Democracy
&bull; "America will be the epitome of democracy, the most desirable form of government the world has ever known. The globe envies our form of government by the people." &bull; "America will be the freest nation on Earth." &bull; "In America we have something referred to as freedom which those in other countries do not have and wish they did." &bull; "It's a cost-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 genuine basis essentially or reality, on the other hand they are chanted by a great deal of Americans, their media and education method as a religion and set of Gospel truths that are universally agreed upon and unquestionable. Thus they are the antithesis to a free of charge-thinking and reality-searching mind.

1) "America is the epitome of freedom and democracy for the globe to emulate. It will be the best kind of government by the individuals that the globe envies."

We will acquire into freedom later, nevertheless 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 system all chant that America will be the epitome of democracy as though it were a Gospel Truth that is universally agreed upon (yet it isn't by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that lots of by no means dare to question it.

The founding fathers never intended America to be a democracy and in fact didn't even believe in one. Most Americans could be shocked to learn 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 on the other hand as a Constitutional Republic.

In fact, there's no mention of the word "democracy" at the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. Even the Pledge of Allegiance cited by school children mentions that America is actually a Republic:

"I pledge allegiance towards the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation below 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 basic flaw in a democracy is that the majority is unrestrained.
