Email called Obituary

I got this email that’s circulating.

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."

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 40% of the nation’s population already having reached the “governmental dependency” phase.

If Congress grants amnesty and citizenship to 20 million criminal invaders called illegals and they vote - then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years. Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom…Of course we are not a democracy, we are a Constitutional Republic – Someone should point this out to Obama. Of course we know he and too many others pay little attention to The Constitution. "Fathom the hypocrisy of a Government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured ... but not prove they are a citizen." Unknown

Of course I had to check the facts and multiple sites said the same thing. The truth is: 

Obama won 365 electoral votes from 28 states and DC: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Caroline, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

McCain won 173 electoral votes from 22 states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Caroline, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

It the Professor can’t get the election statistics right, he obviously doesn’t have anything else right. This email is nothing but a blatant lie except for the part that there is a lot at stake. If you don’t want the wealthy to continue not being equal taxpayers and living off tax loopholes and subsidiaries you need to vote for Obama as he does understand our Constitution is meant for all and not just for the rich and powerful and/or the bigots of the country.
