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.
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.
