Isn't "Representative Republic" a redundancy? A republic has elected representatives according to Websters, shouldn't it be "Constitutional Republic" or something like that?

This is a legitimate question, not an attempt to argue.

Given the fact that GW lost the popular vote and had to resort to enforcing the RULE OF LAW to stop Gore from stealing the election, you'd think Bush would be the LAST person touting this nation as being a "democracy"!!!

[rolleyes]



"Democracy". I hate that fucking word. [;D]

Imbroglio,

That's a very insightful Photoshopping job.  But I fear that the point is lost on some of the respondents (see no evil, etc.).  By the time they realize you're right, it'll be too late.

Actually I was referring to the "brief shining moment" when America was as close to perfection as humanly possible. Sometime between 1791 and 1913.

[USA]





BTW... Kennedy was actually fairly conservative - for a Democrat.

Ardent anti-communist, favored low taxes, strong on the RKBA, didn't care much for the "civil-rights" shysters of the time nor the growing socialist hippie movement. But he did get us entangled in Viet Nam so I guess you have a more than valid distaste for him.
