Democracy

• "America may be the epitome of democracy, the perfect kind of government the globe has ever identified. The globe envies our sort of government by the individuals." • "America is the freest nation on Earth." • "In America we have something called freedom which those in other countries don't have and wish they did." • "It's a no cost country." • "Everyone at 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, having said that they are chanted by lots of Americans, their media and education technique as a religion and set of Gospel truths that are universally agreed upon and unquestionable. Thus they're the antithesis to a absolutely free-thinking and fact-seeking mind.

1) "America is the epitome of freedom and democracy for the globe to emulate. It will be the preferred style of government by the people that the globe envies."

We will discover into freedom later, yet for right now, let's address the democracy issue. Technically, a democracy is defined as a "rule by the majority". Hollywood, the media and our education method all chant that America will be the epitome of democracy as though it were a Gospel Truth that is universally agreed upon (still it isn't by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that several never ever dare to question it.

The founding fathers by no means intended America to be a democracy and truly did not even believe in one. Most Americans would be shocked to discover this. Anyone who casually researches the American style of government and its founding at the late 18th Century will see that technically, America was not set up as a democracy even so 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 youngsters 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, one 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.
