I didn’t say a democracy, and I didn’t capitalize Democratic, and specifically said “republic”. A democratic republic is one where the officials are chosen by the people. The alternative is a non-democratic republic, eg. the USSR. Justice Scalia also refers to our system of government in the same way when he makes his point that the court’s ruling takes the issue out of the political process as being non-democratic.
And I never “attacked” anyone’s beliefs.
I didn’t say you said “democracy”, nor did I imply my own capitalism (at the start of a sentence) was yours (I admit I ought to have put the capital D in parentheses for clarity). But you did say “democratic republic”, which is a title of more than one communist state and never at any time was the title of any state of the Union or the federal government.
And reviewing post 21, it certainly resembles a defense of Kennedy, based on one poster’s assertions that the justice has no belief in God or the historic destruction of Sodom and Amorah; as well as an attack on people’s beliefs.
