im not a political guy, matter of fact i hate it.. but if i had to answer the question, i would say we are a Democratic-Republic, just like some of the first presidents were Democratic-Republicans... now its just way more screwed up, and the term has been altered and molested to fit anothers point of view...

but like i said, im not a politico...
