And a "constitutional republic" is a form of democracy. (Why people keep throwing this red herring up to rebut the fact we live in a democracy is baffling to me. It's pedantic to the extreme.) In fact, you sound a little crazy. Sir it is different and you know the distinction between the two . Don't play dumb. There is a difference between a constitutional republic and a democracy. A “democracy is run by people and republic is run by the laws of constitution.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you support us common folk taking it in the shorts at the gas pump and just say "oh, it's for a 'noble' cause"? Your question is irrelevant, as I believe Sleepyhead Joe's premise is flawed (and that's generous). I'll answer it, though. No, I didn't. I know you love to argue, but I ain't biting any further, as we're not going to agree. Have the last word if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly enough, during Carter’s administration we were not at war, but the big issue to Carter was the dependence of foreign oil. We had energy independence until 2021 and America is not at war. There is a war going on and America seems to put that war at a high financial priority. I hope it works our as we are about to go into a recession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a congressional hearing. Second, the people who (presumably) could represent the other "side" refuse to testify. (Undoubtedly because of that lying-while-under-oath thing.) Thirdly, there is no reason not to believe the people who are testifying, after all, they are all Trump Republicans and were there. And they are willing to testify while under oath.

Those republicans are the rhinos. The establishment Republicans. They are not truthfully and almost all that stuff you heard in Jan 6th committee are snippets and pieced together BS that you believe because you want to believe it. When they show entire quotes and put things in context the narrative falls apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake ppl that are establishment Republicans not fake establishment. Trump is populist right but Wikipedia's definition is a left wing view and described incorrectly.

While you are trying to come up with an example, here's 5 Republicans who have been asked but are refusing: "The Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol sent subpoenas to House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, Andy Biggs of Arizona, Jim Jordan of Ohio, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania and Mo Brooks of Alabama. The Republican members all had been invited to testify voluntarily, committee Chairman Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), said in a Thursday news release." https://tennesseelookout.com/2022/05/12/u-s-house-jan-6-committee-subpoenas-5-gop-members-who-declined-to-testify/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever reference made by every figure in our history plus everyone in the whole world that describes America as a democracy is just wrong. You betcha. What a classical example of a pedantic argument taken to an extreme. Edited July 4, 2022 by homersapien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
