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 goodbye to the
USA in fewer than five years.
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.
090604 seems to be coming true...along with our
gun ownership being jeopardized. We will
be slaves if they are gone.
