THINK ABOUT IT AFTER YOU READ IT
THEN READ IT AGAIN!
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."

of America", 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 illegals - 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.
