			<description><![CDATA[<p>Scary Obituary . . . and it is occurring as you read this . . .<br /><br />those who do not learn from history are doomed by repeating it<br /><br />In 1887 Alexander Tyler,<br /><br />a Scottish history professor at the University of<br /><br />Edinburgh , had this to say about the fall of<br /><br />the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years prior:<br /><br />A democracy is always temporary in nature; it<br /><br />simply cannot exist as a permanent form<br /><br />of government. A democracy will continue to<br /><br />exist up until the time that voters discover<br /><br />that they can vote themselves generous gifts<br /><br />from the public treasury.<br /><br />From that moment on, the majority always<br /><br />votes for the candidates who promise the most<br /><br />benefits from the public treasury, with the<br /><br />result that every democracy will finally<br /><br />collapse over loose fiscal policy, (which is)<br /><br />always followed by a dictatorship. The average<br /><br />age of the world&#x27;s greatest civilizations from<br /><br />the beginning of history, has been about 200<br /><br />years. During those 200 years, these nations<br /><br />always progressed through the following<br /><br />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,<br /><br />Died 2012<br /><br />It doesn&#x27;t hurt to read this several times.<br /><br />Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline<br /><br />University School of Law in St. Paul,<br /><br />Minnesota, points out some<br /><br />interesting facts concerning the last<br /><br />Presidential election:<br /><br />Number of States won by:<br /><br />Obama: 19<br /><br />Romney: 29<br /><br />Square miles of land won by:<br /><br />Obama: 580,000<br /><br />Romney: 2,427,000<br /><br />Population of counties won by:<br /><br />Obama: 127 million<br /><br />Romney: 143 million<br /><br />and...<br /><br />Murder rate per 100,000 residents in<br /><br />counties won by:<br /><br />Obama: 13.2<br /><br />Romney: 2.1<br /><br />Professor Olson adds:<br /><br />In aggregate, the map of the territory Romney<br /><br />won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying<br /><br />citizens of the country.<br /><br />Obama territory mostly encompassed those<br /><br />citizens living in low income tenements and<br /><br />living off various forms of government welfare...<br /><br />Olson believes the<br /><br />United States is now somewhere between the<br /><br />complacency and apathy phase of Professor<br /><br />Tyler&#x27;s definition of democracy, with some forty<br /><br />percent of the nation&#x27;s population already<br /><br />having reached the governmental dependency<br /><br />phase..<br /><br />If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship<br /><br />to twenty million criminal invaders called<br /><br />illegal s - 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,<br /><br />delete this message.<br /><br />If you are not, then pass this along to help<br /><br />everyone realize just how much is at stake,<br /><br />knowing that apathy is the greatest danger<br /><br />to our freedom..<br /><br />... &#x5b;&#xa0;<a href="/blogentry/93096">More</a>&#xa0;&#x5d;</p>]]></description>
