Democracy
&bull; "America may be the epitome of democracy, the preferred type of government the globe has ever identified. The globe envies our form of government by the individuals." &bull; "America could be the freest nation on Earth." &bull; "In America we have something called freedom which those in other countries don't have and wish they did." &bull; "It's a no cost country." &bull; "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 in fact or fact, however they are chanted by a whole lot of Americans, their media and education method as a religion and set of Gospel truths that are universally agreed upon and unquestionable. Thus they are the antithesis to a zero cost-thinking and reality-looking mind.

one) "America may be the epitome of freedom and democracy for the world to emulate. It is the very best kind of government by the individuals that the globe envies."

We will locate into freedom later, having said that for today, let's address the democracy concern. Technically, a democracy is defined as a "rule by the majority". Hollywood, the media and our education system all chant that America is the epitome of democracy as despite the fact that it were a Gospel Truth that is universally agreed upon (then again it is not by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that a good number of by no means dare to question it.

The founding fathers by no means intended America to be a democracy and in fact didn't even feel in 1. Most Americans would be shocked to learn this. Anyone who casually researches the American type of government and its founding at the late 18th Century will see that technically, America was not set up as a democracy but as a Constitutional Republic.

In truth, there is 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 actually 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 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.
