Democracy, Lands Of The Free—Do Not Exist, In Canada, The United States Of The Americas, The “Western World”.~~Al (Alex-Alexander) D Girvan.

But do we really want them too?

We, Canadians, the citizens and taxpayers of CANADA want OUR country-- THE TRUE NORTH-- that is still strong and as free as it can be - in every way that really matters. Canada, still the very best COUNTRY in the world. Canadians are united by the core values. We, Canadians All, are honourable in our dealings, faithful in our commitments, and loyal to our friends. OUR, Governments, OUR Politicians, OUR Governments, of the “WESTERN WORLD “are not; and never were; government of the people, by the people, for the people.

Lincoln’s??? Famous Quote and ITS Stolen Inspiration: “We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”~~ President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865): The closing words of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, delivered on November 19, 1863 (as recorded in the “Hay Copy” of the speech stored at the Library of Congress, one of five written versions)

As noted in The Quote Verifier and other sources, Lincoln’s phrase “government by the people, for the people” is the best known use of the of/by/for the people formula, but Lincoln probably adapted his version from a similar phrase used in the 1850s by abolitionist preacher Theodore Parker. During the early months of the Civil War, Lincoln’s law partner William Herndon gave the president a book of Parker’s sermons and speeches. It included a sermon titled “The Effect of Slavery on the American People,” which Parker delivered at the Music Hall in Boston, Massachusetts on July 4, 1858.

 In that sermon, Parker said: “Democracy is direct self-government for all the people, by all the people.” According to Herndon, Lincoln marked those words in his copy before he wrote the Gettysburg Address. Parker had used a similar line in earlier sermons and speeches. For example, in a speech he gave in Boston on May 29, 1850, Parker defined democracy as “a government of all the people, by all the people, and for all the people.” However, the of/for/by the people formulation was not coined by Parker either. Some older uses — and some later variations — are shown below.

DANIEL WEBSTER’S PRECURSOR: “It is, Sir, the people’s government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people. The people of the United States have declared that this Constitution shall be the supreme law.”~~Daniel Webster (1782-1852) ~United States of the Americas lawyer, politician, orator and statesman: Discussing the limitations of state’s rights and the supremacy of federal law in his Second Speech on Foote’s Resolution” in the U.S. Senate, on January 26, 1830.

AN IRONIC—NOW PROVEN TRUE, COUNTLESS TIMES- VARIATION BY LINCOLN’S DEBATE FOE: “In my opinion this government of ours is founded on the white basis. It was made by the white man, for the benefit of the white man, to be administered by white men, in such a manner as they should determine.” ~~Stephen A. Douglas (1813-1861) United States of the Americas, Democratic politician; Congressman for Illinois from 1843 to 1847

OSCAR WILDE’S QUIPS: “All modes of government are failures. Despotism is unjust to everybody...Oligarchies are unjust to the many, and ochlocracies are unjust to the few. High hopes were once formed of democracy; but democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.” ~~ In his essay “The Soul of Man under Socialism,” first published in the Fortnightly Review, February 1891Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Irish writer, poet, wit, and intellect.

 CHRISTOPHER MORLEY’S VERSION: “The government of the United States of the Americas is still a government of the naive, for the naive, and by the naive. He who does not know this, nor relish it, has no inkling of the nature of his country.”~~Christopher Morley (1890-1957) United States of the Americas journalist, novelist, essayist and poet-In his now OUT OF COPY RIGHT/ PUBLIC DOMAIN book Inward Ho! (1923).

LORD BUCKLEY’S HIPSTER VERSION: “We here want it stuck up straight for all to dig that these departed studs shall not have split in vain; that this nation, under the great swingin’ Nazz, shall ring up a whopper of endless Mardi Gras, and that the Big Law of you straights, by you studs, and for you kitties, shall not be scratched from the big race.”~~ Lord Buckley (1906-1960) United States of the Americas-entertainer known for telling stories using the hipster slang of black jazz musicians and beatniks. The quote above is from Lord Buckley’s “hipster version” of the Gettysburg Address

BILL CLINTON’S GAFFE: “The last time I checked, the Constitution said ‘of the people, by the people and for the people.’  That’s what the Declaration of Independence says.”~~Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States of the Americas.- Comment made in remarks attacking conservative Republicans for being unreasonably anti-government, after his Second Presidential Debate with Sen. Robert Dole in October 1996. The statement generated news and snickers in the following weeks because Clinton was astoundingly wrong about the source. It comes from the Gettysburg Address and does not appear in either the U.S. Constitution or Declaration of Independence.

There are still some who claim or attempt to claim that; “HarperPAC is a group of concerned Canadians looking to fight back Against The Flood Of Big Union Money That Has Been Earmarked “To Take Down The Harper Government”. You know like Imperial Oil, the United States of the Americas based corporation; which bought Stephen Harper and placed him; as Canada’s Prime Ad-Minister-is- Trader in the first place.

Actually, the New pro-Conservative ‘PAC’ launches PROPAGANDA ad campaign blasting Justin Trudeau, aims to fight unions. ~~Al (Alex-Alexander) D Girvan.
