Democracy Now?

The United States of America is not a democracy. We are a limited constitutional federal republic, i.e a democratic republic.

One of my friends commented on a post of mine in the following manner:

Pray also for a healing of the divisiveness that has captivated America. Pray that those who did not vote for Barrack can see past that now and commit themselves to getting this country back on track. YES WE CAN!

My answer to this comment is as follows: WAIT! There is more to read… read on »
