HOW LONG DO WE HAVE?
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"
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University
School of Law, St. Paul , Minnesota , points out
some interesting facts concerning
the 2000 Presidential election :
Number of States
won by: Democrats: 19 Republicans: 29
Square miles of land
won by: Democrats: 580,000 Republicans: 2,427,000
Population of counties
won by: Democrats: 127 million Republicans: 143 million
Murder rate per 100,000 residents
in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1
Professor Olson adds :
"In aggregate, the map of the territory Republicans
won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying
citizens of this great country.
Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens
living in government-owned 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.
Apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

Judicial Watch, the public interest group
that investigates and prosecutes government
corruption, announced today that it has obtained
documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation
(FBI) related to the 2007 investigation and arrest of
eight St. Louis, Missouri, workers from the "community
organization" Association of Community Organizations
for Reform Now (ACORN) for violation of election
laws and voter fraud.
The documents include handwritten notes from
FBI investigators interviewing canvassers working
with Project Vote, an ACORN affiliate. Among the
highlights from the FBI handwritten notes :
[ACORN] "Told employees not to talk to the FBI.
'FBI trying to intimidate you.'"
Fraudulent cards :
To cause confusion on election day
to keep polls open longer
To allow people who can't vote to vote.
To allow to vote multiple times.
Project Vote will pay them whether cards fake
or not - whatever they had to do to get the cards
was attitude.
Constantly threatened
Staff restricted on what to say to FBI
"Poverty pimpin" (sic) ACORN
ACORN HQ is working for the Democratic Party.
PV [Project Vote] pays ACORN $6.00 per card.
Said "You treat the cards like (cash) $"
Some [names] went right from the phone book
and made up the rest.
Canvassers : homeless, volatile, drug users, drunks.
Anyone who was against PV (Project Vote)
or ACORN's goals "right wing"
She thought if she used a completely fake name
it would be less like ID Theft.
"Yeah, it's against the law, I know."
In addition to the hand-written notes, the documents
also include copies of the arrest warrants, criminal case
cover sheets and court documents.
In April 2008, all eight ACORN employees involved
in the scandal pled guilty to voter registration fraud
