MisfitsCafe.com - Sad but True

 

The sad thing about it, you can see it coming.

 

I 
have always heard about this democracy countdown..

It is interesting to see it in print.

God help us, not that we deserve it.

 

How 
Long Do We Have?

 

About the time our original thirteen states adopted 

their new constitution in 1787, 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 earlier:

 

'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 they can vote themselves 
generous gifts from the public treasury.'

 

' From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most

benefits from the public treasury, with the result

that every democracy will finally collapse

due to 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, those nations always progressed 
through the following sequence:

 

1. 
from bondage to spiritual faith;

 

2. 
from spiritual faith to great courage;

 

3. 
from courage to liberty;

 

4. 
from liberty to abundance;

 

5. 
from abundance to complacency;

 

6. 
from complacency to apathy;

 

7. 
from apathy to dependence;

 

8. 
from dependence back into bondage'

 

Professor Joseph Olson of   Hemline University 
School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota  
points out some interesting facts concerning the

2008 Presidential election:

 

Number of States won by:

 Democrats: 19

Republicans: 29 

 

Square miles of land won by:

Democrats: 580,000 
Republicans: 2,427,000

 

Population of counties won by:

Democrats: 127 million 
Republicans: 143 million

 

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: 
Democrats: 13.2

Republicans: 2.1

 

Professor Olson adds:

'In aggregate, the map of the territory the
Republican won was mostly the land owned by the 
taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat 
territory mostly encompassed those citizens living 
in government-owned tenements and living off various 
forms of government welfare...' Olson believes the 
United States is 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.

 

WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, 
ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!
