What is the usa a democracy or republic?

The USA is a democracy from birth. At its forming A Tunisian Ambassador was one of the first nations to recognize us at that time in France. All countries export what they believe is their best wisdom, even yours. Do you think one day the birthplace of Abraham, will provide peace to all there in coalition ? Do you think Afghanistan is anything more than a corner of hell needing peace !

Because although it's called Democracy, it's really a far cry from the real idea of Democracy, (which is more like Anarcho- syndicism, in it's origins)

It's the most easily corruptable Political System, because it promotes an unregulated, Usury based economy, thats why the USA are so keen to export it. Then they can exploit the bejesus out of whichever poor Country bought into it, before they realise just what a Crock it really is!

(like the new avatar, but I somehow never had you pegged as a Chick)

that's at present Neither. nevertheless some aspects of it are nevertheless republic based maximum of it now no longer exists for a number of motives. here a number of examples of issues that are no longer Republic. the u . s . a . has a number of different bureaucracies such because of the fact the EPA FDA etc. those Bureaucracies are no longer difficulty to the comparable tests and balances that congress is meant to be held too. Their leaders are no longer elected they're appointed. They impose expenses (taxes), ban a number of issues, and form regulations of very very nearly each in the u . s . a .. they arrive to their conclusions via way of appointed panels (no longer elected officers) which many times circumstances have very jaded evaluations from the commencing up. They rule with an Iron fist and your basically desire is to combat them in the courts. How ever companies can no longer cope with to pay for to do this. A state or federal forms is backed via the government and has un constrained funds for litigation in courtroom. A business enterprise does no longer. it particularly isn't of a republic or democracy base.

Recite the Pledge of Alligence and you'll find the US is a Republic, not a democracy.

A republic is a form of government in which the head of state is not a monarch[1] and the people (or at least a part of its people)[2] have an impact on its government.[3][4] The word 'republic' is derived from the Latin phrase res publica which can be translated as "public affairs".

Both modern and ancient republics vary widely in their ideology and composition. The most common definition of a republic is a state without a monarch.[5] In republics such as the US and France the executive is legitimated both by a constitution and by popular suffrage. In the United States Founding Fathers like James Madison defined republic in terms of representative democracy as opposed to only having direct democracy[6], and this usage is still employed by many viewing themselves as "republicans".[7] In modern political science, republicanism refers to a specific ideology that is based on civic virtue and is considered distinct from ideologies such as liberalism.[8]

Democracy is a system of government in which either the actual governing is carried out by the people governed (direct democracy), or the power to do so is granted by them (as in representative democracy). The term is derived from the Greek δημοκρατία (dēmokratía (info)), "popular government",[1] which was coined from δῆμος (dêmos), "people" and κράτος (krátos), meaning "power" in the middle of the fifth-fourth century BC to denote the political systems then existing in some Greek city-states, notably Athens following a popular uprising in 508 BC.[2]

A lady once asked Benjamin Franklin what have you done, he replied, we've given you a Republic...if you can keep it.

Notice how it's "to a Rupublic" for which it stands one nation under God.

That is why you hear Liberal Democrats like Obama saying the word Democracy over and over again. That is by design...if you say a lie enough, over time people will believe it.

technically we're a Constitutional Republic.

the reality is that we're Fascist since Corporations are entitled to put big money into the political process even though they're not even mentioned, or given any rights whatsoever, in the United States Constitution.

unless Americans demand to change that they'll always be on the losing end of the political/economic stick. but then Americans aren't exactly the brightest bulbs in the pack since they vote Republican and/or Democrat and vote to bankrupt themselves.

Democratic Republic

LOOK at your cyrillic alphabet and TELL US about the RUSSIAN installed puppet president the Taliban HANGED when the Russians chickened out of Afghanistan.

America is spelled with a CAPITAL A.

Talk to us about Poland, Czechoslovakia, ALL the former Russian satellite states you would LOVE to have again to oppress.

Block me. Stalin will LOVE you for it.

Sorry. No one is buying.

Representative Republic. Here is an example form the pledge of allegiance attesting to the fact, "to this republic for which it stands".

We have a Republic form of government but if you follow the money and the sweet heart political deals, it becomes clear we are really an Oligarchy.
