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.”

And here we have the injection of socialism, the poison to freedom the poison to motivation and innovation.

Here we have the class wars we see in socialized health care, the class wars we have in the “war against poverty” by John Edwards, the open borders and amnesty to build an allegiance in the poor. The injection of handouts will serve only to weaken democracy.

“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”

So where exactly are we on this timeline?
I would say we sit around number 6 and the next election may just push us to number 7 if the socialist Hillary Clinton is to win.

    If I must accept America as it is today rampant with politically corrupt leadership; To hell with America. If the best America offers is the likes of Bush; Reid; Polosie then to hell with America. If American streets are to be awash with criminal aliens then to hell with America. If laws are to be inforced against citizens while criminal aliens are left on the streets to murder and rape again and again then to hell with America. America ranks 27th in the world in health care for its citizens, while criminal aliens use American law to demand taxpayer services citizens must pay for; To hell with America. I could go on and on, but I will stop now and simply say to hell with America and its democracy.
