I'm not one of these conservatives who believe freedom of speech gives anyone the right to burn our flag. I'm not a conservative who believes there is no such thing as treason or *treasonous statements. I'm a conservative who believes evil people will use our Constitutional rights to their advantage against us.I don't believe the A.C.L.U. represents the true intent of the Constitution. I don't believe the National Education Association wants to teach our children or represents all teachers. I don't believe the National Organization for Women represents all women. I don't believe La Raza represents all Mexicans. I don't believe the N.A.A.C.P. or P.U.S.H. represents all blacks. I don't believe environmental organizations like Greenpeace, The Sierra Club or Nature Conservancy or the National Resource Defense Council represent any part of this planet or are making any attempt to save anything, especially humans.I believe the leadership of these organizations represents an ideology with core values set in socialism. And for socialists, ideology is thicker than race, thicker than gender, thicker than sexual preference, thicker than the environment and definitely thicker than nationality.Socialists are loyal to likeminded races, likeminded gender, likeminded sexual preference, likeminded environmentalists and likeminded nationalities. Socialists are not loyal to our country; they use our Constitution to tear our country apart. In the case of environmental leadership, they are not loyal to our country, science or humanity Any American citizen who puts forth the idea that the United States of America should subordinate the American Constitution or any American citizen to the United Nations, International Court or any other organization does so without the consent of the Constitution or American citizens. Any fool who wants to subordinate us to a world order is a socialist.Since socialism is opposed to Capitalism and a complete free market as we were founded as a free Capitalistic Republic, socialism is UN-AMERICAN.In this NEW SECOND EDITION, Diaz has expanded the original book by adding a chapter and adding to others. He goes as far as suggesting amendments to our Constitution. This book is not a book updated to 2023, it remains a 2012 published book that has been added to and expanded as a Second Edition of the first book.

I originally came up with the idea for this short coffee table book of quotes back in 1993. I filed the quotes and commented on each one myself or added another person's writing for a few. Most comments are mine. I made copies and sent a shorter version to people I knew who would appreciate it. I have cited almost all the quotes, and anything I say in the comments is my opinion, whether it is cited or not. If you disagree with anything I say, you take the time to find your argument, I already satisfied my search for the answers over the 86 years of my life. You will notice the same sentence, statistic, or thought repeated in a few places. That's not a mistake; it is a point relevant to the quote I'm commenting on. I'm publishing it today, 2023, and I decided not to re-write it. While I did tweak it a bit, everything I said back then still applies today, and that's what makes it so interesting to me. These words were said, and most of you never heard it when it was said. The old saying about knowing our history is often attributed to the philosopher George Santayana and goes as follows: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." This book will take you to a time when the environmental, anti-population, anti-logging, and anti-nuclear gang were just getting started. They said things that will shock you. And you need to be shocked. Just keep it on your coffee table. When there is a lull in the conversation turn to any page. The conversation will warm up.

Written from the perspective of an American of Mexican descent who grew up as a child in the 1930s and 1940s, and as a teenager in the 1950s, and taught by a school system that still emphasized American history from the American viewpoint, Not a Democracy will probably be the last book Diaz will write, having authored three others under the name C. Howard Diaz. Diaz felt he needed to write this book to tie all the strings together about how to understand our Constitution by understanding the logic our Founders used when they created this marvelous document. The "Other Commentary" portions of this book are Diaz's comments on how these documents have been interpreted and misinterpreted. Mostly, misinterpreted.Diaz aims to take the complexity out of discussing our Constitution and Bill of Rights to give the reader a way of understanding these founding documents. There will be academics, scholars, intellectuals, and America haters who will disparage what he's written because he's oversimplified complex issues. But he, as an American with no degree, believes "complexity" is a tactic of tyrants, and degrees today are as equal to a high school diploma from those days.
