			<description><![CDATA[<p>Email from a friend<br /><br />In 1887 Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the<br /><br />University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the<br /><br />Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior: A democracy is always<br /><br />temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent<br /><br />form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until<br /><br />the time that voters discover that they can vote themselves generous<br /><br />gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority<br /><br />always votes for the candidates who promise the most benefits from<br /><br />the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally<br /><br />collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is) always followed by a<br /><br />dictatorship.<br /><br />The average age of the world&#x27;s greatest civilizations from the<br /><br />beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200<br /><br />years, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:<br /><br />From bondage to spiritual faith;<br /><br />From spiritual faith to great courage;<br /><br />From courage to liberty;<br /><br />From liberty to abundance;<br /><br />From abundance to complacency;<br /><br />From complacency to apathy;<br /><br />From apathy to dependence;<br /><br />From dependence back into bondage.<br /><br />The Obituary follows:<br /><br />Born 1776, Died 2012<br /><br />It doesn&#x27;t hurt to read this several times.<br /><br />Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in<br /><br />St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning<br /><br />the last Presidential election:<br /><br />Number of States won by: Obama: 19 Romney: 29<br /><br />Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 Romney: 2,427,000<br /><br />Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million Romney: 143 million<br /><br />Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Obama: 13.2 Romney: 2.1<br /><br />Professor Olson adds: In aggregate, the map of the territory<br /><br />Romney won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens<br /><br />of the country.<br /><br />Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low<br /><br />income tenements and living off various forms of government<br /><br />welfare...<br /><br />Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the<br /><br />complacency and apathy phase of Professor Tyler&#x27;s definition of<br /><br />democracy, with some forty percent of the nation&#x27;s population<br /><br />already having reached the governmental dependency phase.<br /><br />If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million<br /><br />criminal invaders called illegals - and they vote - then we can say<br /><br />goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.<br /><br />If you are in favor of this, then by all means, delete this message.<br /><br />If you are not, then pass this along to help everyone realize just how<br /><br />much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our<br /><br />freedom..<br /><br />... &#x5b;&#xa0;<a href="/blogentry/76852">More</a>&#xa0;&#x5d;</p>]]></description>
