Democracy

HOW LONG DOES THE USA HAVE?

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
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 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 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 en Pass this along to help everyone realize just how
much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to
our freedom
