The Way Democracy Dies: We need to teach our kids Civics. They need to learn more about how our government works. As Donald Trump most assuredly does not understand. He is not a serious person, but an entertainer. Former Supreme Court Justice Souter said this 4 years ago: "I fear for our democracy when the people are so ignorant about self-government, about how it works. Some one person will come forth and say, "Give me total power and I will solve your problems." The people will give up their power to govern themselves if they are ignorant of how to rule themselves. Benjamin Franklin said: "Here's your Constitution, if you can keep it". He was very afraid that we are losing that knowledge as a nation. Canton School Committee, please see to it that all our children in all the grades learn about Civics, about self-government.

I recall a clip of Obama telling a Latino audience he wished he could bypass congress and just enact laws. The room cheered.

Soon as the libs back off the first and second, we can talk.

Actually, I think the most important thing to teach kids these days beyond the basics is how to tell truth from propaganda.  And, when in doubt, how to research and figure it out.

This person's speech, being a case in point.

There has always been a fear that the unwashed masses would use pure democracy as a way to gain power in a populist way. That's why we have the electoral college and checks and balances in government. Not to far off from the polish form of government of 1300's. They had upper and lower houses and royals were in what we have as president. Democracy should be messy, facism is neat.

Fuck..another one.

Living in Fantasyland: Guess what folks!!! Those overseas jobs are NEVER coming back, no matter what either Trump or Hilary do . ROBOTS: that's the invention that will take manufacturing jobs from the Chinese who took American jobs. We must teach our children how to think analytically, to invent new technology, which robots can't do completely. I had to teach college Math and Computer Science for Teledyne Brown, because our American college grads we were hiring weren't able to do the job. They couldn't do root cause analysis, peeling away the layers of ignorance from a DoD RFP and posing the problem in quantitative terms. So we hired Indians, Pakistanis, highly skilled workers from overseas. Get your kids to join "Problem Solvers" in Canton schools to help obtain the background they will need. They have those groups from grammar school right through high school. Taking a programming language only helps you for a year or so, but learning how to define a problem or project will help you in any job. We in Ma. have the lowest unemployment rate of any state: that's one reason.

LOL, love the way that libtards think the US 'democracy' will die... when their party is the one that hates the Constitution, hates our rights, hates our culture and wants to destroy it all... and elects clearly corrupt individuals, and readily and freely cedes more and more power to the government to satiate the desire to live as perpetual children, being cared for by a parent figure.

The GOP isn't doing much better... totally abandoning small government principles for the "let's do the huge government, just with US at the helm!"

Apparently he really means Clinton but doesn't even know it.

Trump isn't asking for more power, he's trying to preserve the power of his nation, not necessarily it's government.

The hildabeast is spouting off about the power she intents to grab.  Its central to her globalist shithead mentality.

Also, while we are teaching kids civics, let's let the author know that we are a Republic, not a democracy.

He's right.   What are you going to do?

Run out in a temper tantrum and start shooting the place up?  Commit acts of violence?

Who are you going to fight?    The man in the street or the political establishment and a corrupt media who conspired to defraud the American people?

What are you going to do when the police and other law enforcement agencies come to restore order?  Are you going to kill them?

You'd be the bogeyman form the second you start and would vindicate everything that harridan and her cohort of corruption has been doing from day one.

There's a lot of chest thumping bullshit on this forum but if people really think about what it involves, then you know Civil War is not going to happen.
