The essence of freedom is the proper limitation of government.

In a previous commentary we opined  that Most Americans Are Leftists and presented supporting evidence in the form of two political spectrum graphics.

A traditional view of the political spectrum as discussed in the mainstream and indoctrinated by pedagogues into the minds of millions of unsuspecting children, teens and college graduates :

A true view of the political spectrum as it has existed throughout history:

The idea that most Americans, and citizens of the world for that matter, are leftists really comes down to one’s point of reference. The concept is completely lost on those beholden to the “Traditional” political spectrum view who have never been exposed to or had the opportunity to contemplate other possibilities. It begins to make much more sense when considered with respect to the “True” view.

The following micro-documentary, The American Form of Government, presents a more expanded look at the True View spectrum and argues that there exist only two types of government – oligarchy and republic – with a transitory state of democracy which exists between the two.

This is one to share with family, friends and those in need of a (hopefully insightful and life-changing) provocation of their world view.

Now that we understand what kind of government we’re supposed to have in America and why, the question that needs to be answered is: what kind of government do we actually have?
