You might try looking up "Constitutional Republic" to remove your ignorance (lack of knowledge).
Emphasis on Constitutional.
Did Dan also label the latest as fake but accurate? No surprise he backs the fake news folks - he’s one of them.
Dan Rather is instrumental in my dumping SeeBS from my tv News list.
Recall Pres. Reagan holding a news conference the day before the Greneda invasion.
He blasted the President prior to Reagan even giving the speech. Really pi$$ed off.
Turned him and SeeBS News off. Today I can’t stand to even hear Scott Pelley speak, aside from the content.
BTW, the Reagan news conference had nothing to do with Greeneda.
Rather doesn’t even know the frequency of a press gaggle.
That's you, in your ignorance.
Mob rule. That's what democracy is.
He banned CNN and the Times. Those are not respected journalistic outlets. Have not been for a long time.
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
John Adams
The barring of respected journalistic outlets from the White House briefing
Respected by who? The NYT, LAT, WaPo, CNN, Chicago Tribune, See BS News? Those "respected journalists"? I pray every day for each and every one of them to fail. Is that a sign of respect?
“Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather...”
That read so nicely I had to see it again.
Dan Rather is the Fake News King...
So its OK for the media to call the President a threat to democracy, but not the reverse. OK Dan, back on the meds.
Dan Lather
We don’t have a democracy Danny Boy, we have a constitutional republic. But then again, how should we expect the oh so knowledgeable reporter of a fake news story intended to steer votes away from a sitting President’s re-election to know what type of government was established at the founding of our country.
Just to clear matters up, THAT was a threat to our constitutional republic.
You need to read my previous post here again and comprehend what is said.
In fact, all aspects of ‘democracy’ I outlined in #28 is included in your link to “Constitutional Republic”.
Dan Rather aside, why do you think the US isn’t a democracy? (a question...you're not "saying" anything)
A democracy means:
“a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.” (a definition...again you're not "saying" anything)
General Democratic Principles:
“legal equality, political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and rule of law have been identified as important characteristics. These principles are reflected in all eligible citizens being equal before the law and having equal access to legislative processes.” (another definition...again you're not "saying" anything)
Is the US a Federal (Democratic) Republic, or an Authoritarian Republic? (another question...you're not "saying" anything)
You didn't really say anything, did you? You did, however, do a lot of implying.
So give me something, anything (even going back to the Articles of Confederation) that proves this nation is a democracy or was ever founded as a democracy.
In fact, all aspects of ‘democracy’ I outlined in #28 is included in your link to “Constitutional Republic”.
All aspects? I don't see "Constitution" mentioned at all in your definition.
Did someone email Dan and tell him we’re a representative Republic?
