USA is NOT the world’s oldest democracy.

That honor lies with England.

What an insult. Does this idiot know that we are NOT a democracy???? We are a Republic!!!

If I was President, I would immediately fire any official calling our Republic a democracy.

Our Founders knew the evil of Democracies -- they knew the end game of democracies is tyranny.

One thing you have to give India credit for....the Indian people are about the only people on earth who have a positive opinion of the US and her people.

Interesting story: a local told me that early on India patterned their economy after the old Soviet Union and China and then later, the US.

He wasn’t clear about when the dumped the Communist system. But it was intended as a compliment and a good choice.

Indians respect the US and what we have done.

The US was founded as a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy!

While we’re celebrating freedom and democracy, let’s not forget to compare the excellent state of India with the lamentable state of Pakistan.
