http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/republicFunny. Blind patriotism is a sign of insecurity, rather than strength. The reason why Democrats and the Center Left/Left don't go mad with flag waving and 'patriotic' events is because America can only be a free and democratic society so long as citizens are aware and informed, rather than just blindly support their country.
Tyranny has always come from the flag waving crowd, who never question their country even if it does something terribly wrong.
If not waving a flag, or saying you love America every time on television is viewed as a bad thing, then the true republic is on its last legs. Loving America isn't waving flags or saying you love it, but believing in liberty and justice for all, whether they are American or from another country.
We were not founded go be democratic. .. that's your problem right there you don't know what form of government we are founded on.

My kid leaves for Parris Island in three weeks. He's definitely a liberal and he definitely loves this country. Fuck off.
If the Left loved the country they wouldn't always want to fundamentally change it would they? They want a Socialist democracy that will inevitably turn into the fascist socialist state because that's just what Socialism is where as the rest of us wish to keep our constitutional republic.
We can go a long way to saving this country by repealing the 16th and 17th amendment. Take income tax away from the government and stop electing senators.

Might you explain to us how a democratic government - a rule of the people - does not amount to a "tyranny of the majority"?
Thank you kindly.

Curious how when it suits them, that Republicans will proclaim we live in a democracy, as if a vote of 51% justifies legislation banning same-sex marriage. Then the next minute when a minority like LGBT or non-Christians oppose it, Republicans proclaim it as a republic, as if it is an justifiable excuse to deny rights and discriminate. The justification doesn't work of course, the supreme court sees through it.
Unless you believe that everyone is a collective of automatons (rather than a group of individuals), a tyranny of the majority is established when most of eligible voters (in most cases a simple majority) undermine the rights and freedoms of others, and the said minority has not consented to such treatment.
Democracy isn't inherently a tyranny of the majority, anymore than people are inherently authoritarian. The checks and balances in the US work too well, there is political deadlock, and it is difficult to pass laws or get things done with the over the top bureaucracy.

I said the Roman Republic not the Roman Empire, and I didn't say that America is the Roman Republic, I said it was inspired and partly based on it. The Roman Republic was founded on laws that limited government i.e. the monarchy was overthrown and a republic was established.Like the roman republic, a limited sphere of democratic elections, is still democratic elections.

We were nothing like the Roman empire... we were a republic founded on set laws that limit the government. The Roman empire was still a empire that didn't limit the government. We are becoming more like them now because fools like yourself can't see the difference

Basically the Roman Republic, was a forebear of the modern republic today - as it reneged on establishing a full democracy* like Athens, instead favoring representation.The Constitution of the Roman Republic was a set of guidelines and principles passed down mainly through precedent.[1] The constitution was largely unwritten and uncodified, and evolved over time. Rather than creating a government that was primarily a democracy (as was ancient Athens), an aristocracy (as was ancient Sparta), or a monarchy (as was Rome before and, in many respects, after the Republic), the Roman constitution mixed these three elements, thus creating three separate branches of government.[2] The democratic element took the form of the legislative assemblies, the aristocratic element took the form of the Senate, and the monarchical element took the form of the many term-limited consuls.[3]
