It is way past time for you to change your tinfoil; it's stinking up the place.
Actually, GWB says that "democracy" and "representative republic" are synonyms, and he prefers "democracy."

These term, Democracy, is often used loosely in casual conversation, and most people understand the meaning. Occasionally someone, not well positioned to debate an issue, jumps on an incorrect side statement as if it were the primary subject of debate, and attempts to discredit the opponent. That is fair enough. Politicians do this all the time. However, the childish nature of your last comments show that your response was not intended to shed light on any discussion, Rather it was cheep attempt to bully your opinion (whatever it was) and to intimidate with no substantiation. That doesn't work well here where folks eagerly call our bluff and challenge our statements. I think your comments to me apply equally well to you, "...it is a wonder that after being here so long, you still don't know that."
