Is it true that America had a democracy for a short time?

Advertisements [?]

Okay, sorry folks...saw a similar subject and it made me think about how things are going "here" (betraying my own tendency to Americentricize this forum)...

And I'll stipulate that "we" have generally embraced a democratic republic (funny how those words have diverged, politically)...but I think my question is still valid given what has happened the last 2.5 years under the quasi-leadership of G.W. Shrub & Cabal.

I've never heard this short phrase, so perhaps I'm coining it..."We deserve what we allow."
