Democracy must always come first (#1603)

Our politicians must have only one major priority at all times and that is to defend and promote our democratic form of government. The purpose of which is to form a more perfect union and to open up opportunities for all Americans and even all citizens of the world to pursue happiness. That no harm is done to oneself or others should be the golden rule by which we determine policies and how they are implemented. There is no other structured institution or philosophy that may overrule the concepts of democracy. We are all joined in a society of our choosing based upon factors of heritage and birthright. When the ideals of democracy are filtered through all proposals by which we govern ourselves we are insured of equality, fairness and justice. These are the noble attributes by which we should all be called upon to emulate as aspirations. The fact that our current system of democracy is warped by rulings and laws that favor privilege and nefarious intent is why I must write this post. We have allowed our society to be corrupted by those who do not hold democratic principles as their guiding light, instead they have notions of their own that do not align with the intent of our society's betterment as a whole. Our pursuits of happiness are now more illusion than reality as we have had to scale back our possibilities due to lessening and lessening opportunities. The only way to right what is wrong in our current political structure is to cleanse it of the ill thinking and legal policies that have allowed advantage for some over the right for all.
