Democracy

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

These cherished fanatical beliefs of America and its propagandists have no actual basis in fact or fact, but they're chanted by a lot 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 cost-free-thinking and reality-seeking mind.

one) "America is the epitome of freedom and democracy for the world to emulate. It could be the preferred style of government by the individuals that the world envies."

We will get into freedom later, but for at this time, let's address the democracy problem. Technically, a democracy is defined as a "rule by the majority". Hollywood, the media and our education program all chant that America may be the epitome of democracy as despite the fact that it were a Gospel Truth that is universally agreed upon (but it isn't by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that most never ever dare to question it.

The founding fathers never intended America to be a democracy and essentially did not even feel in one. Most Americans could 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 nevertheless as a Constitutional Republic.

In truth, 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 towards the flag of the United States of America, and towards the Republic for which it stands, one nation under 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 fundamental flaw in a democracy is that the majority is unrestrained.
