Democracy

• "America will be the epitome of democracy, the finest sort of government the world has ever known. The world envies our type of government by the individuals." • "America is the freest nation on Earth." • "In America we have some thing called 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 world dreams of coming to America."

These cherished fanatical beliefs of America and its propagandists have no genuine basis actually or reality, then again 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 are the antithesis to a no cost-thinking and reality-searching mind.

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

We will obtain into freedom later, having said that for today, let's address the democracy problem. Technically, a democracy is defined as a "rule by the majority". Hollywood, the media and our education method all chant that America is the epitome of democracy as even though it had been a Gospel Truth that is universally agreed upon (on the other hand it is not by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that a lot of never ever dare to question it.

The founding fathers never intended America to be a democracy and essentially did not even believe in one. Most Americans could be shocked to discover this. Anyone who casually researches the American kind 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 reality, there's 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, 1 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.
