Sorry. I completely disagree about the Eastern Bloc countries. Their democracy cannot be perfect. It's ten years old.
Neither, as a matter of fact, is ours. And it never, ever will be.

But our nation is a republic; it is not a democracy. There is a clear distinction about the two ideas. A republic is based upon standards; in our case the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Although these standards of government may be modified, the procedure is very rigorous. A democracy is nothing more than mob_rule; this is what the politicians want you to think America is all about.
This is how the foundations of America are being undermined .... you think you are free by voting for leaders that usurp the Constitution. This is how America is making war everywhere around the planet by your nodding of approval.
