Republic VS. Democracy

I have always understood that this country was formed as a republic and not a democracy. I have understood the differences but have often found it hard to explain to others why this DOES matter. This video does just that and is a great explaination. I feel it is vital to understand the differences and stand for the heart our country as it was founded before we lose sight of the purpose of a republic.

Please share, the more we understand the better we can protect our future.

Ok, I finally watched this. I somewhat agree, but I also don't think we are a total republic either. We still fit the definition of democracy too. In my opinion. We are headed more and more toward socialism though, which stinks.

Erik says this guys theories are lame. :) I however thought it was pretty interesting.
