[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 504154, member: 1514"] I did not say there is any current country that is a true democracy, you said we were. I am not going to argue with you. Why are you attempting to continue this? The difference in being a democratic republic and not is that is that we have certain inalienable rights that no one can take away from us no matter what the majority rules. In a straight democracy, the majority could rule against the minority and take away those rights. This is the system of government that was set up for us all those years ago when they signed the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. This is one of the first things we are taught in school. Its the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. Not to the democracy.
