An Obituary for the USA.
Subject: FW: US Obituary
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 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
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
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.

Re: An Obituary for the USA.
This is exactly why I advocate for an electoral college based upon the majority vote of individual counties in each state, not the number of votes in each state. The reason is as simple as the post you made; that voters (who no longer must own property to earn the right to vote) can attempt (and succeed) in voting themselves inequality in their own favor on any majority rule vote system. The founders should have known that counties represent people in a complex yet very simple way; if you can afford to own property, you'll likely use it to improve yourself. Whether it's to be a place to grow a personal business or for appearances in your community, property ownership begets status. Property owners absolutely have rights above those who don't own property. The very nature of nature is built upon animals establishing territories and protecting those territories from others of their own kind even beside animals not of their own kind.
The electoral college doesn't go far enough. The idea was right, it just wasn't... complete.

THAT will never happen. It's a great idea for the...............NEXT........USA.
This USA will probably have to be extinguished 1st, then a new situation with landowners/taxpayers being able to vote or to have "more meaningfull"
votes.
votes.
