About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, 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 earlier:
"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 they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."
"From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to 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, those nations
always
progressed through the following sequence:

Professor Joseph
Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points
out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:

land won by:

Professor Olson
adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the
land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore's
territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned
tenements and living off various forms of government welfare..."
Olson believes the
United State s 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 and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer
than five years.
WHO AM I ?
Author Unknown
I was raised in
one country but my father was born in another. I was not his only
child. He fathered several children with a number of women.
I became very
close to my mother because my father showed little interest in me.
Then my mother died at an early age from cancer. Later in life,
questions arose over my real name. My birth records were sketchy and
no one was able to produce a reliable birth certificate.
I grew up
practicing one faith, but converted to Christianity because this was
widely accepted in my country. But I practiced non-traditional
beliefs and did not follow mainstream Christianity. I worked and
lived among lower-class people as a young adult before I decided it
was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new
career.
I wrote a book
about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my
memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned
me as a child. I became active in local politics when I was in my
30's and then burst onto the scene as a candidate for national
office when I was in my 40's. I had a virtually non-existent resume,
very little work history, and no experience in leading a single
organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker who managed to draw
incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.
At first, my
political campaign focused on my country’s foreign policy. I was
critical of my country in the last war. But what launched my rise to
national prominence were my views on the country’s economy. I had a
plan on how we could do better. I knew which group was responsible
for getting us into this mess.
Mine was a
peoples campaign.
I was the
surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional
path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support.
I offered the
people the hope that together we could change our country and the
world. I spoke on behalf of the downtrodden including persecuted
minorities such as Jews, but my actual views were not widely known
until after I became my nations leader. However, anyone could have
easily learned what I really believed if they had simply read my
writings and examined those people I associated with. But they did
not. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the
world learned the truth.
