You hit my pet peeve with a 50 cal!!! SHould be mandatory jail time or better yet hanging for any elected official to say we are a democracy....REPUBLIC! This country is a republic, not a democracy! We have rights guaranteed by the Constitution, that's the difference.
You have no rights in a democracy, because majority rules. We've all seen the meme where 2 wolves and 1 sheep are deciding what's for dinner. That's a democracy!
We live in a Republic!
edit: Even better we live in a CONSTITUTIONAL Republic.
Both of which the communists hate. Hence we see both "RINO" and Donkey never use the term Republic.
