87% want tax increases

[Avorysuds]

why are you NOT insisting that we be called a federal republic?

Because the FF called us a Republic... And it has been that way for 200 years.

 

[Avorysuds]

TM, show where the constitution or the FF created a Democracy please. By name, not kinda sorta.

 

[Avorysuds]

under your same damned fucked up logic you are wrong too

No, I call it what the FF named us to be.

 

[Truthmatters]

A republic is a type of democracy you clown.

Its in the very defintions of the word

 

[Truthmatters]

Do you pretend the founders did NOT know the definitions of the words?

 

[naturegirl]

I honestly think the reason TM gets so bitchy about Democracy VS Republic is because Democracy sounds more like Democrat and Republic sounds more like Republican.

No, I’m not joking.

I believe you're right............she's gonna freak when she sees the Constitution calls us a Republican form of government!!

We are a Republic, the constitution and FF said so, I have proved this. Do you want to get back to the OP or continue trying to make the US a mob rule that hurts minorities?

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy ….”

She will still call it a Democracy as she does not care that she is wrong, only that she does not agree, based on.... who knows. I mean, it's only written in the constitution.

Yup. TM will not accept that many years ago she was predicted to happen. She can't deal with the fact that the prediction is people like her are the problem, not the solution.

That quote means if we migrate to the rule of mob as in a democracy, we are doomed. If you have it your way, we'll just be another Greece, Italy or France.

FF says we are a Republican form of government, not a democracy.
