CNN Scandalized By The Idea America Is A Republic, Not A Democracy

On Friday's CNN News Central, O'Sullivan was seen on the road with Trump voters, where he was aghast at the idea that they view America as a republic, not a democracy.

The clips of Reagan and Bush were juxtaposed with Speaker Mike Johnson and Fox News hosts Will Cain and Pete Hegseth claiming America is a republic, not a democracy.

O'Sullivan lamented, "I've heard a lot of conspiracy theories - I hear a lot of things out on the road. But to hear Americans - people who would describe themselves as patriots - say that America is not a democracy - that stopped me in my tracks."

Applebaum can "Think" as much as she wants, but the idea that America is a republic and not a democracy and therefore politicians can't legislate away the First Amendment's religious liberty provisions, the Second Amendment, or any of other part of the Bill of Rights or Reconstruction Amendments has been around for a while.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE 2: America is not a democracy; it's a republic.

O'SULLIVAN: But some Republicans and pro-Trump media are pushing the idea that America is not a democracy.

O'SULLIVAN: I've heard a lot of conspiracy theories - I hear a lot of things out on the road. But to hear Americans - people who would describe themselves as patriots - say that America is not a democracy - that stopped me in my tracks.

Editor's Commentary: 

America is a shining example of a constitutional republic, where the power ultimately rests with 'We the People', not simply with the majority rule. Our founding fathers wisely established a system of checks and balances, ensuring that no single person or group gains too much power.

In a republic like ours, we elect representatives who make laws and decisions on our behalf. This safeguards against the potential tyranny of direct democracy, where the rights of minorities could be easily trampled upon by the whims of the majority.

Our republic stands for freedom and liberty, with a strong emphasis on individual rights and responsibilities. It's a system that has served us well for over two centuries, and it's our duty to uphold and protect these ideals, ensuring that America remains a beacon of hope and opportunity for generations to come.

As President Reagan once said, "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same."

Let's keep that spirit alive!

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

  Multiple U.S. states governed by Republicans are withdrawing state funds from BlackRock's management, as they disapprove of the ESG investment policies of the world's top asset manager, the Financial Times reports.

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
