 The US was never a democracy.  It was founded as a Republic.  Democracy is an awful form of government, recognized as such since at least Plato, and explicitly rejected by the American founders.  God set up several forms of government of Israel, beginning with the Patriarchy (the real thing in Genesis), then servitude (Egypt after Joseph), then Constitutional Anarchy (Law of Moses), then Constitutional Monarchy (Moses provided for an eventual king), and the final Kingdom will be Christ as absolute ruler of the world.  All other wanna be world rulers (including US neocons) are anti-christs.

Democracy: two wolves and a lamb voting on what's for dinner
