		The failures of Democracy were ascribed by the right wing to America's departure from the religious morality of the past, when in truth those failures were due to the inherent unfairness and injustice of post-World War II greed-driven capitalism.

	Leach Democracy Speech
		In a Jeffersonian context it is revolutionary to assume that governments derive their power and legitimacy from—and only from—the consent of the governed.
		I stress for a moment that the Jeffersonian model is more revolutionary than that provided by Marxist or extremist Muslim dogma because the hallmark of the right to revolt in natural rights theory is the establishment of constitutional democracies capable of channeling change without coercion.
		Democracy implies a political process—preferable to all others—but it is not a guarantor of good judgment.

	http://www.qando.net/ - Culture and Democracy
		Democracy is a proven technological solution to the problems of national governance, and the people of the region, given the chance, won’t hestate to shuck off tired customs to reach for it.
		Democracies end up being more peaceful because "most people" are not willing to risk their own necks in the pursuit of an ideal, dictatorships are more violent because "most people" are safely ignored.
		Given that these nations/cultures had neither a tradition of democracy, nor of political freedom, nor of a free press, the fact that they are able to become democracies suggests, in fact, that there is nothing inherently wrong, counterproductive, or doomed to failure about bringing Jeffersonian democracy to what are, essentially, closed, autocratic political cultures.

		OPPONENTS OF continued U.S engagement in Iraq frequently describe what they say is the misguided illusion that "Jeffersonian democracy" can be established in that country.
		Yet it's anything but realistic to portray democracy as a system that only works when it is pure.
		Not only was Jefferson's democracy not entirely democratic (just ask African Americans and women), but the modern world is replete with examples of partially democratic countries -- and in most cases, their governments are better and their people freer than in the nondemocratic world.

		Once democracy became an anathema to the world of Islam, autocrats like the late King Fahad of Saudi Arabia could make a silly statement to the effect that democracy was not part of the culture of Islam.

		Democracy truly believes in the rule of the people, in their wisdom, in their common sense, in their common honesty, in their justice, in their patience and steadfastness, in their right and ability to govern themselves.
		Its greatest patron saint was Thomas Jefferson, who stood for freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of opportunity, the education of the people by free schools, and the right of every citizen to vote.
		On these principles Jeffersonian Democracy took control of the government in 1801, and held it for many decades.

		They had increased extensively during the decade of democracy from quite a low level in the first place thanks to those neo-liberal programs, agri-export programs, that were pushed by U.S. aid and U.S. advisers and unprecedented U.S. aid which led to an unprecedented human disaster as everyone can see it's on all sides.
		Policy is insulated from politics now that we've brought democracy to Poland." Well democracy was brought to Honduras too so however the population votes the neo-liberal policies that have brought misery and destruction and the economic miracle as this is called technically will go on.
		But if you believe in democracy, well that means that the people who voted for him (the overwhelming majority of the population) have a right to a five-year president.

	Essay V: 1800-1848
		Tocqueville confessed that, when he looked at the United States, he sought the image and the essence of democracy, a political and social condition of equality that, he believed, all European nations and societies were fast approaching.
		From today's perspective, the question is, "Democracy for whom?" Tocqueville agreed, for example, that America faced a serious and growing threat from the problematic relations among "the white, fl, and red races" - Europeans, African-Americans, and Indians.
		Finally, although Jeffersonian Republicans celebrated the growing democracy of America, they still conceived of politics and governance as concerns reserved for the educated, well-bred elite; the great body of the people were relegated to the role of appreciative observers who, at election time, would reward virtuous and public-spirited officials with re-election.

		It is an arrogant and distant caricature of Jeffersonian democracy.
		First: Democracy must empower and enable citizens to obtain timely and accurate information from their government, enable citizens to band together in civic associations in pursuit of a just society, and communicate their judgments through modern technology.
		Ninth: Shareholders, who are the owners of companies, should not have their assets wasted or worker morale victimized by executives who give themselves huge salaries, bonuses, greenmail, and golden parachutes, self-perpetuating boards of directors, and a stifling of the proxy voting system to block shareholder voting reforms.

		Failure to understand and consistently uphold the Jeffersonian road map to global democratic progress by both conservative and radical movements throughout the last two centuries can help to explain the nature and causes of continuing conflict both on an international and national scale.
		Second, further development of democratic participation beyond the existing parameters of liberal democracy in the direction of Athenian levels of citizen participation, aimed, in particular, at superseding the influence of faction.
		Jefferson plainly stated his view that Athenian democracy had indicated the direction towards which democratic progress should aspire, and concrete steps to develop and apply the practice of sortition would conform to the requirements of a consistently Jeffersonian approach.

		Convinced that the infusion of democracy into the Middle East would be of benefit to all, U.S. President George W. Bush announced an old, new doctrine that has come to define his administration.
		Although Bush remains committed to the idea of bringing democracy to the Middle East, particularly in Iraq, where the United States is mired in what seems like an unwinnable insurgency, he now probably realizes that it could be inimical to the interests of the United States and its regional allies.
		But the sad truth is that democracy may elevate and legitimize politicians who will try to sweep away secular institutions, demonize Israel and the West and destabilize the region.

		The first World War did not make the world safe for democracy and left a divided, arbitrarily colonized world, an embittered Germany exploitable by a semi-demented demagogue, with his cousin in dangerousness in control of Russia.
		Nonetheless, these less than maximal results were better than the alternatives, and satisficed to move the world toward a better situation, including the seeds of longer-term closer to maximal results emerging out of their aftermaths.
		In Iraq today, the results are far from Jeffersonian democracy, but a semi-sectarian, semi-nationalist democracy is emerging.

	Controversial Middle East scholar addresses democracy in lecture - Campus Watch
		He noted that the crucial step in a nation's move to democratize is the placing of restrictions on the existing autocratic regime, manifested, for example, in a constitution.
		It is this misconception of democracy, a misconception of Islam, and "the worst authoritarian regimes outside of the former USSR," such as Libya, Syria, and Saudi Arabia that have complicated the dialogues on Middle Eastern democracy, Khalidi said.
		This "height of liberalism" was followed by the post-World War II "height of European interference," which Khalidi pointed to as a specific reason for the failure of democracy in the Middle East today.

		The Jeffersonian Republican rise to power represented a shift from the northeastern “mercantile aristocracy” to a southern “agrarian aristocracy.” Nevertheless, President Thomas Jefferson maintained his own idealistic perspective on the operation of government which favored “strong local governments to check monarchial trends in the national government.
		The outcome of the case, as brought before the Supreme Court of the United States (the opinion was written by Chief Justice John Marshall), was that the Supreme Court had the power to declare certain acts of Congress unconstitutional.
		The Jeffersonians saw land not as a resource to bring income to the federal government (as did the Federalists), but as a means to open lands up for settlement.
