They are going to hammer us with this "our democracy" crap in the continuing mis-education of the public school initiated DIS-education.
I remember "vocabulary words" in elementary and Junior High and they were all English and grammatically/etymologically correct.
There is no such thing as "our democracy", just like there is no such thing as our truth or my truth.
Funny how the Constitution requires a “republican” form of government for all states.
Democracy
Republic
Constitutional Republic
Republican form of government
Democratic form of government
These are nice phrases and words. Now define the differences and similarities between them to the average person.
“Good Luck”
Yup. Damn right.
I do admit I cringe when I hear Reagan use that phrase in his speeches. Considering what the Congress was composed of mostly during those years, I can understand why he didn’t bother to have his speechwriters omit the phrase.
Of course these days, I can’t hear the phrase without thinking of Woodrow Wilson and how he declared “socialism and democracy” to be “one and the same”.
Thanks.
