Democracy

• "America will be the epitome of democracy, the greatest style of government the world has ever identified. The world envies our sort of government by the people." • "America could be the freest nation on Earth." • "In America we have some thing called freedom which those in other countries don't have and wish they did." • "It's a cost-free country." • "Everyone at the rest of the globe dreams of coming to America."

These cherished fanatical beliefs of America and its propagandists have no genuine basis really or reality, nonetheless they are chanted by a great deal of Americans, their media and education system as a religion and set of Gospel truths that are universally agreed upon and unquestionable. Thus they're the antithesis to a totally free-thinking and truth-looking mind.

1) "America may be the epitome of freedom and democracy for the world to emulate. It will be the very best form of government by the individuals that the world envies."

We will discover into freedom later, but 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 program all chant that America may be the epitome of democracy as while it had been a Gospel Truth that is universally agreed upon (on the other hand it isn't by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that numerous never dare to question it.

The founding fathers never ever intended America to be a democracy and basically did not even think in one. Most Americans could be shocked to learn this. Anyone who casually researches the American kind of government and its founding in the late 18th Century will see that technically, America was not set up as a democracy nevertheless as a Constitutional Republic.

In fact, 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 youngsters mentions that America is a Republic:

"I pledge allegiance towards the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, 1 nation under 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 basic flaw in a democracy is that the majority is unrestrained.
