Scary
Obituary.....and it is occuring as you read
this...
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 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 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..
