The United States. Democratic status. Was the source of the controversy at Valley Forge. The founding fathers were democratic. The people who wanted a republic almost starved the entire American army out to prove their point. Then it was set up as a democracy for the people and Thomas Jefferson ended up speaking a lot about it. Then these losers called the puratins came in, representing the republic (big businesses). They fought for almost 100 years to reverse the constitution and all the equal rights stuff. Now you see it, they still try to make it a nazi or king james state. But most of what they have done is public. Because of their joker mentality, now many huge financial industry based entities have more power then people and actually contradict what America stands for. America is supposed to be a democracy, but because of the corrupt idiots who took unrestrained actions. Some things like the federal government. Even though they are a corporation. As a ruling body. It's just a mish mash of good people and dirty people who support business over people.

We've lost the "checks" that are supposed to be there to limit government, even democratic government. The constitution was supposed to be a document by which the people gave the government certain powers, and no more. Nowdays it's extremely rare for government to stop itself because it isn't supposed to have the power to do something. Even the Supreme court effectively says "Well, the constitution doesn't give the government the authority to do this. It might even prohibit it. But it's for a "Good Reason", so we'll allow it."
That's dangerous for any form of government, even a democracy.

I have little faith in a government that has run up over 8 trillion dollars in debt during peacetime. Considering that most of the U.S. debt is financed by second and third world countries like China, India, and Indonesia, where the standard of living is lower this seems inexcusable (especially since individual U.S. citizens have a negative average savings rate).

All the things that are being fought and aurgued and discussed on these sites and in newspapers and on the media are all due to this system- our forefather were not perfect,and neither is the system- it evolves constantly- but we can do that because of the very system people complain about-I'm proud to live here- mistakes and all, and the base of who and what we are is still the best in the world.

It's not a democracy. It's a republic. And right now I don't have faith in it. But it is "We the people..." or at least it should be.

If I didn't I would start looking for another place. Although I do not always agree with democractic government in the
U.S. I feel it's the best there is and no nation can compare to date.

No, I do not have faith in a system that only seeks to gratify itself and not the people it is supposed to serve. There is no serving going on here.

Absolutely NOT! Democracy is merely an ILLUSION, because THIS secret and evil group has been in control of everything for far too long!...
