    At least you're honest enough to admit it.

    I don't know whether you mean to or not, but you seem to imply that this is some kind of closely guarded secret. Every American with a junior-high-school education knows the difference between a republic and a democracy, and that the United States of America is a republic. And everybody with even slightly more education than that knows why.
