JASON: This is really crucial vis-a-vis this debate over the filibuster, the Electoral College, H.R. 1, and all the rest. What we\u2019re seeing is the transformation of the country from a constitutional republic to a mob.<\/p>\n
Let me tell you, the word “democracy” is nowhere to be found in the Declaration of Independence nor in the Constitution because we are not a democracy. If that were the case, we\u2019d just hold up our finger. We don\u2019t even need representation. Everybody votes on every issue, and if you get 50.1%, you win and you can do whatever you want to the other 49.9%.<\/p>\n
That is not a filtered majority that is a republic. I want to continue with that next hour and Rush has got something to say on that as well. I mean, it\u2019s really crucial because that\u2019s what the left is trying to do, turn this into a country we would not recognize once again, and it\u2019s really true because… Well, Rush talked about the military a second ago and how important these troops are, and he\u2019s absolutely right.<\/p>\n
I mean, what was the old joke on the old Bob Newhart show? “I\u2019m not a veteran, but I sat through A Bridge Too Far.” That counts. Although it was a better movie than people gave it credit for. That was the old 1977 movie about the failed mission in World War II with Sean Connery and Gene Hackman and all the great stars, and it was actually a pretty good movie, but the joke was it was horrible and it was long.<\/p>\n
