User blog comment:Marshal6000/Why I Support Donald J. Trump/@comment-Roddy15-20160719180822

I can't directly reply to the comment so I'll just put the piece now and then reply:

"A. Socialism: The Pledge of Allegiance states (And I am quoting the original version) "I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the  Republic  for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." This is supposed to be a Republic, not democrat or communism or socialism or anything else (If I am reading it correctly)"

You do know a "Republic" is not a political ideology neither is democrat. The statement is factually incorrect. Ireland is a Republic but it's ideology is basically democractic socialism. If you had said "this is supposed to be a capitalist state" then sure that's right but America will always be a Republic if it was socialist, capitalist or any other ideology.

To quote the definition of a Republic:

"A form of government in which power is explicitly vested in the people, who in turn exercise their power through elected representatives"
