Democracy for Dummies

If you use the word "DEMOCRACY" in describing The United States of America and the United States Constitution you are a fool.  Obama is a fool and he's a Harvard Graduate.  Many fools are abounding more and more and are "educated".   Have a little study here of the Noah Webster 1828 Dictionary and wake up Americans:


 Or  "Government by Popular Opinion and Talk Show Hosts"?

Let's look at two definitions.  Is that too difficult?  Show this to Obama and anyone who tells us we are a "democracy" please.  Thank you:

democracy

DEMOCRACY, n. [Gr. People, and to possess, to govern.] Government by the people; a form of government, in which the supreme power is lodged in the hands of the people collectively, or in which the people exercise the powers of legislation. Such was the government of Athens.

republic

REPUB'LIC, n. [L. respublica; res and publica; public affairs.]
1. A commonwealth; a state in which the exercise of the sovereign power is lodged in representatives elected by the people. In modern usage, it differs from a democracy or democratic state, in which the people exercise the powers of sovereignty in person. Yet the democracies of Greece are often called republics.
2. Common interest; the public. [Not in use.]
Republic of letters, the collective body of learned men.
