Slots, Phillips, and Allen fasteners were made obsolete with the introduction of the Torx fastener.

No, the United States is [b]supposed to be[/b] a Democratic Republic, but it is devolving into a Democracy. When the Constitution is no longer recognized as the basic law of the land, that's what we'll be. We're getting there rapidly.
Excellent cartoon, Cyrax. I'll pass that around. |

Good Grief! We can't even describe our own government. For the record, it's a Representative Republic! Remember the Pledge of Allegiance? ...And to the Republic for which it stands...?

"The first goal in our hemisphere is [b]democracy[/b]."
"It is the way our [b]democracy[/b] renews its promise, by celebrating American heroes and American values, without hesitation and without apology." "Leaders must be responsible, and in our great [b]democracy[/b], the top responsibility rests with the President of the United States." It is a DEMOCRACY! |

Guess what, Dave; they already do. Nevertheless, on paper, at least, our gov't is a REPUBLIC.

Someone please show me where it says we are a democratic republic! We are not suppose to be anything near a democracy.
Article IV Section 4 only says that we are guaranteed a Republican form of government. No where in the Constitution does it even mention the word Democracy! I'm sick of hearing that word! Even when describing our form of gov't as a democratic republic! It's either one or the other and unfortunately it has become a democracy! ...and the sheep are unarmed!(mentally and physically!)

Article IV Section 4. The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a[red] republican [/red]form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature, or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence. sgb |

I too am sick of people saying Democracy. GRRR
I remember hearing or reading somewhere... Someone asked Jefferson or Franklin "what kind of government did you give us" A Constitutional REPUBLIC. |

Well, now, now that we've settled that.... Where do you suppose the impetus came from to call this country's gov't a democracy? Is there any political party that would benefit from this confusion of terms?

Quoted: I remember hearing or reading somewhere... Someone asked Jefferson or Franklin "what kind of government did you give us" A Constitutional REPUBLIC. It was Franklin and supposedly he said, "A Republic if you can keep it!" Ron Paul titled a speech from that quote, had a link to it but it lost. Besides, it was 20 pages long, too much for most people here to read. Bare with my cynicism people. I've had a bad week so far and you all know, we normally take it out on the people we love most!

No offense, Alex, but when I and many others learned the Pledge, it contained the phrase 'Under God" after " one nation..". I'm not an aggressively religious person, but I wonder where that phrase went, when it was deleted, and why.

Raf, no offense taken. the pledge that I posted was the origional pledge. It was used by public schools to observe Columbus day on October 12,1892 by proclamation of President Benjamin Harrison. It was amended with "The flag of the United States of America" on flag day on june 14, 1924. This was further amended in 1954 with "Under God". My point was to kinda assert that "my flag" represented individual states in a Republic that had a common goal, that were united and had a common legal system.

Thanks, Alec, I think I like the original better in some ways...
