The Federalist papers were actually a discussion of Central versus state powers. Howere they did discuss"democracy" and equated it with "mobocracy" and rejected "democracy" in favor of republic. Yes the 8th grade version of stories does talk about Socrates. But they fail to mention that he supported dictatorship over populist adult franchise--for which he was put to death. Rememebr the poisond chalice story. Athens, over extended in the perpetual Poleponesian wars could not sustain itself and got taken over by Sparta--ending "democracy" of the city state. But all this too much knowledge for those sho cannot read and simply parrot 8th grade textbooks. If you had read the article you would have seen this in the article itself.

For one, fascism and Nazism had been thoroughly beaten by the late 40s: 1945 to be specific. But more importantly "democracy" was not coined in the 1940s and certainly not in the U.S.A. but rather sometime in the 5th or 6th century B.C. in Greece! Oh, and Chomsky's take on Madison as some sort of Machiavellian, anti-democrat is egregiously wrong. Please read the Federalist Papers and familiarize yourself with their history and that of the context in which they were written to see how wrong old Noam is.

The big ship called America. Best ship in the World. But those republican guys, who have been at the helm for the past 8 years, have steered us all in the wrong direction. Half of the passengers saw the storm in front of us years ago, while the other half just blindly trusted their lead. They kept telling everybody theres gold just beyond the horizon, dont worry trust us. Everyone that tried to say somthing got labeled a traitor, and accused of hating the great ship America. The other ships warned them not to go in this direction years ago too, they got told the same thing. Weve lost over 4000 good men, and are runnig low on rashions. Its going to take forever to get us back into calm waters. I think its time to make them walk the plank, so we can turn this ship around, before we all go down. Its time for liberals to take the helm. OBAMA 08 by scorpi2000 May 17, 2008 at 12:25 am I LOVE THIS BIG SHIP CALLED AMERICA / THE PROBLEM IS WHO’S AT THE HELM
