I forgot to give credit to most of the good writing in my comment above. It came from http://www.garymcleod.org/republic.htm
The problem is idiots are actually influenced by advertising put out by the media, the candidates and superpacs. They’re too stupid to do a little bit of research.
Thanks for the link to an excellent article and website.
Yes, ours is a republic.
I’m noting the increase in misinformation that is being posting on FR just by the headlines on this main forum. So much mis- and disinformation have been injected into the minds of FReepers just from scanning the headlines and not reading the followups. Just copying an untrue or inaccurate headline from the newspaper or another website doesn’t seem adequate anymore for keeping conservatives informed.
After having viewed the link at #2 am seeing why it was posted.
