That 'everyone' is naturally limited to those with a right to vote. Yes, I am highlighting that your distinction between "Constitutional Republic" and "Democracy" is based on an outmoded idea of what "Democracy" means and an overly restrictive idea of "Republic", and that you do this to claim the USA is not a democracy. If "everyone" obviously means "those with a right to vote", then obviously democracy means "liberal, representative democracy", and the US has that system in place for electing its politicians. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Democracy is 3 wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. The constitutional republic sets 2 houses of wolves and sheep, against another elected wolf / sheep, with an, (ideally), wolf/sheep judicial weighing all laws established by the 3 against a document which guarantees the sheep inalienable rights ordained by a power above what men may take away, and limits the rights of government to enforce certain powers over the sheep, including, but not limited to, being eaten for dinner. At least this *particular* constitutional republic. |

... Which is why it is such a shame that current candidates are representatives of whoever paid for them. Money in politics is currently the biggest threat to US democracy. Reality Internet Personality |

... Hang on. If you are saying that people use money to get their candidates to represent them, then it is not money that is the threat, it is the people who use the money that threaten US democracy. Money is the root of all evil and should be removed from the US of A. Forthwith. Just give it all to the poor. flaming balloons |

Then how in the same society 3 million people own 50 trillion dollar or 80% of total social wealth and at same time 1.5 million kids homeless hungry some eating rats as their dinner plus 50 million poor people kind of integrate into some form of society?! The real [democracy] or [freedom] things cannot be belong to this formation so this is newer form of fascist society. 3 million millioner satans + 1.5 million homeless children + 50 million abused poor = Fascism The inequality distribution: The inequality curviture measure is already beyond any normalcy even before the their recession: which now even more curved How the 1% abused law and looted american social wealth over time: Especially most americans would clearly see this figure which clearly reflects realistic historic income flows. http://www.the-crises.com/wealth-inequality-in-the-us-1/ Mandtugai! |

As you fly a Mongolian flag, perhaps your English dictionary has a different definition of fascist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism Fascism opposes multiple ideologies: conservatism, In general it is conservatives you will find who are in charge of the capital in the USA. |

Only in fascist society the system produces single person into billionare withing short period and at same time millions of middle class families make beg food from others so called food stamp you call. What Apple corporation collecting 76 billion dollars in California during last few years exactly at same time homeless children centers mushrooming in exact same location is very disgusting system feature to any common sense. The system mechanism is wrong so your most middle class is horribly abused by it. (And again the brainwashing keywords are "democracy" and "freedom" for this case.) Mandtugai! |

USA is basically made of of 200 different nationals of this planet so I understand that at least 200 different nationals can openly criticize and debate about america. Plus all those economic and other social sectors impacts to other countries make it even more necessary. I hope at least few of members from there posting here are college educated ppl, just guess.

It isn't fascism that you oppose because fascism wouldn't allow a big corporation so no person could become a billionaire in a short period of time. Perhaps what you oppose is "the fiduciary duty to the shareholder" or capitalism or liberty. By "homeless children centers" do you mean an orphanage? If so you will have a hard time finding any in California. Manta lists 35, and a quick read says almost all are charity fronts for orphan programs in other countries. I do know of one resident program in California Odd-Fellow Rebekah Children's Home of California. The government of California has ZERO. It is hard to call ZERO mushrooming. |

Apple doesn't 'collect' billions of dollars. People choose to 'give' Apple those billions in freely buying their products. flaming balloons |
