A SCARY OBITUARY

Einstein said, "The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them."

This is sad -- But Think About it, after you read it, then read it again!

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 v**ers discover that they can v**e themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.

From that moment on, the majority always v**es 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."

Born 1776 - Died 2016

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 P**********l e******n:


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 illegal's and they v**e - 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.

It is always the lowest common denominator that brings about the destruction of society. Right now, we have a leader who panders the base desires that exist in every human heart. It won't be long now.

no propaganda please Loc: moon orbiting the third rock from the sun

It seems to me that Obama celebrates the most base behaviors of any human being. Deep in the soul of each of us there are desires that that we refuse to accept, and would never want to consider responding to them. Obama and other progressives want us to not only respond to them but to consider the vile behavior the glorious state of being the" true you" His belief seems to be that the deeper we wallow in the slime, the better people we are. The whispers from the devil are the shouts that Obama glorifies.

Most people see the danger and are willing to make sacrifices - as long as YOU make the sacrifice. We are always quick to point the finger and say "that has to go", when that finger is pointing far away from anything WE have or get. That's just human nature.

What makes a Nation great and KEEPS it great, is when individuals are willing to make PERSONAL sacrifices for the common good. When was the last time a politician suggested cutting their salaries or benefits, to balance a budget and meant it? ( campaign rhetoric does not count ) When was the last time a politicians went to their constituents and said " we are going to have to cut some stuff in our district, to cut spending"?

When our illustrious leaders ( that's from BOTH party's ) are unwilling to make personal sacrifices themselves, no one is going to jump on that bandwagon, just because it's the right thing to do. Everyone will be convinced that ONLY they are making a sacrifice, while everyone else cleans up and that is human nature as well.

If any party, or any politician, is serious about plugging the treasure leak in our country - THEY are going to have to make the first sacrifices. Lower their salaries, raise their retirement eligibility, cut their staffs, lower their benefits ( per diem, etc. ), reduce their travel and use public t***sportation.

Hell will be thoroughly frozen by the time THAT happens.
