What does that matter you silly fool?
a republic is a type of democracy?
show me in what dictionary or encyclopedia is says the contrary?
It matters a great deal TM.
You wont' find democracy in the Constitution because when you read what our founders said about democracies not working and that they always fail, they never wanted a democracy.
We have been fed this about being a Democracy for 100 years, so that they could bring in socialism which is communism.
What do you see in the world government's today? TM
All of them are failing because they all are democracies with the mix of socialism, a form of communism.
