All I can say that most any reasonably intelligent person understands the origins of democracy.
I hear people say stupid stuff all the time, but I don't think that it's indicative of the populace at large.
I always figured the 'freedom' stuff came from the war for independence. You know....throw off a king, setup a sort of democracy and all that. At that point in time, most world powers had kings/queens, not elections. Over time, it has lost it's meaning, sure.
