If President Bush had done this to candidate Obama the liberal would be up in arms. But of course liberals don't think they have to obey the same laws as everyone else.

Before the Kenyanesian Usurpation we were a Republic.

If we can keep it.

It was a Constitutional Republic. However, today, I would say that we are more and more giving away our republic and freedoms for the “peace and safety” the Scriptures speak of. I believe what God’s Word says. Our days on this planet are numbered. If you have called on His name and asked for forgiveness of your sins, you have no worries. But, if you haven’t, well . . . . . . . . . .

It’s a republic with checks and balances, but a lot of power has accrued to FEDGOV in particular the executive branch over the years and can be misused (as we are witnessing from the previous administration’s executive branch at this time in our history).

Excerpt from Brutus #1...

But what is meant is, that the legislature of the United States are vested with the great and uncontroulable powers, of laying and collecting taxes, duties, imposts, and excises; of regulating trade, raising and supporting armies, organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia, instituting courts, and other general powers. And are by this clause invested with the power of making all laws, proper and necessary, for carrying all these into execution; and they may so exercise this power as entirely to annihilate all the state governments, and reduce this country to one single government. And if they may do it, it is pretty certain they will; for it will be found that the power retained by individual states, small as it is, will be a clog upon the wheels of the government of the United States; the latter therefore will be naturally inclined to remove it out of the way. Besides, it is a truth confirmed by the unerring experience of ages, that every man, and every body of men, invested with power, are ever disposed to increase it, and to acquire a superiority over every thing that stands in their way. This disposition, which is implanted in human nature, will operate in the federal legislature to lessen and ultimately to subvert the state authority, and having such advantages, will most certainly succeed, if the federal government succeeds at all.

Anti-federalist

It seems that the demonicrats have brainwashed the country in many ways and especially into thinking we are in a Democracy to try to get votes.

Police State?

You’re crazy to even raise the question.

See North Korea.

Unfortunately we don’t have much real representation. They call themselves representatives but the only thing they represent is the interests of the Deep State.

You can be a democracy and a police state. After all Athens democratically voted to execute Socrates. This fact, well known to the Founders is why they designed a Constitutional Republic that was a representative democracy,and added tge further protection of dividing the lower of law making and law enforcement.

Still a Republic but barely. The USA would have been over as a free country if Hillary would have won the election.

The next few years will determine which way the country goes. So grind your loins people. The fight has just started.

Neither.

So, for the woefully UNINFORMED, the United States of America is a REPUBLIC.

Those who fail to understand that FACT, should do us all a favor and RESIST going any where near a polling stations during any and all election cycles.

I can’t speak for you, but when it comes to our God given Rights, I am NOT inclined to give up jack shit.

Come and Take them, if you are so inclined. Just be thoughtful enough to make your necessary arrangements before setting out.
