Having not read the article at the top, I don't know the exact context in which Morris is saying this. However, knowing who he is, then no, I'm probably not in agreement with him.
The United States is, of course, a Constitutional Republic and not a Democracy. In fact, I don't know of ANY country that is actually a pure "democracy" without pre-defined restrictions.
A Republic has its democratic elements to it - that's part of what makes it a republic. So when one person mentions 'the democracy of America,' it doesn't necessarilly mean the same thing as the unrealistic ideas of 'pure democracy' pimped by so many Lefties.
With that said, then, I believe people are incorrect when they go around saying things like "we live in a democracy," etc.
