Everyone always tries to make America a "Democracy." We are not a pure Democracy, we are a Republic. What's the difference? Both have "representation." The difference lies in our Constitution, which places limits of law to prevent the people's rights from being run over by the "majority."

Ancient Greece and Rome were "democracies." Most of the world now are some form of "democracy," whether parliamentary or direct. But they lack the Bill of Rights that America has in place to protect us from being overrun by a "majority." Which has been a problem for liberals - they want to be in control. This is why liberals are always claiming that the Constitution is "out of date" or certain rights like the 2nd Amendment should be "repealed."

The Founders intended a Representative Republic, to prevent the majority from becoming "mob rule." That's why the word "democracy" is not found in the Constitution.We needed a "buffer" between popular passion and protection of the individual.

Of course, Vladimir Putin thinks we're a democracy, but he's Russian. He thinks he has a democracy too, which is a joke all in itself. Don't be deceived by people who want to twist the nature of America. We are a nation of laws with legal restraints against "mob rule."

According to tradition, when Benjamin Franklin came out of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, a woman asked him what kind of government they created for America. He responded, "A Republic, if you can keep it."

Let's keep it!
