But, it is a fact.
Again, your response is not based in fact. Show me someone sane who REALLY wants true mob rule?
What I am saying is that when you say something that amounts to "anyone who is in favor of democracy is un-American", you are going to insult some people. A lot of people out there think they are in favor of democracy. Probably the majority of Americans. Those same people probably think they are pro-American. If you mean to have a political science discussion about what "democracy" means, then by all means, have that discussion. But when you make a simple statement in black and white drawing a battle line between groups of people, you are going to insult some people.
