The End of The USA As We Know 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 A
thenian 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 thro ugh 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's and they vote, then we can say good-bye to the
USA as we know it in fewer than five years.

With the judges and politicans that we have today, we are not a land of laws anymore. Our politicans are not there for the country and its citizens, they are out to make millions of dollars by using earmarks to fund their friends, etc. They miss use their power for personnel gain. We need to stop earmarks and have agencies do their jobs.

Thanks - that's a great article. I've thought about this for a long time, and it seems that there might be no way of stopping it. It's true that governments come and go. We've been made complacent by our consumerism and greed, without any thought to banding together as citizens - to each his own is the new motto, so we have let the government take over while we sleep.
Maybe we can put off the "dictatorship" part of it for awhile - Bush is trying, but we're not buying!

Good article,
The only problem I have is the article is trying to say that somehow Bush represents law abiding citizens.
This immigration horror and this President's hand in it, should tell everyone this President definitely represents someone other than law abiding citizens.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

For me, there isn't a difference between the two parties or the candidates when it comes to the things that are the most dangerous for this country. They all seem to be on the same wave length when it comes to destroying this country. For that reason, I am sensitive to anything even pretending there is some difference or seeming to show any support for this PResident.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)

It's an awful feeling being a republican and seeing the guy you voted for let the country down. Bush betrayed his own party and then went on a mission to destroy the country by allowing this illegal alien invasion that will change this country into something none of us will reconize in a few years"a third world country". I feel this man is evil and he's not alone in his twisted mind. I feel both parties are the same, and now want nothing to do with neither one.

It was hard on me as well. I am a 3rd generation conservative, TExas Republican. When I was a kid, I thought my family were the only Republicans in TExas. Most of the South and certainly my part of Texas was 'Yellow Dog Democrat' country.
When you really look back, however, we can realize that both parties have been working together for the things that are destroying this country.
They may have seemed to fuss and rant and rave - but they have acted in tandem on things like globalization, bad trade deals, illegal immigration, HB workers, politically correct witchhunts, gathering more and more power into the federal government, destroying our education system, etc. etc. The goal to destroy America has been an ongoing thing through many and varied administrations.
