Democracy
&bull; "America is the epitome of democracy, the most desirable kind of government the globe has ever recognized. The world envies our type of government by the people." &bull; "America is the freest nation on Earth." &bull; "In America we have some thing referred to as freedom which those in other countries do not have and wish they did." &bull; "It's a absolutely free country." &bull; "Everyone in the rest of the world dreams of coming to America."

These cherished fanatical beliefs of America and its propagandists have no genuine basis really or reality, but they are chanted by many Americans, their media and education method as a religion and set of Gospel truths that are universally agreed upon and unquestionable. Thus they're the antithesis to a free of charge-thinking and reality-searching mind.

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

We will get into freedom later, still for at this time, let's address the democracy issue. Technically, a democracy is defined as a "rule by the majority". Hollywood, the media and our education system all chant that America could be the epitome of democracy as though it were a Gospel Truth that's universally agreed upon (yet it just isn't by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that a great number of by no means dare to question it.

The founding fathers never intended America to be a democracy and truly did not even feel in 1. Most Americans would be shocked to discover this. Anyone who casually researches the American style of government and its founding in the late 18th Century will see that technically, America was not set up as a democracy having said that as a Constitutional Republic.

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

"I pledge allegiance towards the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, 1 nation below God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

The founding fathers had been 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.
