No, it's not.

"Democracy is majority rule and that means the biggest group gets the power, screw the smaller group." ...

"Right now, the only thing stopping the USA from becoming a theocracy is the bill of rights."

Do you really think that little piece of paper called the Bill of Rights has been protecting you? It hasn't. It's the people that have stood behind that piece of paper. Up to this point, that has been a majority of Americans.

However, we now have a minority of anti-democratic neo-cons that have taken over this country and are preaching that they are now the "majority" and that they have a "mandate". They may have gotten more votes but that does not mean they have a "majority" or a "mandate". It means they have won a phony election and are using it to declare they speak for the people. They have stolen the "power" from the people. And they don't give a damn about that little piece of paper you think has been protecting you.
