Canadians! What can ya do with em? It must be the good beer up there
because you're wrong on just about every point. As it says in The Pledge
(with or without the god part) the USA is a republic, not a democracy.

Ok, you're right about that. That's why the USA is set up as a republic
and not a democracy.

It's precisely because the USA is NOT a democracy that Bush got elected.
And I don't think the Arab Israelis get the same vote as the Jewish Israelis
so you can't completely blame democracy on that one either.

Real democracy gives power to the majority, without regard to intelligence.
And who says the Democrats are intelligent. They're all politicians.
