Mitt Romney would have been an excellent president and Paul Ryan would have been an excellent VP, quite the oppositein value to what we have. If only Mitt were not so honest about that 47%.
We have seen some form of this in the
past but it is a reminder of what to expect in the not too
distant future unless serious changes are
made.

Obituary
|
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."
"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."
The Obituary follows:
Born
1776, Died 2012
It doesn't hurt to read
this several times.
Professor Joseph
Olson of Hamline University School of Law
in
St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some
interesting facts concerning the last
Presidential 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;
Romney: 2.1
Professor Olson adds:
"In aggregate, the map of 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..."
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 illegals - 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..
