America is a republic. There is no American democracy.

another game of semantics ?
good distraction.

and before you say it..collusion is a laymans term..the legal term is criminal conspiracy.

No semantics. Republic and democracy are two distinct forms of government and they are not synonymous. Good talk.

we are a democratic republic....
waste of time arguing over this.. mr. didactic.

would you be able to be at peace if i referred to our democratic institutions upon which our republic is based...

That would work...because it is positively accurate.

As an aside, I did get a laugh out of the topic changing names. If that's been happening for the almost 500 pages of this thread, I think that's rather cool. Take care.

the titles change frequently...they are usually politics related...recently i have been honoring people who were great contributors and passed away this year.
im glad you like it.

GREAT JOB BY TRUMP....as always. Didn't make a bad deal like Obama.

AMERICA IS GREAT AGAIN! A GREAT REPUBLIC!

and a great republican.
doug cracks me up.

we have a certain etiquette in this thread as well...satire is always welcome.....sometimes it hits the mark..sometimes not... most understand satire when they read it........we will not allow any racism......gender bashing.... antisemitism.......insults........punk behavior..........that is reserved for those that like that in non sports....this is a pot-pourie.....lots of sports and some politics and pop culture.......punks please stay home.......

I could probably figure it out on my own but I'll ask the question anyway.

When did this thread devolve from the noble statement above to the partisan bickering it is now?

I don't often peruse the forums (less than 800 posts since 2004) so don't expend too much energy answering. Chances are excellent I will not regularly contribute if it's simply a political shouting match. I can get more than enough of that watching TV or listening to the radio.

Thanks, dino.
