Clarify, I should. Need more Jedi we do. Defend the republic we must. If backward sepaks Yoda, backward speak we should.

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Republic: That's the most difficult word to define. Its derivation is from "res publica," Latin for "a public thing."

More succinctly, as Plato defined in Republic, the United Staes is a "polity."

[Sir Francis Dashwood]

Sorry to be long-winded and pedantic about it, but I invested a lot of time, money and effort into my poli sci degree, and it doesn't all fit on a bumper sticker or a matchbook cover.

Sure it does... "pacifists are parasites of freedom"

The "republic, not a democracy" jazz annoys me with its glibness, especially when there's someone behind it like Neal Boortz, who should know better.

Neal annoys me in general. He should have just stuck with the Fair Tax idea instead of wantonly bashing the religious folks.

P.S.

Boortz was good when he was hammering the Muslims, but when he turned on the Christians in the same manner, it kind of ticked me off...

How many Christians use beheadings and rape in this country as a political tactic?

Well, congratulations. You've found a term that might actually be more vague than "republic," which isn't easy.

A polity is a political body -- it could be a town, a county, a state, a country, a freshman class, a scout troop, a PTA chapter, a debate club. The United States is a polity. So is the United Nations. So is the Elks lodge #1437 in Pigsknuckle, Arkansas.

Pigsknuckle, Arkansas.

Wasn't that a Dallas spinoff? No, wait, That was Knotts Landing.

While not the guy you're asking about, I have studied both arts extensively and demonstrated that at normal CQB ranges both can be drawn and applied in practically equal time.

[Squeako]

That was very interesting! Thanks!

I was the one who said, "No Capes!" Oh, BTW, some of them have capes...
