Time to Channel Cousin Frank

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.

"Not all Democrats agree with Mr. Frank that such policies are off-limits to criticism. Last week Rep. Artur Davis of Alabama said in a statement: 'Like a lot of my Democratic colleagues I was too slow to appreciate the recklessness of Fannie and Freddie. I defended their efforts to encourage affordable homeownership, when in retrospect, I should have heeded the concerns raised by their regulator in 2004. Frankly, I wish my Democratic colleagues would admit when it comes to Fannie and Freddie, we were wrong.'

"Mr. Davis is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus."

'Rank snobbery'

Camille Paglia, who supports Sen. Barack Obama, has nothing but scorn for the way the media has treated Sarah Palin.

"The mountain of rubbish poured out about Palin over the past month would rival Everest. What a disgrace for our jabbering army of liberal journalists and commentators, too many of whom behaved like snippy jackasses," Miss Paglia writes at www.salon.com.

"The bourgeois conventionalism and rank snobbery of these alleged humanitarians stank up the place. As for Palin's brutally edited interviews with Charlie Gibson and that viper, Katie Couric, don't we all know that the best bits ended up on the cutting-room floor? Something has gone seriously wrong with Democratic ideology, which seems to have become a candied set of holier-than-thou bromides attached like tutti-frutti to a quivering green Jell-O mold of adolescent sentimentality."

Beauty and the Beast unleashed their inner pit bulls and are attacking Obama with their same old tricks- character assassination, lies and distortion. But Joe Six Pack isn't fooled.

This is a quote from foxnews.com:

"The analysis also concluded that in the latest period, nearly 100 percent of the McCain's ads were negative, compared to 34 percent of Obama's ads."

McCain has nothing good to say about himself. How pathetic.

I used to get angry at the obvious bias that you and most of your colleagues at Obamaweek expose on a regular basis. But, I no longer get angry; when your publication arrives in the mail (I will finish out our subscription and then not renew.) I just laugh. You have become so predictable, that I seldom read you. But, every once in awhile when I want to reassure myself that things haven't changed much, I open your magazine only to find much of what I see in the National Inquirer at the grocery store checkout, and laugh, reassured that
you will continue to provide me and any others who are looking for true journalism with a comic book!

The Antichrist!:
When George Soros failed to obtain the election of his candidate, John Kerry, in 2004, he brooded for a while, even said he might get out of politics altogether, but he just couldn???t stop himself. He has stated publicly that he wishes to burst the ???bubble of American supremacy,??? because he says our preeminence in the world is a detriment to global ???equilibrium.??? So far, he has failed, but he keeps on trying.

And Mr. Soros has made no secret either of the fact that he sees the shortest way to effect political shake-ups, what he terms ???regime changes,??? is through very difficult economic conditions.

America has not yet felt the full force of Soros style economic shock treatment. But others have.

Soros made his first billion in 1992 by shorting the British pound with leveraged billions in financial bets, and became known as the man who broke the Bank of England. He broke it on the backs of hard-working British citizens who immediately saw their homes severely devalued and their life savings cut drastically in comparative worth almost overnight.

When the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 threatened to spread globally, George Soros was right in the thick of it. Soros was accused by the Malaysian Prime Minister of causing the collapse with his monetary machinations, and he was branded in Thailand as an ???economic war criminal??? who ???sucks the blood from the people.??? Right in the middle of this crisis, Soros dashed off his book, The Crisis of Global Capitalism, which demanded a ???third way??? toward economic stability.

Wake up, America, before it is too late!!!!

Nowforthetruth, you are forgetting McCain's ties to lobbies and that, as recently as last month, his campaign manager Rick Davis was receiving money from Freddie Mac. And McCain has surrounded him self with people from lobbies. To say nothing of his involvement in the Keating scandal. To say nothing of the fact that he has be staunchly anti-regulation. To say nothing of his ties to the gambling industry, and so on.....

The link below contains a purported list of the top 25 in Congress who got contributions from the folks at Fannie and Freddie. Obama is listed third, after Dodd and Kerry, even though Obama is just a junior Senator. Obama is followed next by Clinton. Barney Frank and Nancy Pelosi are on the list as well.

It's fitting for a man who has always been his own action figure.

Kudos to Jonathan Alder
Whether it's Teddy Roosevelt or Ronald Reagan, or his desire to avenge the defeat of Vietnam, somehow I get the feeling that McCain is a male version of Miss Emily. If you remember William Faulkner???s short story A Rose for Emily, one of the most scathing attacks on southern traditional values ever penned by any one, Emily Greerson was a southern belle who spent her adult life sleeping with corpse of her Yankee lover. Metaphorically, like Miss Emily McCain is sleeping with the dead.
The late great Soviet Union also had a love affair with a corpse. Until the dying day of the Evil Empire, people flocked to Moscow and lined up for blocks to get a glimpse of Lenin in his glass coffin. With McCain I get the same impression. We know what happened to the USSR, we will suffer the same fate with someone like McCain.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt was no plaster saint. He was slow to enforce civil rights legislation and he permitted the incarceration of Japanese-Americans. But as my father pointed out, rich though he was, he never forgot what the ???forgotten??? man was going through. Unlike many of is more ideological liberals in his own cabinet, Roosevelt was a pragmatist - what works is right. He left us with a set of regulations that enabled our economy to prosper. We face a crises of monumental proportions primarily because Reagan and McCain???s chief economic advisor, Phil Gramm, eliminated the regulations that could have prevented the current meltdown.
If we want to save this country, we need to get rid of the entire GOP, who, like the Soviets they so loved to hat are so fixated with a corpse AKA Ronald Reagan, that they cannot see reality. We need another pragmatic problem solver, like FDR - AKA Barack Obama.

Excellent article. The impulsive and erradic behavior of Sen.McCain is starting to wear thin, especially as the economy continues to slide. The contrast to Sen. Obama's thoughtful, disciplined comments and behavior is very striking. This article gives insight into how those differences came about and developed. It would be interesting to see a similar piece on Biden and Palin.
