Newest Insanity From CNN - It's a Conspiracy Theory to Say That America is a Republic and Not a Democracy (VIDEO) | The Gateway ...
The United States of America is a constitutional republic, but don’t say that to anyone at CNN or they might label you a conspiracy theorist.
Very basic explanation:
A democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what's for dinner. (This is where the "tyranny of the majority" concept comes in.)
In a CONSTITUTIONAL republic - the baby lamb has rights.
The Constitution of the United States of America is the supreme law of the land. ANY law (whether it be federal, state or local) that contradicts the Constitution is REPUGNANT to the Constitution and therefore, itself illegal. (The US has many, many laws that are actually illegal laws.)
This is why it's imperative for all Americans to understand their constitutionally guaranteed rights. Note the distinction here. The Constitution doesn't give you rights. They are 'inalienable' rights that you were given by your Creator, at conception. (some would argue, birth) The Constitution merely guarantees your rights. Our founders presumed from the start that these rights were automatic, from God. And they created a form of government to guarantee you would enjoy those rights.
One of the saddest things in the history of the world is that American people were given something no other people had ever been given in the history of our world ... and they ignored it, forgot about it, took it for granted. So many Americans are absolutely clueless about the amazing document we know as the Constitution. ALL patriots should endeavor to study it, because it literally stands for the difference between life and death, slavery or freedom.
That's a beautiful explanation. Thank you.
Sad, because up into the 60s, every grade schooler knew this.
Low iq and low info voters think we live in a democracy. Its that simple. And they are trying to ruffle their feathers
AND TO THE REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS
I agree we have a republic. I just can't understand why they are pushing "democracy" so hard.
A democracy is 51% oppressing 49 %.
A constitutional republic protects the minority and is very hard to change,if we elect good honest people.
Thank you
Do you know what the difference is between liberty and freedom?

The founders always talked about liberty not freedom for a reason.
Thank you. Good point.
Spend some time with Google, they explane the difference themselves. They were not fans of democracy or freedom.
Because they want to pick the President by popular vote rather than through the Electoral College.
All democracies end in tyranny. Once the majority figures out they can vote themselves benefits at the expense of the minority the country is over.
(from an earlier post:) It's a constitutional republic. If it were a "democracy", the country would be destroyed in a generation because the country would be run by the large cities and the rural and suburban areas' votes would have no influence in elections. "Democracy" is a liberal buzzword used to manipulate citizens into accepting progressive policies. We were founded as a constitutional republic. It's important that citizens understand and are willing to fight to preserve this.
Yeah I got tired of pointing out to my idiot sister that the backstory of "The Hunger Games" is a result of "democracy" and not having an electoral college system.
So does it have to do with them wanting to get rid of the electoral college?
That's a part of it. To them, "democracy" really means "globalism".
Democracy: (https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B4%E1%BF%86%CE%BC%CE%BF%CF%82#Ancient_Greek)
Together with Mycenaean Greek 𐀅𐀗 (da-mo) traceable back to Proto-Hellenic *dā́mos, inherited from Proto-Indo-European *déh₂mos (“part, division”), from *deh₂- (“to share, divide”) + *-mos. Equivalent to δαίομαι (daíomai) + -μος (-mos).
Demon: (https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B4%CE%B1%CE%AF%CE%BC%CF%89%CE%BD#)
Together with Mycenaean Greek 𐀅𐀗 (da-mo) traceable back to Proto-Hellenic *dā́mos, inherited from Proto-Indo-European *déh₂mos (“part, division”), from *deh₂- (“to share, divide”) + *-mos. Equivalent to δαίομαι (daíomai) + -μος (-mos).
what am I saying here? simply that both words do indeed share the same root, 'deh', which meant 'to divide' in P.I.E. Take that as you will.
a republic, on the other hand, is rule 'by the people, for the people', and involves discussion to come to common ground, rather than a focus on division and picking sides. democracy just happens to be a perfect system to set a country against itself.
but i guess that and the etymological interpretation 'rule by demons', supported by the origins of all parts of the word, could totally just be a complete coincidence. like i said, take it as you will.
That's very interesting
The wordsthat our media constantly spew "it is a threat to our democracy" is because a Constitutional Republic is a threat. They are always trying to convince people that we are a democracy, when in fact, we are a Constitutional Republic and yes, we ARE a threat to their democracy and I couldn't be any happier about it. Check out JBS.org they have videos that explains the difference between ALL forms of government and why our founders chose a Constitutional Republic to be the form of government for the United States. Also, there is a book out that explains in depth why our founders chose our form of government. It's called- 5000 Year Leap. Amazing book!
I don't know why this is so difficult to understand. It's embarrassing that so many people don't understand that a Republic is a type of democracy.
It's like saying that Pepsi isn't a soda, because it's a Pepsi.
I actually like democracy. Only people with property or military service can vote.
By pushing democracy and doing things like highlighting the popular vote as if it were more important than the patchwork of local representation, they try to guilt people into giving up their rights, while simultaneously entitling / empowering those who want to override the will of others.
The (small "r") republican nature of our representation ensures that individual rights and the rights of communities are protected from the will of a faraway majority. They constantly push the idea of democracy in order to persuade people to go along with their plans of trampling over the opinions and rights of anyone who disagrees with them, and make them think it's inevitable anyway because "muh democracy."
And it works ... I know people who think the electoral college is dumb, because they don't understand anything about how it's an important check against the tyranny of the majority.
Yep I've had retards trying to guilt me that the electoral college somehow oppresses the majority. They never have a response when I point out that if they truly where the majority by a wide margin like they claim then they should have no trouble overwhelming the electoral college as well. The fact that they can't is even further proof that they're an artificially amplified group but they just keep insisting that it's because all of the people like them moved to the cities and that's why they can't flip all of the other counties.
Indeed.
You can also ask how they would plan a recount for the national popular vote, and how it wouldn't turn into a "which region cheats better" contest.
Because they can manipulate the masses quicker than the truth can come out. This leaves no time for hindsight, only marching headfirst into their Luciferian NWO.
Listen to them closely. When they say “ ____ is a threat to OUR Democracy. “ Bear in mind that “their” democracy is not the same concept as ours! The former communist East Germany was know as the German Democratic Republic (or DDR).
Good point
This is simple. The Republic means the 50 states actually own the Gov. and The People Own the 50 states and The Gov.. A liberal (communist) 'democracy' means DC. NY city and Cal. Own and Rule over the the USA with the vast number (slums) of people crammed into these cities= Mob Rule with the greatest enemy of The People MSM, covering up the scam.
That makes a lot of sense.
The US gov't is a corporation and corporations are run as a democracy, with only select individuals casting votes.
Our unincorporated Federation [ the Republic ] was taken over in 1860 in a coup d'état in 1860.
I guess that's part of my confusion. We still vote in people to represent us. (Election fraud aside for a moment.) So it seems that we operate as a republic, but the progressives are pushing "democracy" so hard. It must be part of their agenda because it's a mockingbird talking point. Are they preparing us to get rid of the Constitution and replace it with a "democracy" form of government? What's the point of repeating "democracy" over and over?
The Republic (our un-incorporated Federation) was banished out of existance in 1860.
There has been no republic since.
Your vote means nothing.
Thank you to everyone replying. I truly appreciate it. And I am impressed with the knowledge you all have and your willingness to share it. I'm thankful you've all educated yourselves.
