Democracy
&bull; "America will be the epitome of democracy, the perfect style of government the world has ever identified. The world envies our style of government by the people." &bull; "America will 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 free country." &bull; "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 truly or truth, on the other hand they're 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 cost-free-thinking and fact-looking mind.

1) "America may be the epitome of freedom and democracy for the globe to emulate. It may be the perfect type of government by the people that the globe envies."

We will locate into freedom later, in spite of this 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 may be the epitome of democracy as though it were a Gospel Truth that's universally agreed upon (on the other hand 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 essentially did not even think in one. Most Americans could be shocked to discover this. Anyone who casually researches the American form of government and its founding in the late 18th Century will see that technically, America was not set up as a democracy even so as a Constitutional Republic.

In reality, 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 children mentions that America is really a Republic:

"I pledge allegiance towards the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation below 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 basic flaw in a democracy is that the majority is unrestrained.
