Democracy
&bull; "America may be the epitome of democracy, the very best form of government the world has ever known. The world envies our style of government by the individuals." &bull; "America will be the freest nation on Earth." &bull; "In America we have something referred to as freedom which those in other countries don't have and wish they did." &bull; "It's a absolutely free country." &bull; "Everyone in the rest of the globe dreams of coming to America."

These cherished fanatical beliefs of America and its propagandists have no actual basis actually or fact, yet they are chanted by many Americans, their media and education method as a religion and set of Gospel truths which are universally agreed upon and unquestionable. Thus they're the antithesis to a free of charge-thinking and truth-looking mind.

1) "America may be the epitome of freedom and democracy for the world to emulate. It is the finest kind of government by the people that the globe envies."

We will locate into freedom later, having said that for these days, let's address the democracy concern. Technically, a democracy is defined as a "rule by the majority". Hollywood, the media and our education method all chant that America may be the epitome of democracy as though it had been a Gospel Truth which is universally agreed upon (yet it just isn't by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that plenty of by no means dare to question it.

The founding fathers never intended America to be a democracy and basically did not even think in 1. Most Americans could be shocked to discover this. Anyone who casually researches the American kind of government and its founding at the late 18th Century will see that technically, America was not set up as a democracy then again as a Constitutional Republic.

In truth, there's no mention of the word "democracy" in the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. Even the Pledge of Allegiance cited by school kids mentions that America can be a Republic:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

The founding fathers were intellectual elites who knew their history. They knew that a democracy was unsustainable, for it was in essence a rule by a lawless mob. The fundamental flaw in a democracy is that the majority is unrestrained.
