This probably won't mean much here, but should anyone read it, keep an open mind, then you sure can't argue with the facts. Like I said..... one has to read it. As they say, facts don't lie. And let's just say, I wasn't crazy about McCain either. This social spending and taxing BS is ruining this country. Just read.....

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 2012
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 McCain: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 McCain: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million McCain: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:

Obama: 13.2 McCain: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory

McCain 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.
