A democracy is three wolves and two sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
A republic is 300 wolves and 200 sheep voting for 3 wolves and two sheep to
write a dinner menu.
A constitutional republic is a republic wherein it is agreed before hand
that lamb is not on the menu.
... Then the Supreme Court votes 5 wolves to 4 sheep that mutton is not
lamb!

In a democracy all voices are equal.
In a representative republic majority rules.
As a result dissenting voices cry about being "disenfranchised".
Sometimes it's true; sometimes not.
The facts of any disenfranchising situation should outweigh the
sounds we hear and should thus determine the appropriate response.
It's not unreasonable for any nation to ask of its citizens to pledge
patriotism.
We have an exception -- religious conscience -- in our 1st Amendment.
The situation in the US right now is a bubbling mess. The Left is
consolidating
its concensus to reform the revolutionary spirit of the 1960s. With that
emphasis they are vilify the competition. Listening to them, all of the
"conservative" voices are likened to Nazis and any evangelical voice is
made out to be a cry for a "theocracy". So the lies and manipulations are
well-formed and of a broad concensus in the Left's media efforts these
days.
Ed Schultz and Randi Rhoads are notable in this broadcast effort.
Ed frequently uses the Nazi assocations, talking about "Field Marshall
von Rumsfeld" and Randi does not criticize violent rhetoric.
I choose simple constitutional liberty.
