If a Republic is not at least in part a form of Democratic governance then how can it be said anyone is fighting for "Democracy

Democracy has become a word bandied about by politicians.

Republic is rule of law. Democracy is rule of majority. These are my simplifications.

As for great leaders in the US, I do not believe a great man could get elected dog catcher.

Being able to read a speech does not make one a great man. The chicken in every pot angle works every time.

For what it's worth, I thought that I'd post something that a wise man had to say many years ago, well at least I think he had some sound wisdom. I don't know if 'we' are 'blessed' by GOD here in America, but I do know that we are Blessed.
