TweetHow 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 2000
Presidential election:

Number of States won by:
Gore: 19
Bush: 29

Square miles of land won by:
Gore: 580,000
Bush: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by:
Gore: 127 million
Bush: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore: 13.2
Bush: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won
was
mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country.
Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government
welfare...' Olson believes the United State s 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 and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the
USA in
fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of this then 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.

Thanks for reading.
