What alienates me is that for 39 years, born and raised here, I have never heard people from any walk of life go on about democracy like this. We talk about Freedom, whatever that entails.

Democracy used this way sounds like an outsider looking in who has missed a key point. I have enabled you to be a more natural American, I could not bear this annoyance any longer.

"This fourth of July come on down to petes snack shack, celebrate your independence with our freedom pack"

"This fourth of July come on down to Abu Bin Abablalal eatery and celebrate our democracy!"

Have I ever celebrated democracy?
