Why would we want Middle Eastern countries to establish democracies
when the United States is a republic not a democracy?


Obviously, I am just having fun here at the expense of freepers, but if you have ever had a freeper use the line, "the US is a republic not a democracy," here is a way you can respond. Just stand far enough back so that you don't get any brains all over you when their heads explode.

2. That is just yet another contemptible Bushevik lie anyway
They don't like Democracry, ESPECIALLY in the Empire, because the inferiors keep making stupid decisions, like wanting dcenet healthcare for everyone or a living wage.

As the Filthy Little Nobodies keep making "mistakes" in their voting, the Busheviks, in an act of noblesse oblige, fixed it for them.

As little use as the Busheviks have for democracy in Imperial Amerika, where the ways of the Old Republic are stumbling blocks to Straussian types who believe "the only legitimate rule is the superior over the inferior" (an actual Strauss quote)...

...does anyone outside the propgandized ranks of the Imperial Subjects of Amerika actually believe this?!?

Of course not.
