A woman asked Benjamin Franklin a question as he exited Independence Hall after the Constitutional
Convention in 1787. “Doctor, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?” Franklin supposedly replied,
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
Consider
the following published
by your federal government employees in 1928 whenever you hear any
media talking head or dumb ass politician say "OUR DEMOCRACY":
“Democracy, n.: A
government of the masses. Authority derived through mass
meeting or any other form of direct expression. Results in
mobocracy. Attitude toward property is communistic...
negating property rights. Attitude toward law is that the
will of the majority shall regulate, whether it is based upon
deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice, and impulse, without
restraint or regard to consequences. Result is demagogism,
license, agitation, discontent, [chaos].” U. S. Army Training Manual
No. 2000-25
Published by the U.S. War Department, Washington, D.C.,
November 30, 1928

Let's check out some contemporary representations referencing "our
democracy".
Wow!
All those nice looking well groomed "news anchors" are in different
towns and cities in different states.
I wonder how they all
thought up the same thing to say? That seems to be a "news
story"!
Did you notice that
they never say "OUR
REPUBLIC". LOTS of times they'll use both terms ie
democratic republic. They equate the coffee cup with
the coffee.
Here's some more examples of
"news anchors" from different cities and states
saying the same exact words. It appears they're all
psychic.
They're sure well dressed & well groomed presumptively college
grads who don't seem to think nor write for themselves.
Why did they name the song "Battle Hymn Of The
Republic". Why do people pledge allegiance to a flag
of a Republic instead of a Democracy?
It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and expose lies.
