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."
While
America is technically a Constitutional Republic rather than a democracy, the
comparison is shocking…..
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."

Interesting
facts from the 2012 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, and by Romney: 2.1
Conclusion: The territory Romney won was mostly the land
owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country. Obama territory mostly encompassed those
citizens living in low income tenements and living off various forms of 'government welfare'
The
United States is now somewhere between the ‘complacency and apathy’ phase of
decline, with some forty nine percent of the nation's population receiving some
form of government assistance (governmental dependency).
If
Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders
called illegals, and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer
than five years.
