In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at
the
University of
Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of the
Athenian Republic
some 2,000 years prior: "A democracy is always
temporary in nature; it
simply cannot exist as a permanent
form of government. A
democracy will continue to exist up until
the time that voters
discover that they can vote themselves generous
gifts from the public
treasury. From that moment on, the majority
always votes for the
candidates who promise the most benefits from
the public treasury,
with the result that every democracy will finally
collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is)
always followed by a
dictatorship."
"The average age of the world's greatest
civilizations from the
beginning of history,
has been about 200 years. During those 200
years, these nations
always progressed through the following sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to
great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
>From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage."
The Obituary follows:
Born 1776, Died 2016
It doesn't hurt to read this several times.
Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University
School of Law in
St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting
facts concerning
the last Presidential election:
Number of States won
by: Obama:
19
Romney: 29
Square miles of land won by:
Obama: 580,000 Romney: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127
million Romney: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won
by:
Obama:
13.2
Romney: 2.1
Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the
territory
Romney won was mostly the land owned by the
taxpaying citizens of the country.
Obama territory mostly encompassed those
citizens living in low
income tenements and living off various forms of
government
welfare..."
Olson believes the United States is now somewhere
between the
"complacency and apathy" phase of
Professor Tyler's definition of
democracy, with some forty percent of the
nation's population
already having reached the "governmental
dependency" phase..
If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to
twenty million
criminal invaders called illegal
�
s - and they vote - then we can say
goodbye to the USA
in fewer than five years.
If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete
this message.
If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone
realize just how
much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the
greatest danger to our
freedom.. get out and vote!
