“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” Our forefathers studied all forms of government around the world before establishing America as a constitutional republic. Nowhere in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, or the original Bill of Rights will you find the term “democracy”. The last president who openly referred to our country as a constitutional republic was Harry S. Truman. George Herbert Walker Bush, during his presidency, referred to the creation of a “New World Order” over 225 times. Al Gore, vice president during Bill Clinton's presidency, is currently calling for “global governance”. A clandestine war is being waged against the United States of America, and a metamorphosis from a constitutional republic to a democracy in the thinking of the people is necessary in order to accomplish the transition. The public school system in the United States is a tool to control the thinking of future generations. I refer to this tool as social engineering. The individual rights that we all share in a constitutional republic cannot be assimilated into the global “New World Order”.

The United States is not a “world-altering democracy”. It is a constitutional republic as established by our founders and stated in the Pledge of Allegiance as “…to the Republic for which it stands”. A constitutional republic guarantees individual rights regardless of the majority's whims. Even though Bush, Sr., Clinton, Bush, Jr. and Obama try to tell us we are a “democracy”, that doesn't change the fact that we are not. John Quincy Adams, the sixth President of the United States from 1825 to 1829 stated, “The experience of all former ages has shown that of all human governments, democracy was the most unstable, fluctuating and short-lived.” In 1787 after the signing of the Constitution as the framers were leaving the hall, a lady stepped forward and asked Benjamin Franklin, “What have you given us, Sir?”, and Franklin replied, “A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it.” Our forefathers despised democracy and guaranteed to the future generations of America a constitutional republic. I would have thought that a person who spent 40 years in public education and was responsible for teaching the truth of our nation's history to the children in her care would have known such an important fact about the country of her birth.
