HOW LONG DO WE 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.

 
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: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29

 
Square miles of land won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000

 
Population of counties won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million

 
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1

 
Professor Olson adds: 'In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Democrat 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'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.
