Good Quote Shea....... brings up the fact that the founding fathers formed a republic "I pledge ALLEGIANCE to the flag, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands........we have been coerced into thinking we are a democracy.....I am not sure what we are but if one wants to look into the difference between Republic and Democracy...... google will give you many sites to choose from....... john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbie Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Wow! This is exactly the reason my husband and I are moving to Costa Rica! It is so nice to hear others saying it out loud! Those quotes are great!! We realize no country is perfect but what is going on in the US...we are sick. I wonder if we will ever see a true Republic in the world ever again? "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." -Thomas Jefferson Have a great weekend everyone...Costa Rica here we come!
