Scary
Obituary
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:

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 byObama:
19 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won
by:Obama:
580,000 McCain: 2,427,000Â
Population of counties won by:Obama:
127 millionMcCain:
143 million
Murder rate per 100,000
residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2
McCain: 2.1
Professor Olson adds:
"In aggregate, the map of the territory McCain
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
theUnited
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..
This is truly
scary!
Of
course we are not a democracy, we are a
Constitutional Republic .
Someone should point
this out to Obama.
Of course we know he
and too many others pay little attention to The
Constitution.
There couldn't be more
at stake than on Nov 2012.
If you are as
concerned as I am please pass this
along.
