I don't have Muslim friends who preach for all out jihad and the destruction of American democracy.

I don't have conservative friends who preach for all out insurrection and the destruction of American democracy.

Some choices aren't difficult.

It's a Republic because the wealthy knew the people would get it wrong and they needed representative government rather than democracy
