They clearly have a fierce ideological hatred against the word, the dictionary clearly has to be rewritten to meet it. They can write a fierce email and complain about how 'unfair' it is, America has a democratic government, it is a republic however. Republic =/= A government without democracy, also the Founders =/= Unquestionable Gods.
Now show us in the Constitution where the word is used?
Don't bother. It isn't there numbskull.
And for a good reason...
From federalist 10:
From this view of the subject it may be concluded that a pure democracy, by which I mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. A common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication and concert result from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual. Hence it is that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths. Theoretic politicians, who have patronized this species of government, have erroneously supposed that by reducing mankind to a perfect equality in their political rights, they would, at the same time, be perfectly equalized and assimilated in their possessions, their opinions, and their passions.
Indeed. They knew a pure Democracy was nothing short of mob rule and anarchy was the next step.
We are a Republic based upon rule of law...not the whims of men.
