How Long Do We Have as a
Democracy?
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:
1.
from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to
great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to
abundance;
5. from abundance to
complacency;
6. from complacency to
apathy;
7. from apathy to
dependence;
8. From dependence back
into bondage"
We
are presently at #7.
The
ground
work for #8 is in place,
the concentration camps have been built
and the police state is here under the Patriot act.
#8 is closing in
fast, we must wake up very soon, or else,
it's back into bondage with a dictatorship!
Ron Paul is now running for President
in 2008
This is the one man that can
restore
our Republic.
