		<description><![CDATA[Over the weekend, I was reading some of the Federalist Papers. In particular, I was reading Madison&#8217;s Federalist Paper XXXIX, which discusses whether the proposed Constitution would create a national government, basically a democracy where the majority rules, or a federal government, where the government in broken down into a &#8220;confederacy of sovereign States&#8221;.

It&#8217;s considered taboo to say anything bad about democracies, but we were not founded as a democracy, which is why our government was supposed to be extremely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With that said, I do have a problem with the remaining arguments in Mr. Frank's article. To say that conservatives are claiming we are marching secretly to communism or fascism, and that somehow that is nuts, should highlight how the intellectuals among us are so blinded by their supposed brilliance. Apparently, the government take over of our largest financial, automotive, and soon to be newspaper institutions is of no concern to Mr. Frank. That is just silly talk. So what if the government controls them, and they say what is going to happen in the market place. How is that communism or fascism?]]></description>
