Hear, hear! Now can the 'patriots' lighten up a bit? Even Adams struggled with the word 'republic'.

    Everyone realizes this quote has nothing to do with the Republican Party right? It didn't exist yet for one thing and he was referring to a small "r" republican government i.e., a representative democracy in the Roman sense.
