Midnight M's and Truthmatters "Room with a View"

[Midnight Marauder]

No they were not clear it was NOT a democracy you idiot.

Article 4, section 4. It's quite clear and plain.

Have you read and studied the Constitution? The Federalist Papers?

 

[peach174]

Our Government is not a Democracy it is a
Republic : A state in which the sovereign power resides in a certain body of the people (the electorate), and is exercised by representatives elected by, and responsible to,them; also, the form of goverment of such a state.

A republic IS a democracy you complete idiot.

You do not get to redefine words for your political beliefs

Outside Independence Hall when
the Constitutional Convention of 1787 ended,
Mrs. Powel of Philadelphia asked Benjamin Franklin,

With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded,
"A republic, if you can keep it."

[Midnight Marauder]

You do not get to redefine words

That's right, you do not.

Did you know that the words "Democratic" and "Democracy" appear NOT AT ALL in either the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, or the Constitution or any of its amendments?

Bet you didn't know that.

Ever wonder why?

No, it is not. In a democracy, the citizens, not their representatives, vote on legislation.

You people constantly deny facts.

Any answer on this one yet? Or, do we assume I have you pegged?

Unanswered accusation

 

[bigrebnc1775]

No they were not clear it was NOT a democracy you idiot.

Words have definitions.

Our government is a democracy.

The founders were commenting on DIRECT DEMOCRACY.

no, our government is a representative republic

I think it was a Constitutioinal Republic. But either way it's still a Republic.

 

[Truthmatters]

Which in the definition of the word IS a democracy.


I gave you the definition of the word you fucking idiot.

Your aregument is not with me but with the English language.

Your aregument is not with me but with the English language.

You seem to have the problem with it.

Again I'll ask: Did you know that the words "Democratic" and "Democracy" appear NOT AT ALL in either the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, or the Constitution or any of its amendments?

 

[Midnight Marauder]

A word that IS NOT in ANY of our founding documents!

 

[Truthmatters]

It doesnt matter you fucking idiot.

The definiktion of the word has not changed and the founders were opperating under teh same definitions.

They Knew what you refuse to recognise.

They NEVER attempted to rewrite definitions like you do
