Uploaded by: BVMTValternative Video Description:
One of the most fascinating and enigmatic -- if not the most successful -- singer/songwriters of the late '60s, Leonard Cohen has retained an audience across four decades of music-making interrupted by various digressions into personal and creative exploration, all of which have only added to the mystique surrounding him. Second only to Bob Dylan (and perhaps Paul Simon), he commands the attention of critics and younger musicians more firmly than any other musical figure from the 1960s who is still working at the outset of the 21st century, which is all the more remarkable an achievement for someone who didn't even aspire to a musical career until he was in his thirties.
True, it is a Republic. Also true you have no class. It was set up as a Republic because those attending the Constitutional Conventions had no confidence that people, perhaps like yourself, had not the interest nor insight to make an informed decision through a popular vote. Lincoln lost the popular vote. Benjamin Franklin said when asked, that, "We have a Republic, if you can keep it". Can you, oh guru of finite wisdom, that so willingly dismisses others as "fools" awaken to the "coming"?

Students of political science can tell you that the USA was set up as a representative democratic republic. "Republic" means that the source of sovereignty is the people - not a monarch - but the government can be democratic or not. China is a Republic. England is not. Representative democracy means that instead of Athenian style direct democracy, the people elect representatives. The people who spread the "America is a Republic not a Democracy" line are mostly wannabe fascists. Heil Cheney.

Typical Sociopath Lying Liberal. Always trying to infect our Freedom with your poisoned Collectivist Philosophy. America is a REPUBLIC first and foremost where its reps are democratically elected. The Constitution is a document created out of the Philosophy of Individualism to protect the Sovereign from your constant demand upon the people for Altruistic Sacrifice to the Collective !
