Dave Rubin played this video (probably 60 years or so old) on his show this morning. I found it on the YouTube channel named The Benny Show. It features Howard “Dan” Smoot, who was an FBI agent and a conservative. From 1957 to 1971, he published The Dan Smoot Report, which chronicled communist infiltration in various sectors of American government and society. He very clearly describes the differences between a Constitutional Republic (our form of government) and a Democracy.
Thanks Stella. This is probably my bigges pet peeve, and I literally cringe whenever I hear someone refer to US as a democracy. And it happens often!
