Is the USA a Republic or a Democracy?
I think too many people still think that we are a Democracy. We are a Rebublic. Let us not forget....and to the Republic, for which it stands, one nation, with Liberty and Justice for all.
So, here is a nice short video that explains pretty well the differences...

The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintian an Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

We are supposed to be a republic, but if you notice how our government is trying to spread democracy around the world, I believe they would rather have our country be a democracy instead of a republic.
In a democracy, the government can have the people and themselves vote for bigger government and thus give the government more power over the people. When the government does this correctly, the people go for it, because they feel the government is doing something for them and they would not get those things if this were a republic.
Obviously, democracy is a shortcut to socialism.
The USA is a nation. It's national government is a barbaric sociopathic corrupt tyrannical criminal plutocratic oligarchic kleptocratic pathocracy.

Started as a Republic, once our elected officials started ignoring us we became a Democracy.
I think that's how it works?
But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.

If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks, and the corporations which grow up around them, will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
---Thomas Jefferson
Is that official?
For me it is.
Republics vs. Democracies
"We do have some differences and our approaches will be different, but that makes him his own person. I mean why should he [Rand] be a clone and do everything and think just exactly as I have. I think it's an opportunity to be independent minded. We are about 99% the same on issues." "People Try To Drive Wedges Between Rand And Me." --Ron Paul
