Democracy
&bull; "America will be the epitome of democracy, the ideal style of government the globe has ever identified. The world envies our type of government by the individuals." &bull; "America will be the freest nation on Earth." &bull; "In America we have some thing 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 genuine basis truly or truth, still they are chanted by a whole lot of Americans, their media and education system as a religion and set of Gospel truths that are universally agreed upon and unquestionable. Thus they are the antithesis to a no cost-thinking and truth-searching mind.

one) "America will be the epitome of freedom and democracy for the globe to emulate. It could be the top form of government by the individuals that the globe envies."

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

The founding fathers by no means intended America to be a democracy and in fact didn't even believe in one. Most Americans would be shocked to learn this. Anyone who casually researches the American type of government and its founding in the late 18th Century will see that technically, America was not set up as a democracy yet as a Constitutional Republic.

In fact, there is certainly 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 is actually a Republic:

"I pledge allegiance towards 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.
