America needs theocracy

[Creative Vikings]

Yes I completely agree, we NEEEED a theocracy, God has been really obvious, we need to stop our ways. I clap to the person who made this thread .

Bro, where are all your posts at?

[Mike the Progressive]

Who doesn't?

I mean democracy is such a great thing, isn't it? Enslaving and later segregating blacks. Denying women the right to property and to vote. Banning minarets in Switzerland. Refusing to grant equal rights for homosexuals and lesbians? And not to mention it killed that no good prick Socrates.

So indeed, direct democracy ftw!

Wow! It was democracy that led to slavery and refusing women to vote and not racism and sexism? And homophobes aren't being bigots, they're just thinking democratically? And the Constitutional amendments outlawing slavery and giving women votes WEREN'T democratic? The more you know!

Back to the topic at hand, yeah it's an obvious troll. I say this as a guy who constantly falls for trolls too.

Democracy, very simply, is the wants of the majority, that is 51% or more. So yes, yes, it did.

California is fine too, but it will start to break away from the USA once a GOPer wins the Presidency in 2016.

Texas can't even get succession and it has a lot more energy in it's move went than California has in it's non-existent movement.

Texas is even worse than California, except for Austin, when it comes to their attitudes towards LGBT people. And yet, it's quite easy to own a gun there.

At least they're one of the fastest-growing states in America.

But what about a race where he is opposed by 4 other candidates and he wins a majority of 39%?

It is a fact that the Texas secession movement has more energy than the California secession movement. I'm not sure how Texas' gun control/LGBT rights are relevent to it seceding.

Why does Texas suck? Hmm?

Majority is 50% +1.
A 39% victory would be a plurality.

Not talking about an election. I'm talking about the popular wants of people, which included wanting slavery, wanting women to not have equal rights, wanting gays to not have equal rights, wanting Muslims to not have equal rights and the list goes on. Democracy is probably one of the most abhorrent forms of government.

Most Texans don't want to secede.

Can't you people get it right? The word is secession.

Because of Rick Perry.

We know, but more Texans than Californians want to secede.

The politicians suck. Texas would be an even better place if all the Christian fundies left.

That's like saying New York sucks because of Michael Bloomberg.

What's with all this talk about secession? I live in the most separatist place in North America and you don't see us threatening to leave the Confederation with ragequitting every time we elect an idiot at the federal level.

And yet, despite being run by them, Texas is still fairly well run.

Those aren't really democracies. They only allow a portion of the population to show their opinions, since the other portions are restricted by law. Besides, it is quite obvious that dictatorships generally do worse than democracies at the whole 'being a wealthy and successful nation' thing in the modern age.

That's your opinion. I don't believe that.

Booming economy, state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage (yet there isn't persecution of gays. Look at that) and no state funding of abortion. All good.

Booming economy... And? No? Nothing else? Okay.

^{Must resist urge to make this a gay marraige/abortion thread.}
