6. Democracy vs. Democratic Republic

If someone would comment, 'we live in a democracy', he would be instantly chastised by someone who would correct him, 'we live in a democratic republic'.

So, now our elected politicians are suggesting that the voters should decide on impeachment....2 years from now. NO, we live in a 'democratic republic' not a democracy!

YOU, politician, do your job as framed in our system of governance. If you don't, WE will do our defined job and replace you in two years.
