This is not new and most of us have read it before. The problem is that those who should read it either don’t give a damn or they are the low information voters who are getting the generous gifts.
Alexander Tyler’s prediction did not take these facts into consideration. We are not a democracy We ARE a Republic. We Americans have had the benefit of his wisdom and warning. We Americans have had the taste of freedom and have the will to fight a second revolution from the tyrants that wish to destroy our Republic. We Americans also by the grace of our forefathers have the wherewithal to fight for our independence by virtue of the second amendment.

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.
Sq. miles of land won by: Obama-580,000; Romney-2,427,000.
Population of Co. won by: Obama-127 mil; Romney-143 mil.
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..
Alexander Tyler’s prediction did not take these facts into consideration. We are not a democracy We ARE a Republic. We Americans have had the benefit of his wisdom and warning. We Americans have had the taste of freedom and have the will to fight a second revolution from the tyrants that wish to destroy our Republic. We Americans also by the grace of our forefathers have the wherewithal to fight for our independence by virtue of the second amendment.

Good job PohSoon--have not heard from you in a long time

Keith,

In the milestones reached section of the first part of your daily report, is the results returned no longer counted as a milestone after we reach 100,000? I am asking because my current results returned for MOT is 110,019 and I have not seen any update on this since I reached 100,000.
