[La Enchiladita]

But the United States is a republic, not a democracy. The three branches of government ARE the "true government". They're our representatives, not our employees. They are supposedly held accountable through the electoral process. It's amazing the number of folks on this forum that don't understand this simple concept. Apparently they watch too much MSM.

Yes, it's amazing. It must be so tiresome for you to go slumming on this humble forum, among the ignorant. I evaluate FReepers not only on knowledge, but on attitude as well, where their hearts are and how they treat other FReepers. Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings and finding me worthy of your gracious responses. I don't mind learning...

As do I. Asking for information is always more polite then saying "Prove it".
