HOW LONG DOES THE USA HAVE?
This is the most interesting thing I've
read in a long time. 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 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
good-bye 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.
As for me.....I say "buy more bullets".
