Hey brainiac. This is a REPUBLIC, not a democracy.
Please obtain a fucking clue.
========================
I have observed that each and every one of the clowns who say this are all rightwing dolts, all f whom lack "fucking clues". You are a prime example of this group.
Aforementioned dolts don't even know what the word "republic" means. So here ois your lesson for today, since doesn't have it on his brainwashing agenda.
It is from Latin, and means "res publica" or public thing. All it means is that the leaders are members of the public, not hereditary monarchs. Rome was a Republic until they started calling their leaders Emperors, and even then, the office was seldom hereditary.
Germany under Hitler was a republic by the usual definition, as there was no Kaiser (German for Caesar, by the way).
When the public chooses one of their members by an election, then you have a democracy.
Democracy means RULE BY THE PEOPLE. What we have in the US is a REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY which means we elect representatives to make laws and enforce them, as opposed to the entire electorate voting on each law and its enforcement, which was difficult to manage even in the smaller Greek city-states.
=========
Of course this has NOTHING to do with my point that 100% of the military has vowed to obey the elected leader of this country, who will be Obama after January 20th. If they re-enlist when their time is up, that is their choice. I suspect that lots of people would be more willing to enlist and serve under President Obama rather than a President Juniorbush.
