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."

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..

I have read that same article- it sure applies to what we Re seeing done to this great country
-
And yet no one will listen till it's gone. This country is doomed if people don't wake up.

Our generation has seen the best....

Threads like this gets my blood boiling BECAUSE every word of it is true!!!!
My nephew is a Border Patrol out of McAllen, TX. He says the border is flooded with not only Mexicans, but Chinese and middle easterners as well. Chinese can't be deported back to a communist country. He had to carry a mexican to the hospital the other day for a bad toe........all at you know who's expense!!! I learned that if a pregnate mexican woman crosses the border and has her baby, they can be deported back, but when the child reaches the age of 18, he or she is a legal citizen of the good ol' US of A.
I hate it when an American starts a convienance store only to sell out a year later to some foriegner that has a pocket full of money!
I accuse my wife of the same thing. We have a grey fox and several coons that come up to eat. At first they only came at night, but here lately they've been coming during the day too,and still at night,........for their........"entitlement"!! The fox has raised a litter of kits here for the last 8 years. She eats some then carries the rest back to her den. Now, what is she teaching those babies??? How to hunt and be self-supportive?? Nope......just go up to that gray house (not White House) where there is food a plenty and they will take care of you! She even has her own bowl in which she will just lay out by untill my wife comes and puts cat food in it.

Don't know what you got, till it's gone..... Wake up America!

Sad but true. Something has got to be done to close our borders. I don't have a problem with people wanting to better their life. They just need to go about it in the right way. Just dumping themselves on the USA is not the right way.
