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

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 tax
paying 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..
GOD, PLEASE
SAVE AMERICA!
