The word: Democracy
Do you think it chaps Repug voters when their candidates (or their president) uses the term 'democracy'? I'm speaking here about the pride-of-ignorance types who probably don't understand the difference between the Democratic Party and a democracy.

I s'pose I could also ask: does it bother you when our nation is described as a 'republic'?

1. i'm always bothered by lies of significance, except for other times
Calling our nation a 'Republic' is a form of mental slavery. Yes, I am, without question, entirely against slavery.
