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:

"United States of America", 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 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 illegal’s - and they subsequently vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. (CANADA IS NOT FAR BEHIND!!!)

Mustard - the Boston bombers were Iraq refugee children to the U.S. from after the first Iraq war. Just sayin... be wary is all.

[samhill]

Mustardman, it's not French nationals the refugees are fleeing from but their own countrymen. So why do their leaders/governments not stop the terrorism, which is what our country would do. And the people of our country would support the government in such an endeavour. Civil wars do occur, usually over territory.
But terrorism such as this should be stopped by the people, unless the majority or government favours it.
It looks more and more like a planned/force emigration.

Chuck answer why the safe zone isn't the smartest thing to do? In fact it is likely the most
Humanitarian as a safe zone would be able to handle hundreds if thousands and not just spreading them to every western country in the world. Also they could then re populate their own country after Isis gone. Why isn't that the game plan and tell me why that doesn't make sense to you?

And as I write that doesn't that raise some concern itself when Isis has told all of us this is exactly what they will do spread out to every country and populate?

Wakopa I have thought the same in Canada with the re-election of Kathleen Wynn in Ontario, the election of the NDP in Alberta and the federal Liberals. Canadians have shown they will vote for the biggest promises and are becoming more and more dependant on government. They seem to believe government can solve all problems. Any talk of government cutbacks brings loud outcries. More government is part of the disease not the cure!!

Wakopa, thanks for that insightful post. Although it's frightening to think of where on that timeline we and our children are fitting in.

"If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to twenty million criminal invaders called illegal’s - and they subsequently vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years".

Ya, and who's going to do all the jobs that most US citizens don't want to do, if these so called 20 million CRIMINALS invaders are sent back to Mexico? Where will the US economy end up then?

[farmaholic]

Hell wakopa, that could hold true for individuals as well. I find myself in the abundance to complacency camp.
