Below are the 14 Commandments for Democrats. After years of exhaustive archaeological digging they were recently discovered in ancient Greek archives dating back, pending carbon dating for certitude, to approximately the 4th Century BC. They promise to revolutionize our democracy by, at long last, organizing our participation in a meaningful way. Sadly, most Democrats have become accustomed to participating in our democracy by merely venting their feelings. This of course leads no where except to huge numbers of people screaming or venting or ranting at each other and then electing politicians who do the same thing. In this process, truth becomes a casualty.

The Democratic Commandments offer a rational methodology with which to approach democracy. Not surprisingly, it resembles the method used in modern courtrooms throughout Western Civilization, which also had their origins in ancient Greece. In the future, when you have political intercourse with a Democrat you can say, for example "you're violating C2", i.e., Commandment Two. Because the method is so simple, in time, Democrats will know before they speak or write, much like Pavlovian dogs, which Commandment they are about to violate. Not only is the method simple, but so are the Commandments. They are simple enough to almost guarantee that even the most emotional, rant prone Democrat will question why on earth he is irrelevantly venting his fact free, silly feelings in the course of a political debate. So, if you're a Democrat please keep the Commandments in mind before you speak or write, in the interest of truth and to avoid the embarrassment of public training. If you are a Republican, use the Commandments freely as the most efficient way to train Democrats.

Training them for democracy works best when it is simple, consistent, and very focused; the Commandments make this possible for the first time ever. Below please find your free copy of The Democratic Commandments...

The Democratic Commandments:

Thou shalt realize:

1) Democracy is a fact-based debate;

2) Feelings are not facts;

3) Meaningful conclusions come from facts, not feelings;

4) Personal attacks or psychological smears do not establish or change relevant facts;

5) Fear of debate means your position is weak; not that you are above debating or democracy;

6) Feelings-based politics only encourages 30 second TV commercials;

7) A debate is won only when you have asked a question that cannot be answered;

8) Our Constitution is based on freedom from government;

9) Democrats do not believe in the American concept of freedom;

10) Freedom has made America the greatest country in history;

11) Too much government has made all other countries throughout history worse, or deadly;

12) Democrats should be outlawed or reformed as a threat to freedom and to humanity;

13) American values must be promoted around the world to save the world;

14) government must promote religious values as the basis of the Constitution and the human soul.
