<<Now.. back to the point in question. Do you find it offensive that our Representative Republic (Democracy) was founded on the basis of a revolution that killed thousands of people, and was only successful due to the armed intervention of a foreign power>>

See...this is a beautiful example of where you completely lose your adversary in debate. This was NOT the point. This is a straw man that you presented when I pointed out to you that you spawn seriously incorrect assumptions about people who question your views. Now you will continually reply back and insist on an answer to the straw man. This will then allow you to validate your own narcissistic assumption that, just like Nadine, you are indeed a "great mind" and that anyone who thinks differently must be completely insane.
