In addition, Customs and Border Protection would be required to process a minimum of 1,400 inadmissible migrants per day at land ports of entry under expedited removal or non-custodial removal proceedings. This would be more than 511,000 undocumented immigrants a year.

At best, these measures would slow the rate at which the immigration court backlog grows.

According to TRAC Immigration, the growth of the immigration court backlog has been accelerating at a breakneck pace since the start of the Biden administration, when the backlog was only 1,290,766 cases. It is 3,287,058 cases now.

The average wait for an initial master calendar hearing for pleadings and to schedule an individual hearing on the merits of the case is four years. The total wait for a merits hearing can be up to 10 years .

Adding more judges won’t help. While the addition of the 375 more judges Biden wants would increase the size of the court to more than a thousand, the Congressional Research Service estimated in a July 2023 report that it would take 1,349 judges 10 years to clear the backlog, which was only 1,979,313 cases when CRS made that calculation. The backlog is more than 55 percent larger now.

The immigration court completed 671,966 cases in fiscal 2023. At that rate, it would take around five years for it to clear its 3,287,058 case backlog even if it did not receive any more new cases.

Breaking down the Senate border bill — and why it had no chance of passing

Democrats are playing politics with the border.

What Trump and the rest of us want is a border protection bill that does that, not one that just sets the flow of revolving doors.

[IDIOCRACY]

It's just that Conservatives know whatever labels Democracks apply to themselves, it's a mis-label, sometimes an antonym. Democrats is one example. Similar the Democrats were founded as the party to protect slavery, and now they sell themselves as a blackman's savior.

 

[g5000]

And Schumers not allowing modifications.

He knows it. He's just being himself.

Schumer offered to bring up the REPUBLICAN bill with no changes allowed by Democrats.

Idiot.

The Republicans had their bluff called, and they blinked.

Like I said, the LAST thing Trump wants is a border protection bill passed while he is out of power and the Republicans in Congress obeyed his will.

They all now own the border.

 

[g5000]

The Republicans want immigration control about as much as they wanted Roe v. Wade or Obamacare repealed. It's just theater for the rubes.

With the economy going strong, the border is all they have left to hammer Biden with.

So here are some very strong clues you all are being hoaxed once again by the organization formerly known as the Republican party.

First, Joe Biden submitted an immigration reform package to Congress on DAY ONE of his administration. Did you rubes know that?

Check it out: Fact Sheet: President Biden Sends Immigration Bill to Congress as Part of His Commitment to Modernize our Immigration System | The White House

• Supplement existing border resources with technology and infrastructure. The legislation builds on record budget allocations for immigration enforcement by authorizing additional funding for the Secretary of DHS to develop and implement a plan to deploy technology to expedite screening and enhance the ability to identify narcotics and other contraband at every land, air, and sea port of entry. This includes high-throughput scanning technologies to ensure that all commercial and passenger vehicles and freight rail traffic entering the United States at land ports of entry and rail-border crossings along the border undergo pre-primary scanning. It also authorizes and provides funding for plans to improve infrastructure at ports of entry to enhance the ability to process asylum seekers and detect, interdict, disrupt and prevent narcotics from entering the United States. It authorizes the DHS Secretary to develop and implement a strategy to manage and secure the southern border between ports of entry that focuses on flexible solutions and technologies that expand the ability to detect illicit activity, evaluate the effectiveness of border security operations, and be easily relocated and broken out by Border Patrol Sector. To protect privacy, the DHS Inspector General is authorized to conduct oversight to ensure that employed technology effectively serves legitimate agency purposes.

The Republicans blew it off.


But the GOP really tipped their hand in December when the military aid bill for Israel and Ukraine was before the Senate.

Senator Chuck Schumer offered a ZERO-CONDITIONS amendment to the bill which would have allowed the Republicans to add a border bill to the military aid bill WITH NO CHANGES BY THE DEMOCRATS ALLOWED.

The Republicans DECLINED.

And that, boys and girls, is how you know you are being hoaxed by the GOP yet again.

This Week’s ‘Border Security’ Debate Is a Ruse​

 

[g5000]

https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2024/04/30/united-states-mexico-border-surge-biden/

Illegal crossings along the U.S.-Mexico border are down more than 40 percent since December and have remained relatively stable through the first four months of 2024, bringing a modest reprieve for President Biden on an issue regarded as a liability to his reelection campaign.
Crossings often increase sharply during early spring, but that did not happen for the first time since Biden took office.

Then that means they are still 60% more than they should be.
Which is ZERO!

Yep, and that's why the turned on it....no changes.

And they should have known he would do that, but they jumped into anyway.

It's all about the brainwashing, can't have the unwashed masses thinking about democracy. That might lead to thinking about Democratic principals!!

When a group of citizens approached Benjamin Franklin after the constitutional convention and asked him what kind of government the convention had established, he replied, "A republic, if you can keep it."

Your post is a product of the substandard education that our public schools are providing. America was founded as a republic, and the founding fathers often referred to our founding principles as "republican principles" and "republicanism," with a small "r" to refer to concepts instead of party.

"Democratic principals"??? You should have said "democratic principles," with a small "d" for "democratic." And the word is "principles," not "principals." Check a dictionary.

They are willing to sacrifice everything the Founders of this country held dear to hold on to power.
And what's worse: they're dumb enough to put it in writing!!

This is sad and embarrassing. Go read the Pledge of Allegiance: "We pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands. . . ."

If you spent one hour in the writings of the founding fathers, you would discover that they founded a republic, not a purely majority-rule democracy. In a generic sense, we have democratic government--small "d"--because we have elections--but we are not a "democracy" in the technical definition of the term because we do not have absolute or pure majority rule.

Luckily, we still have some checks and balances against what the framers sometimes called the "tyranny of the majority."

Republicans must be stopped, or we won't have a country for much longer.

We have a republic.

All republics are democracies, by definition. A "republic" is a form of democracy.

Your post is proof positive that you don't have the first clue as to what a Republic is because if you did, you'd know that.

As soon as one of your fools says "We're a republic, not a democracy", I know you're a moron, parroting something you don't have the first clue about.

We can see that John Adams is right. We have the Democrat party forcing Democracy on Americans, actively calling for the destruction of our Republic. Tearing down statues, monuments. Burning our history. Refusing to teach the greatness of our country. We have Democrats trying to divide the races, the sexes, and now the newest, divide us by sexuality!

John Adams was right, we can see the Democracy democrats push, destroying itself as Democrats push harder and harder for Democracy, that always fails.

John Adams > Quotes > Quotable Quote​

(?)

“I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious on the whole, and in the long run, than monarchy or aristocracy. Democracy has never been and never can be so durable as aristocracy or monarchy; but while it lasts, it is more bloody than either. … Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty. When clear prospects are opened before vanity, pride, avarice, or ambition, for their easy gratification, it is hard for the most considerate philosophers and the most conscientious moralists to resist the temptation. Individuals have conquered themselves. Nations and large bodies of men, never.”​

The Dem's definition of 'democracy' is simple majority MOB rule. The USA is quite different, it's a Republic that guarantees minority states with smaller populations equal representation and decision making powers in the Senate on par with states who have much larger populations. This prevents asshole Democrats from forcing everyone to obey their world view via simple majority.
