The Republic This nation was not intended to be a Democracy. We are NOT a democracy. We are a REPUBLIC. When the guy asked Ben Franklin, "What have you done for us today," as he left the statehouse after signing the Declaration, Ben said, "We have given you a REPUBLIC, IF you can keep it."
The difference between a Democracy and a Republic is one is ruled by majority, or mob rule (Democracy) and the other is ruled by law (Republic). So get it through your thick skulls that if you don't like the way things are done, you can elect people to change the laws! Let them know that is what you want! If you don't pick up your lazy pen and write your congressmen, they are going to assume you like the way things are going! I don't pledge allegience to the flag of the Democracy of the United States. I am tired of spreading our DEMOCRACY to other countries! Shonda M.

Thomas Paine Isn’t it ironic that President Obama is so reveled in the nation's Black community, when the Luo tribe from which he came has a history of selling prisoners of rival African tribes to the Muslims who delivered them to the auction blocks in Europe and America?
