Democracy is tyranny. Liberty and the rule of law just mean government is minimised so as to be in submission to God's laws. NATO doesn't stand for anything but "Democracy" which sucks

Democracy is merely making decisions via the vote of the people. It has thousands of forms, from pure to regulated, and is an umbrella term for many different types of democracy, including republic as a sort of intersecting system. A republic tends to have a relatively similar definition to representative democracy, though regulations against abuse of power and wide decisions that discriminate against the minority very much do exist. Democracy is not a liberty killer, with regulations against itself, it works perfectly fine with the presupposed liberty. NATO is a group of big nations who merely support one another militarily in a confederacy-style system.
Democracy means majority rule. Whatever the majority says, goes. The reason I don't believe in democracy is because government should be confined to maintaining a military, a police, and courts to punish criminals and protect property, and the people will often vote for more than that minimum. I am a minarchist, and democracy allows for unlimited government expansion.
