One thing about this forum - whenever we're complaining about politicians, it's usually Dems. Which is odd, because the Reps are just as big morons.

Of course we can't dismiss the fact it might be my massively biased opinion and not reflected in reality. But merely a projection of my anti-politician/anti-authority politics...

I know what Republic means, but I don't always know what you mean especially when you use words in jest in a one-liner with no context to figure it out. I'm not always sure whether they are meant in jest or not. In this specific context you said Republic without a capital "R", I still don't get the joke however, if a joke was intended.
A republican as in someone supportive of a republican gov't, not a Republican as in a member of the Republican Party.
So how would it be different from the Republican Party? Refer definition in Wikipedia of a Republican Government:^^^
This.
Because the Republican Party (of today) is a religious fundamentalist party bent of global domination and medieval Christian vales not unlike the Taliban and have absolutely 0 interest in republicanism? :giggle:
Obviously you do not agree/or are in doubt whether the US is a good example of republicanism, so which country in your opinion is?
How many would you like?
Germany
Cuba
Egypt
France
Yemen
United States
Switzerland
Iran
Russia
Venezuela
India

Brazil
Ethiopia
Austria
Argentina
Pakistan
Vietnam
Turkey

Sudan
Syria
Poland
Finland
Peru
Georgia
Guyana
Iraq
Hungary
Iceland

Will that do, or would you like more?
Thanks for the list. What I thought I was going to get would be countries that in David's estimation met the real criteria for a Republic, having been critical of the Republican Party. Quite a large number of the countries in the list of "Republics" do not meet the Wikipedia definition of what a Republic is:

Republic
A republic is a community (not always a state) ruled by an elected non-monarch and sometimes administered by a legisatior, ussalyy elected. The 2 latter points not always being elected. Republics are also not always demacratic.
Also, what does not liking the Republican Party have to do with a republic?

I think it was you who brought it up and pointed out that there was a difference between the two.
Or maybe it was me with the "small r" stunt?
Basically, the Republican Party is a political party with a neo-conservative ideology. However, republicanism is the desire for society without a monarchy.
Does that help?
