You know the propaganda is working when the word 'democracy' is still used by We the People to describe the republic for which we stand. Lincoln saved the Republic of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA...we are not a democracy. The republic was overthrown in 1963, and solidly fascist by 9/11...Thanks to Bush and Clinton....and Bush and Obama...SO....Yes we practice democratic style voting for some offices, but the Chief EXECUTIVE is not elected by popular vote. America is a REPUBLIC> SAY IT... R E P U B L I C. WE vote for public servants that represent us as self governed citizens. We aren't a democracy, never were. That word is nowhere in the Constitution. When we stop using the Left's language to muddy the facts, maybe then we might start gaining common sense and truth back from the abyss.

I prefer to use the term TASS when referring to our criminal propaganda outlets that identify as "news" media. CNN = constantly never news

The founders of this country had an intelligence and wisdom that no longer exists in the people or their so-called public servants. By the middle of the 19th century the philosophies of Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries had taken hold in America. Enlightenment, Age of Reason and the Progressive movement changed all the dynamics that worked so well prior. There is no going back. See Federalist #10 regarding Democracy.

You mean actual Federalism? Cool. Maybe repeal the 16th and 17th amendments while we are at it?
