Obituary. Born 1776. Died 2012.

FROM TIME-TO-TIME I RECEIVE SOME PRETTY INTERESTING EMAILS.  THIS IS ONE THAT I THINK YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN READING.  I CANNOT VOUCH FOR EVERY BIT OF THIS BEING THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH BECAUSE I HAVE NOT RESEARCHED THESE FACTOIDS.  FEEL FREE TO RESEARCH THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF YOU FIND ANY OF THIS AS UNTRUE...

..........................................

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..

Wall Street Occupation & Protests. Why Isn't Main Stream Media Covering This?

 Hundreds of pilots from United/Continental showed up in full dress and made a show in support for their union during an ongoing labor dispute. They stood in an area on Broad Street, near Wall Street and the Stock Exchange. The organization is unrelated (formally) to #occupywallstreet; it just happened to coincide at the same time. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150302611522282&set=a.10150302611497282.333112.680962281&type=1&theater

Government Is Not Reason

"Government is not reason, it is not eloquence--it is a force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action." -- George Washington

Equality and Slavery

"Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom." -- Alexis de Tocqueville - "Democracy in America" (1835)

"Why I Voted Democrat" - Political Humor

I received this in an email and thought it quite humorous so I am passing it along.

*************************************************************************************
Why I Voted Democrat

I voted Democrat because I love the fact that I can now marry whatever I
want. I've decided to marry my horse.

I voted Democrat because I believe oil companies' profits of 4% on a gallon
of gas are obscene but the government taxing the same gallon of gas at 15%
isn't.

I voted Democrat because I believe the government will do a better job of
spending the money I earn than I would.

I voted Democrat because freedom of speech is fine as long as nobody is
offended by it.

I voted Democrat because when we pull out of Iraq, I trust that the bad
guys will stop what they're doing because they now think we're good people.

I voted Democrat because I'm way too irresponsible to own a gun, and I know
that my local police are all I need to protect me from murderers and
thieves.

I voted Democrat because I believe that people who can't tell us if it will
rain on Friday can tell us that the polar ice caps will melt away in ten
years if I don't start driving a Prius.

I voted Democrat because I'm not concerned about the slaughter of millions
of babies so long as we keep all death row inmates alive.

I voted Democrat because I believe that business should not be allowed to
make profits for themselves. They need to break even and give the rest away
to the government for redistribution as THEY see fit.

I voted Democrat because I believe liberal judges need to rewrite the
Constitution every few days to suit some fringe kooks who would never get
their agendas past the voters.

I voted Democrat because my head is so firmly planted up my butt that it is
unlikely that I'll ever have another point of view.

"A Liberal is a person who will give away everything they don't own."

"The problem with Socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's
money."

Feel free to send this to your friends and family.

I don't know that Republican is that much better at this point than Democrat. I think I'll start my own party called the Natasha Call Constitutional Respect Party or something. The respect for people and for history seems to have been pushed out the door and is being replaced by government control and social programs that will also cause individuality to disappear with the U.S. Constitution.

As the frustration mounts, it is likely that social control will change to massive social unrest and another civil war. It's like watching a massive accident in slow motion with no way to change the outcome. You just watch in horror as car after car buckles under the pressure of being slammed into each other, losing control, losing lives, crumbling, burning, shredding rubber, shattered glass flying, metal and fiberglass smashed as if the vehicles have been place in a trash compactor...a disaster for most involved, even if they are wearing their seat belts and their airbags are functional.

When are those who are supposedly speaking our voices going to listen to them and change the collision course?

"The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."

– Thomas Jefferson

Freedom and Democracy.

"Freedom exists only where the people take care of the government." -- Woodrow Wilson

"Democracy is a very simple principle, and those who speculate about its meaning are those who are not quite willing to accept it. The dictionary defines it as "the rule of the people." Not much more need be said about it." -- Bernard Smith

Extraordinary Possibilties.

"Democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in everyday people." -- Harry Emerson Fosdick
