It was a wild scene as the people of Athens, led by the Nobleman Cleisthenes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleisthenes) founded the first world democracy.
Although in 508 B.C., "democracy" ("rule by the people") was a somewhat revolutionary movement, arising from the people themselves who were sick of the oppression by the elite, soon, the Athenian model became one of the cornerstones of Western Rule.
Yes, there would be Christian Emperors, whether the 1,000 years of Byzantine Emperors in the East or Emperors of lesser Germanic lands such as Charlemagne in 800 A.D., but eventually, the Athenian model would prove ideal for modern Western Nationalism.
Whether it was France or the United States, the people revolted against Christian Divine Right monarchies and decided to form their own governments.
"By the people and for the people . . ."
In many ways, what is happening in the United States, however, is simply not democratic anymore.
We will have selected candidates who come from either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party, all of whom have 'insider status' for whatever reason (usually perceived 'salesmanship' as a candidate, not actual quality of character!), and then, like sheep being led to the shearers, we Americans are forced by this fallen merit-less Two-Party system, as they are propped up and sustained by TV and newsmedia, and then essentially are given choices that are not REAL choices.
If you want a Ralph Nader-like Independent, well, too bad.
If you want a Rob J. King, young dynamic, highly intelligent, man of extreme Christian conviction, well, again, the Two Party system would wrongly say "too bad." Apparently, as Wal-Mart's own politically correct turn demonstrated, to be "strongly Christian" is a taboo now. And to think that George Washington prayed in Jesus' Name!
So, there we have it. LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE! Do not let a bunch of left-wingers control ABC, CBS and the Wall Street Journal! Similarly, do not let a bunch of racists and abortionists hi-jack the Party of Judeo-Christian America, the G.O.P.
Instead, SPEAK UP and elect someone who actually has a VISION for a NEW and BETTER AMERICA under the explicit LORDSHIP of JESUS CHRIST!
Love in Jesus,
Rob J King 08 ("testing the waters" if the Republican Party will begin listening to its CHRISTIAN VOTERS . . .)
