What are you doing to Keep The Republic? Do you feel like we're losing the Republic? Our schools (yes, Jackson AND Cape) are teaching our children that we are a Constitutional Democracy.

Are we a Constitutional Democracy?

I challenge you to find the word democracy in the Constitution. What are you going to do about that?

It's time to become what the Founders envisioned -- self-governing citizens wielding civic authority!

What!?!? What is that?!?!

Uh... no thanks. I found out what YOU people were all about at the Occupy Mingo event last year and oh yeah, since you're so hyper-sensitive about the flags flown at events that you didn't organize, I was just wondering are you going to stop flying the "Don't Tread on Me" flag now that it was used by extremist in Nevada?

We are a republic and a constitutional democracy. A republic is is a form of government wherein the head of state is not a hereditary monarch. It has nothing to do with freedom or the lack thereof. China is a republic, whereas the United Kingdom is not.

I kind of understand how the Tea Party is so distrustful of government, given how the public school system apparently failed them spectacularly.
