Are we a republic or a democracy?

[Theocrat]

Our Constitutional Republic Presupposes God's Rule

No we're not founded on theocracy.

Where do you think our Founders got their ideas for establishing a republic? They came from the assumption that God is the Ruler of all things, and thus, rights and laws only come rightly from Him. It's real easy to understand this.

Pretty straightforward

The first person to hate Democracy was Plato because the process was used to convict Socrates. When those in power saw that a smaller jury wasn't going to be enough to convict Socrates of impiety, they just expanded the jury until the conviction was assured.
During their time, our founding fathers had little to do but to read with the Greek classics being popular. They were well aware of Plato's hatred for Democracy.

Nope, I have an agreement with the fish. I don't put hooks in their mouths, and they don't read this stuff.

Perhaps you didn't view the video in post #11.

We are not talking about parties here but what form of government we are supposed to have.

I know that, and I think all forms of government are a sham.
