HOW LONG DOES THE USA HAVE LEFT?

This is the most interesting thing I’ve read in a long time. The sad thing about it, you can see it coming.

I have always heard about this democracy countdown. It is interesting to see it in print. God help us, not that we deserve it.

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.

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by: Democrats: 13.2 Republicans: 2.1

In aggregate, the map of the territory Republican 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…’ 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.

Am I the only one who can’t stand Obama’s voice? I have to literally mute the tv whenever he’s on. If he wins, I won’t be watching much tv the next 4 years.

His voice is so arrogant, and he tries to be so “cool”, and he’s got that arrogant head cock. Imagine if a Republican mispronounced certain words (Obama mispronounces “to” and “policies”; Bush got attacked for mispronouncing “nuclear”.)

For example, he pronounces “to” as “tuh”. Remember when they mocked Bush over his twang?

Obama: The Manchurian candidate? This is brief, so please read and pass it on:

Forget, for the moment, Obama’s radical associations (Ayers, Wright, Rezco, etc.), which would disqualify him to work for the CIA or FBI. Forget his thin resume and total lack of foreign policy experience. Forget that his voting record was ranked as most liberal in the Senate.

Could Obama be the “Manchurian candidate” — hiding his true agenda from the American people? Indeed, he is a longtime disciple of far-leftist Saul Alinsky, whose mission was to teach radicals to disguise their true ideology.

How does Obama’s campaign mirror Alinsky’s teachings? Please spend three minutes to find out:

The Democratic nominee’s slogan of “change” is also that of Alinsky, circa 1946: Obama’s campaign is straight out of Alinsky’s playbook.

Alinsky was dedicated to revolutionary change that he was convinced, “must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, nonchallenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system, that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future.” (Sound familiar?)

Obama was trained by Chicago’s Industrial Areas Foundation, founded in 1940 by the radical Alinsky. In the 80s, Obama spent years as director of the Developing Communities Project, which operated using Alinsky’s strategies, and was involved with two other Alinsky-oriented entities, ACORN and Project Vote.

On Obama’s website can be found a photo of him teaching in a University of Chicago classroom with “Power Analysis” and “Relationships Built on Self Interest” on the blackboard — key terms utilized in the Alinsky method.

The far-left Alinsky had no time for liberals; he wanted nothing less than transformational radicalism. “The hope and future of America lies with its radicals.” He continued: “This is the job for today’s radical — to fan the embers of hopelessness into a flame to fight. To say, ’let us change it together!’” Capitalism was always considered the enemy.

Obama calls his years as an Alinsky-esque community organizer in Chicago, “the best education I ever had.” But as radicalism expert Richard Lawrence Poe noted, “Camouflage is key to Alinsky-style organizing.”

Alinsky’s writings even explain what often seems like Obama’s oversized ego. In New Hampshire in January, the senator told an audience that “a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany… and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama.”

It was a bizarre spectacle, but consider that Alinsky believed that “anyone who is working against the haves is always facing heavy odds. If he or she does not have that complete self-confidence (or call it ego) that he can win, then the battle is lost.”

According to Alinsky, “Ego must be so all-pervading that the personality of the organizer is contagious, that it converts the people from despair to defiance, creating a mass ego.”

Alinsky also readily admitted that he didn’t trust the people themselves. “Seeking some meaning in life,” the middle class, according to Alinsky, “turn to an extreme chauvinism and become defenders of the ’American’ faith.”

This is evocative of Obama’s remark during the primaries that small-town Americans are “bitter” and “cling to guns or religion.”

Obama is also following Alinsky’s instructions to the hard left for attaining power in America. In the last chapter of “Rules for Radicals,” titled “The Way Ahead,” is found this declaration: “Activists and radicals, on and off our college campuses — people who are committed to change — have contemptuously rejected the values and way of life of the middle class. They have stigmatized it as materialistic, decadent, bourgeois, degenerate, imperialistic, war-mongering, brutalized, and corrupt.”

Alinsky cautioned his comrades that an effective radical activist disguise his true agenda, “to radicalize parts of the middle class.”

Bush 1 in ’92, Dole in ’96, Gore in ’00, Kerry in ’04, and possibly McCain in ’08. Five straight veterans (Gore, kinda) losing to non-veterans.

Dems are positively giddy about the prospect of winning a squeaker in the Electoral College, whilst losing the actual popular vote. Posters on Kos were discussing this as “revenge” for the 2000 Electoral College outcome.

The most recent “poll of polls” shows McCain up bu a point or two in the general election. However, RCP shows that were the election held today, Obama would secure a 273-265 EC victory. The reason for this may be that McCain’s red/southern states became redder after the Palin selection, while the swing states barely moved.

This scenario assumes Obama snatches Colorado, which could become this year’s Florida.

It is also conceivable that Obama could lose the popular vote yet secure an electoral college tie, 269-269, throwing the election into the House, where he’d surely prevail.

Why don’t you radical right-wing Republicans, who only seem to care about fighting the terrorists, wake up? It’s a different world today that in 2001.

The terrorists only attacked us because the SCOTUS selected “W” as our unelected president. We can remedy this by electing Barrack Obama as our next president.

You wingnuts don’t get it: He will sit down and talk with the leaders of Iran, N. Korea, and al-Qaeda, and convince them to stop bombing us.

Hurricane Gustav: Dems, Kos, and some in the press are giddy about this wrecking the GOP convention. The media now have an excuse for essentially ignoring the convention (giving us far less exposure than they gave the Dems). Also, if we hold a celebratory convention, then they can clobber us for that too.

My idea: Postpone the convention for a month, inconveniences be damned. This will never happen, sadly.

Is it inappropriate for the GOP to hold its convention during Hurricane Gustav? Dems & 527s are already planning their ads to pounce on the Republicans for cheering and partying, while millions of non-evacuees in Louisiana and Texas suffer.

Joe Biden is ranked as the “poorest” U.S. senator, listing his net worth at negative $300,000. Question: He’s been making six-figures for over 30 years. How did he end up in debt at this point in his life?

Is he unable to manage his finances? Does he not understand saving, investing, etc.? *Might this be more relevant than McCain’s real estate investments? *

I was formerly “McCain08″, and for some insane reason, I was banned. What is your problem, Red State? Do you want to alienate your supporters?? I am an enthusiastic supporter of John McCain and all conservatives/Republicans, and have been for years.
