"... they take alarm at the voice of the majority.
"In that voice it is the people that they hear; it is the people that
they fear; it is democracy that they fear. Is that putting the matter
too strongly? Numerous books and articles in recent years have raised
alarums about an impending "theocracy." It would seem that their
authors are, in fact, alarmed by a democratic discourse in which all
arguments are in play in the deliberation of how we ought to order our
life together". [RJ Neuhaus FIRST THINGS OCT 2008]
