Democracy
&bull; "America could be the epitome of democracy, the preferred form of government the world has ever known. The world envies our type of government by the people." &bull; "America is the freest nation on Earth." &bull; "In America we have something referred to as freedom which those in other countries don't have and wish they did." &bull; "It's a totally free 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 actual basis actually or truth, but they're chanted by many 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 absolutely free-thinking and reality-looking mind.

1) "America could be the epitome of freedom and democracy for the world to emulate. It will be the most desirable type of government by the people that the globe envies."

We will discover into freedom later, even so 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 system all chant that America is the epitome of democracy as although it were a Gospel Truth that's universally agreed upon (then again it is just not by far). It is so ingrained in our culture that a number of by no means dare to question it.

The founding fathers never intended America to be a democracy and basically did not even think in one. Most Americans would be shocked to find out 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 even so as a Constitutional Republic.

In fact, there's no mention of the word "democracy" at the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution. Even the Pledge of Allegiance cited by school kids mentions that America is often a Republic:

"I pledge allegiance to 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 basic flaw in a democracy is that the majority is unrestrained.
