Democracy
&bull; "America will be the epitome of democracy, the top sort of government the world has ever identified. The world envies our type of government by the people." &bull; "America may be the freest nation on Earth." &bull; "In America we have some thing known as freedom which those in other countries don't have and wish they did." &bull; "It's a zero cost country." &bull; "Everyone at the rest of the globe dreams of coming to America."

These cherished fanatical beliefs of America and its propagandists have no real basis actually or fact, then again they are chanted by many Americans, their media and education program as a religion and set of Gospel truths which are universally agreed upon and unquestionable. Thus they are the antithesis to a absolutely free-thinking and reality-seeking mind.

one) "America may be the epitome of freedom and democracy for the world to emulate. It may be the most beneficial type of government by the individuals that the world envies."

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

The founding fathers never ever intended America to be a democracy and basically did not even feel in one. Most Americans would be shocked to discover this. Anyone who casually researches the American form of government and its founding at 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 reality, there's no mention of the word "democracy" at the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. Even the Pledge of Allegiance cited by school young children mentions that America is a Republic:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and towards the Republic for which it stands, 1 nation under 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.
