Obituary - Very Interesting
In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of
Edinborough, 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 2012
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 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 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 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.
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.
