We all know that we aren't a true Democracy, hell I'm not sure any such thing ever existed except in theory.

I realize we are a Republic. I said so in the Pledge of Allegiance we said at the beginning of school for 12 years. That included "Under God" also.
We are a;lso a nation intended to have "freedom and justice for all". Not many constitutional Rebuplics can say that. We are a democratic Republic in which the citizenry elect representatives to act for them. OTOH I have heard it described as a country where the sheep elect idiots to carry on their business.
I'm not arguing words, I am tired of others arguing words. We all know what the president or I or anyone else means when we speak of a democracy and don't need some pseudo intellectual to correct us with some lofty, really meaningless definition. Almost every country in the world has a constitution of some sort and are republics. That included the Soviet Union and even Iraq although it was life threatening to run against Stalin or Sadahm.
