Democracy

• "America could be the epitome of democracy, the most effective kind of government the globe has ever recognized. The world envies our style of government by the individuals." • "America will be the freest nation on Earth." • "In America we have some thing known as freedom which those in other countries do not have and wish they did." • "It's a free of charge country." • "Everyone in the rest of the world dreams of coming to America."

These cherished fanatical beliefs of America and its propagandists have no real basis basically or reality, in spite of this they are chanted by loads of 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 cost-free-thinking and truth-searching mind.

1) "America is the epitome of freedom and democracy for the world to emulate. It will be the greatest style of government by the individuals that the world envies."

We will uncover into freedom later, having said that for today, 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 even though it were a Gospel Truth that's universally agreed upon (however it is not by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that most never dare to question it.

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

In reality, there is certainly 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 really a Republic:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and towards 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.
