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 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...' 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.
WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE,
ONLY BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE
McCain's Tricky Calculation
Palin is 'change'—but keeps the 'experience' issue alive.

McCain becomes Palin's poodle
By eagerly playing Palin's poodle, McCain is ceding the leadership position of the GOP to Palin and appearing increasingly weak. Obama has failed to capitalize on this glaring flaw in McCain's desperate strategy to win the presidency, and exploit it to his own advantage. There are many things Obama could do to point this weakness out to the American people, if he wasn't getting such bad advice from those in his camp telling his to remain statesman-like and stay above the fray. That is impossible in the face of Palin mania. If Obama doesn't do something now to change the dynamic, the Palin phenomena will sweep McCain into the White House on November 4th, leaving Obama in the cold. Here are some strategies Obama could employ to turn the tables on the McCain, Palin's newfound poodle.

Senator Obama again tried to control the spread of Clinging to Bibles and Guns Syndrome. Mr Obama said while speaking at the Julius and Ethel Rosenberg Memorial: "Stop clinging to Bibles and guns Americans. Like Nancy Reagan used to say, JUST SAY NO. " Mr. Obama added: "Karl Marx that great political philosopher said that RELIGION IS THE OPIUM OF THE PEOPLE. Why don't you find some other way of soothing yourselves. Consider using the real thing.

Sarah Palin - More Reasons Why Democrats Are Cowering
Sarah Palin ardently supports an all-inclusive energy plan, whereas Obama and Biden refuse to support any inclusion of fossil fuels and nuclear technology.
Sarah Palin has more foreign trade experience than both Obama and Biden. since she has protected the US fishery and oil industries from Canadian and Russian competition.
Sarah Palin has actually opposed Big Oil companies, and returned excess windfall profits to the Alaskan taxpayers, whereas Obama and Biden merely propose that they will do likewise.
Sarah Palin has more direct experience with the US Navy and Coast Guard than Obama and Biden.
Sarah Palin has a son who is in the US military and will soon serve in Iraq, whereas Obama and Biden do not have any family member willing to risk his or her life to serve their country.
Sarah Palin has actually demonstrated her ability to effect meaningful political change, whereas Obama and Biden have merely promised to do so in a non-specific manner.
Sarah Palin demonstrates a determination and ability to reform the way politics is conducted in Washington, whereas Obama and Biden merely suggest that they will bring about some vague undefined form of change.
Sarah Palin believes and has demonstrated that a woman can earn what she is worth, whereas Obama and Biden subscribe to the equal pay and affirmative action legislative approach to salary determination for women.
Sarah Palin supports a moral stand which respects the dignity of all human life, even its most vulnerable, whereas Obama stance on abortion is one of shallow political opportunism.-

Here is my impression of the republicans since the announcement of Palin for V.p. Blah,blah,blah ,blah,blah
They try to keep talking over anyone they are talking to repeating the same old words. I want Palin to speak fpr herself with her OWN WORDS not the republican heads doing it for her. John McCainis no Maverick. He's a forgetful elderly man.Palin is a mother of 5 children. Repeat a mother of 5 children. She has the morals of an alley cat. Let me say one thing about community activists that she so rudely dismissed. Community Activist can get volunteers to provide elderly people with meals on wheels not only that they provide elderly with rides to doctor appointments,and provide education to our seniors on services available to them. They are Key in getting help that is needed for their community. Palin on the other hand seems to be most popular in the bars of Alaska. As a nurse I have more education then her and have seen 1st hand what programs she has lined vetoed as governor does for people,especially those without health care.
Apparently the GOD she talks of is EXCLUSIVE to only the Republicans who make fun of the poor,the jewish population, Latinos and Blacks. See I know I have been to one of the churches that she belongs. These groups are white surpremes at their best. McCain wants to go back to the basics. People better realize what he is talking about. A counrty of white people. That's what this means. His supporters are worried about the blacks, jews and latinos TAKING OVER!!!! My cousin who lives in Alaska told me he supports Alaskas succesion from the u.s. "just like Palin" The whites want their own country.I don't understand what those "other" people will DO TO US. I love my cousin but this is how he was raised.Fearful of anyone different than him. IThe Republican conventionof 99% of white people have for so long instilled this that they have become a cult .ItIS TIME FOR ALL OF THE COLORS OF AMERICA TO COME TOGETHER AS ONE AND DEFEAT THIS CULT!!! ALL IT TAKES IS A VOTE TO SAY NO MORE!!!!. If people are STUPID ENOUGH TO VOTE THESE TWO IN THEN THIS COUNTRY IS DOOMED!!!!!!-

His tactic is just like any Black/White/Asian/Hispanic guy trying to convince someone that they are not prejudice against another race by saying they have friends (daughters;) of another race! Regardless of the fact that Obama is his opponent, McCain is STILL NOT "Presidential Material!" He's poster material for "I went to war...got captured...got rescued...was elected to Senate for that very reason...I'm loaded $...never really did any hard work...never really did anything that "changed" America...I don't think my war medals are enough...so I want to be PRESIDENT."

I disagree with your logic. Palin's so called "lack" of experience is a PR dream because she's just the VP candidate (unlike the media, I don't think McCain is gonna die from old age on Day 1). Her presence in this race underscores, believe it or not, Obama's true inexerience as PRESIDENT. What's good for the goose is good for the gander, as they say. Palin is not the issue -- Obama's inexperience has come shining through each time Palin's record makes up the argument.

Such a dishonest man Alter is. The population of Wasilla or Brooklyn is unimportant unless you are claiming Obama was the mayor of Brooklyn. Alaska is 600 times larger in mass than Bidens Delaware with similar populations. The land mass alone makes Alaska more difficult to run without taking into account the weather. Obama likes to claim his experience comes from running a campaign with 2500 employees and a multi billion dollar budget for the last 12 months. Gov Palin has a budget of 11 Billion and far more than 2500 employees. Obama has never CHANGED a thing as a legislator .
-
Posted By: ethel08 @ 09/05/2008 9:35:49 PM
No, Obama doesn't like to say that his experience comes from running a campaign. He said that to Anderson Cooper. At least bother to read his comments, rather than Republican talking points. Obama talks about his community service, his two terms as a state senator, and a US Senator. But you all just refuse to believe that such experience counts. You'd rather trust a mayor who hires lobbyists and takes hundreds of millions dollars in earmarks. You know the stuff that Guiliani said about how Obama never ran anything? He cribbed that from a primary speech he made about John McCain. You guys will seemingly say anything to win, regardless of the truth. Can you at least talk about the issues?

Obama's latest flip flop:
The troop surge in Iraq has been more successful than anyone could have imagined, Barack Obama conceded Thursday in his first-ever interview on FOX News??? ???The O???Reilly Factor.???
As recently as July, the Democratic presidential candidate declined to rate the surge a success, but said it had helped reduce violence in the country. On Thursday, Obama acknowledged the 2007 increase in U.S. troops has benefited the Iraqi people.-
Posted By: ethel08 @ 09/05/2008 9:26:42 PM
No. Get your facts straight. He won't say that he was wrong to oppose the surge, and he opposed the surge because there was no clear definition of victory. Of course, more troops made violence go down. But it hasn't succeeded in making Iraq more politically stable or get the Iraqi government to take responsibility for their government. They sit on an $80 billion surplus, while we sink into our deepest deficit. Even Bill O'Reilly agreed that the situation was ridiculous.

Posted By: ethel08 @ 09/05/2008 9:21:57 PM
Obama's not running on ending earmarks. McCain-Palin are. And unfortunately, Palin has been closely linked to earmarks throughout her career:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2008-08-31-palin-bridge_N.htm
"We need to come to the defense of Southeast Alaska when proposals are on the table like the bridge, and not allow the spinmeisters to turn this project or any other into something that's so negative," Palin said in August 2006, according to the Ketchikan Daily News.
The Anchorage Daily News quoted her in October 2006 as saying she would continue state funding for the bridge. "The window is now, while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist," she said."
In addition, Obama's made the unusual move of releasing all of his earmark requests to the press. See, that's transparency, rather than sequestering away and refusing to talk to the press.

Sarah Palin is one of the most successful governors in the US. Her foreign policy experience may be a bit weak, but at least the Republicans got it right by placing the person with the most experience on the top of the ticket. That's more than I can say about the Democrats.
The truth is that Barack Obama is the least qualified Presidential candidate to be nominated by a major political party that I have seen in my lifetime. He has absolutely no executive experience and time spent on the campaign trail does NOT count.-

Mark, Justs be honest and say that you are not voting for Obama because he is a black man. I get so tired of people like you and all the Rush Limbaughs of this country coming up with execuse after excuse that is baseless and unfounded. Be honest with yourself and the good posters on this blog and come come and say I don't want to vote for a black man.
It is becoming unbearable to see everything this country stands for being ripped apart because Americans can't get over their racism. Why can't a black man be qualified for the presidency. Bush ran Texas into the ground then the good Americans elected him not once but twice into the White House. He was then and still today is unqualified to be president. Name one thing he has done that is good other than wipe out the middle class, throw the poor deeper into poverty and make the rich a hell of a lot richer.-

I am a democrat who just last week changed my party affiliation to Republican. Obama is a fraud, fake and an imposter. Those of you who can't see through him are totally ignorant or naive. When I look at hime I don't see a black man...I see an elitist snob metrosexual advancing his own self. He is barely elected to one office, than he begins to campaign for the next higher one. What does he want next...King of the world. If the media will truly ask him some real questions...like what was your relationship with murdered choirmaster, Donald Young?...or did you use cocaine in 1999 in a limousine while participating in gay sex with Lary Senclair?...did you send money and a campaign member to Kenya to try to overthrow a legitimately elected government and replace it with a muslim-learning government. and when that didn't work was your cousin Raila Odinga somehow responsible for the many Christians that were slaughtered or burned alive in a church trying to escape the muslim thugs. When Obama allows the press to ask some real questions and get some real answers, I will begin to look at him seriously again. Wake up America, look at these stories...investigate them yourselves...the sins of Sarah Palin are mild compared to the dirty politics and lifestyle of Mr. passive-aggressive B.O.

After Durbin (and others) saw the enormous crowds Obama garnered while going out campaigning for others, and the unprecedented numbers of people who were continually asking Obama to run for president, Durbin had a one-to-one with him and basically said: Sometimes the candidate chooses the time. But sometimes...the time...chooses the candidate. Translate: It was the everyday folk within our country who triggered this whole thing. Blessings.

So which talking point is it? Lack of experience, or not a change agent? It's obvious, you can't have it both ways. I do wish you the best.

Remember that first term senator from Illinois that didn't have all that experience but he knew how to lead? Lincoln was strong enough to keep America together. We have had so called experience, even all that executive experience that President Bush had coming from Texas. Look where that has gotten us. It's been the opposite of Lincoln and no one from the Republican party stood up and stopped it.

In your life time, LOL. If we are going my executive experience, then she has more experience than McCain, he has done either. Obama has equal to or more than experience than Lincoln, JFK and FDR when they took office. Look it up. If being a governor is a measure of success, than what the hell happened to Bush.. Stop repeating some conservative talking head, think for yourself man.
