So, you are not refuting the fact that we are a Constitutional Republic?

Regarding Republics and Individualism are all of these researchers, historians, constitutional scholars also “making up” the same definition?

A poster had suggested that I'm wasting my time. I have concluded that he is absolutely correct and I shall heed his sage advice to leave this forum. I was unable to find the link to unsubscribe/unregister from the forum. Perhaps someone can tell me how I may do that. Don't all of you jump up at once. :D

Good luck to all you truth-seekers. May you all achieve your goal sooner rather than later.
