	Alexis de Tocqueville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He went as far as openly advocating racial segregation between the European colonists and the "Arabs" through the implementation of two different legislative systems (half a century before its effective implementation with the 1881 Indigenous code).
		In Democracy in America (1835), Alexis de Tocqueville praised the New World and the democracy it would bring, while at the same time warning against the dangers of tyranny of the majority and what he called 'mild' despotism.
		A critic of individualism, Alexis de Tocqueville thought that association, the coming together of people for common purpose, would bind Americans to an idea of nation larger than selfish desires, thus making a civil society which wasn't exclusively dependent of the state.

	Alexis de Tocqueville
		Alexis de Tocqueville (July 29, 1805 - April 16, 1859) was a French political thinker and historian.
		Alexis de Tocqueville once observed that it is easier for the world to accept a simple lie than a complex truth.
		There are at the present time two great nations in the world — I allude to the Russians and the Americans — All other nations seem to have nearly reached their national limits, and have only to maintain their power; these alone are proceeding — along a path to which no limit can be perceived.

	Pourquoi Pas? » George Bush: Closet Francophile
		DeTocqueville was a French political thinker who traveled extensively around America in the early 1800s and wrote famously of his perceptions of the U.S. in a two-volume set entitled Democracy In America.
		De Tocqeville’s opinions seem to be quite the opposite of Bush’s statements (not that Bush’s statements mean anything, since his statements are just the sales & marketing end of the neocon government).
		All I can say is, whoever coached him to deliver this “DeTocqueville” line must be thrilled that he pronounced the name correctly on television.
