America's Founding Fathers set up a Constitutional Republic to avoid the grotesque spectacle we are witnessing today. But thanks to President Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt, that Constitutional Republic has ended and we now live in a mob-rule Democracy.

Indeed, even the Ancient Greeks understood that unbridled Democracy is the worst form of government.
