There is a very disturbing trend I have seen lately on Y/A, where folks refer to America as a Democracy........
Do People know that America was Founded as a REPUBLIC and NOT a DEMOCRACY? I see this a lot when people support doing away with the Electoral Vote and favor a Popular vote because as a "True Democracy" it should be that way?
There is a HUGE diference!!! We are a Republic of States. Which means that the STATES you decide their own fates and have Freedom from the Federal Government NOT an Umbilical Cord plugged into it.
We blame or praise our Federally Elected Officials, and expect "Favors" and "Entitlements" from the Fed., which was not their job in the first place.
Do schools teach how our OWN Gov. works? Dod kids still say "I'll never need to use History and Gov. class, so why learn it"? It is scary since the 1930's how the Fed. Gov. has grown. Our Founding Fathers would roll over in their Graves!!!
Read the Preamble to the Constitution and Decide. Republic or Democrac
