    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

    Thanks Mr. Axelrod; I am happy to have someone who can give the Repig's some of their own medicine. I begged John Kerry to retaliate quite a few times with my mail and E-Mail . The Wimpy Lib's have cost us to many Elections by trying to be nice. That is something the Pig's do not understand. I say give it all you have. They are going to do a Blitzkreig of Nastiness the last two weeks, I emplore you to have some ready, I do not want to go on defense , I would like to go on the attack but, you are doing great.

    It is ''soiled''by alot more than that. For The Center for Responsive Politics [www.opensecrets.org] finds that when Obamas earmarks for the University of Chicago hospital where his wife worked consequently garnered Michelle a rather fat raise [105%],the money also rolled into a consulting firm owned by.....David Axelrod. The means by which this high priest of the Expected One,did his duty for the unwashed common clay,was to get them kicked out of the more advanced U/Chicago Medical Center and send them packing to the more inferior Cook County Hospital, and southside clinics, in order to free up beds and space for paying customers. Ignoring these revelations [amply covered by the Chicago Tribune and Sun-Times and the CFRP], comes as absolutely no suprise as this is Dick Wolffe and Mike Isikoff we are talking here.

    Angry convervative posters: Do me, yourself and the GOP Party a favor: Put just half the effort that you put into bashing Obama and the Democrats into praising the real values of the Republican Party and it's ticket if you want to get McCain elected. All of this peurile and acrimonious name calling and outright antagonization is not helping our cause, makes the conservative base look childish, unintelligent, frightened and self serving. It turns off Independent voters and so basically serves the Dem's interests. I'm sure you are venting, but it's NOT helping us.

    Let truth be told. I am a Christian Arab who immigrated to Canada at the age of 9 with my parents and my brothers and sisters. I speak Arabic and am definitely not a terrorist. Those who believe that everyone who comes from the Middle East and speaks Arabic is a terrorist and a non-believer in God is out of touch with the truth.

    In respect to Barack Hussein Obama, I want to clarify the meaning of his name. Many people have little knowledge on name interpretations and meanings; this is not just a fantasy or a fairy tale. This is the truth. All languages, names and wordings are derived from a root word; this is how languages are formed and upon which they are expanded.

    So much is being said in the negative in regards to all elections and candidates, 99% of it is rubbish. It is part of the competitive political process, which has its positives. It allows the people who read and listen to all that is being said the opportunity to see how such candidates can deal and withstand pressure, upon which the public makes its final decision as for whom they wish to vote.

    First of all, let me be clear on the the word "madrassa", which in Arabic, means "school", an "educational facility" or "educational institution", for people of all ages; and, not necessarily a place to learn what terrorists do, as some imply.

    In the Arabic language, the name "Barack" means "blessing". A blessing, as you are aware, is plenty of goodness and is always most appreciated.

    Also in the Arabic language, the name "Hussein" means "horse", which is interpreted as a strong, hard-working and strong-willed individual.

    "Obama" is a traditional African tribal name for which I do not have a meaning; however, the name comes from some derivative of African culture and belief. All names are positive in nature regardless of where they come from.

    So, America is blessed with a strong, hard-working, strong-willed individual as a presidential candidate.

    Barack Hussein Obama is willing, able and desires to serve his country. He is within his rights to do so in this democratic society of ours. His positive views have captured a large percentage of people's attention from all countries and all ages, colour and creed. His rhetoric and organizational skills and voter appeal has far surpassed any election preparation in history to date.

    So what is the problem? The problem is ignorance. If you check the dictionary in the English language, the word "ignorance" means "lack of knowledge". This is why I say that much is construed due to different people's understanding, from various levels of intelligence, levels of knowledge and comprehension of individuals.

    I sincerely hope that Barack Hussein Obama is elected as President of the United States of America. It is time for a change; it is high time not only for Americans but for the whole world to experience what we deserve, w

    Guilt by association, using the republican's litmus test against Ayers I guess McCain pals around with right-wing extremists, racists and anti-Semites according to this article. If the republican want to attack character lets attack character until they decide to stick to the REAL issues.

    AS REPUBLICANS continue to hammer at Barack Obama's association with former urban guerrilla William Ayres, Democrats want more scrutiny of John McCain's relationship with a shadowy group that was involved in the 1980s Iran-Contra scandal.

    That scandal broke after it emerged that Ronald Reagan's White House had funded the right-wing Contra rebels trying to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government by selling arms to Iran.

    McCain has acknowledged that, as a freshman congressman in the early 1980s, he served on the board of the US Council for World Freedom, which helped the Contras.

    The council was founded by retired general John Singlaub as the US branch of the World Anti-Communist League, an ultra-conservative body that billed itself as a supporter of "pro-Democratic resistance movements fighting communist totalitarianism" but was accused of harbouring right-wing extremists, racists and anti-Semites.

    http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/world/2008/1011/1223560396990.html

    I'm happy that McCain is pulling back from the personal attacks but I think his republican mouth pieces should follow suit before we REALLY start to dig into McCain's past, I would love to start squeezing what he loves most his POW status. I would start with why he wasn't interested in rescuing the POW's that were left in Vietnam. He had 5-9 POW's at the convention to collaborate is image as a war hero, there are FAR more that do NOT (like the army sergeant that was carried out of the republican convention).

    The POW card opened doors and allow him to berate families that had concerns about their loved ones LEFT in Vietnam. Why, I feel so the Vietnamese would hold up their end of the bargain and keep McCain's secret.

    1977: Pres. Jimmy Carter signs the Community Reinvestment Act into Law. The law pressured financial institutions to extend home loans to those who would otherwise not qualify. The Premise: Home ownership would improve poor and crime-ridden communities and neighborhoods in terms of crime, investment, jobs, etc.

    Results: Statistics bear out that it did not help.
    How did the government get so deeply involved in the housing market? Answer: Bill Clinton wanted it that way.

    1992: Republican representative Jim Leach (IO) warned of the danger that Fannie and Freddie were changing from being agencies of the public at large to money machines for the principals and the stockholding few.

    1993: Clinton extensively rewrote Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's rules turning the quasi-private mortgage-funding firms into semi-nationalized monopoies dispensing cash and loans to large Democratic voting blocks and handing favors, jobs and contributions to political allies. This potent mix led inevitably to corruption and now the collapse of Freddie and Fannie.

    1994: Despite warnings, Clinton unveiled his National Home-Ownership Strategy which broadened the CRA in ways congress never intended.

      Fact: ACORN has implemented the most sophisticated quality-control system in the voter engagement field but in almost every state we are required to turn in ALL completed applications, even the ones we know to be problematic.

      Fact: ACORN flags in writing incomplete, problem, or suspicious cards when we turn them in,. Unfortunately, some of these same officials then come back weeks or months later and accuse us of deliberately turning in phony cards. In many cases, we can actually prove that these are the same cards we called to their attention.

      Fact: Our canvassers are paid by the hour, not by the card . ACORN has a zero-tolerance policy for deliberately falsifying registrations, and in the cases where our internal quality controls have identified this happening we have fired the workers involved and turned them in to election officials and law-enforcement.

      Fact: No criminal charges related to voter registration have ever been brought against ACORN or partner organizations. Convictions against individual former ACORN workers have been accomplished with our full cooperation, using the evidence obtained through our quality control and verification processes ??? evidence which in most cases WE called to the attention of authorities

      Fact: Most election officials have recognized ACORN???s good work and praised our quality control systems. Even in the cities where election officials have complained about ACORN, the applications in question represent less than 1% of the thousands and thousands of registrations ACORN has collected.

      Fact: Our accusers not only fail to provide any evidence, they fail to suggest a motive: there is virtually no chance anyone would be able to vote fraudulently, so there is no reason to deliberately submit phony registrations. ACORN is committed to ensuring that the greatest possible numbers of people are registered

      ACORN will not be intimidated, we will not be provoked, and in this important moment in history we will not allow anyone to distract us from these vital efforts to empower our constituencies and our communities to speak for themselves.

    Senator Obama has the divine full favor of GOD all around him, he is well protected from anyone. Those of you who oppose and are against need to wake up and smell the coffee. We do not need another 8 years of the McCann/Bush messups. Roland Martin is right, if GOD wants Obama to be the president he will be the president. Contrary to belief, God is still the ruler and in charge of this world. So, I suggest, those of you who are against Senator Obama straighten up and get your act in order. Our arms are too short to box with GOD. Those of you who are racists, I think its time for change for someone of another culture set in the presidents seat regardless of their nationality. We need someone of a different race in the White House. Those opposers step aside before you get stepped on and crushed.

    God raises up rulers and brings them down--so He can accomplish His purpose whichever is President. Obama claims he is Christian. A follower or Christ (one belonging to Christ) would never believe the opposite of Christ on Gays and Lesbians--read Romans 1st chapter. Twenty years as a Christian and he does not know this? Biden a Catholic for many years and he does not know this. Do you read or do you just believe what someone tells you. Words are not always believable. A lot of people have a lot of hot air and seek place--not a place. There is a saying "Windy from the Windy City".

    In this election many people have brought up the contention that one issue should not be pre-eminent above what they consider to

    be equally valid other issues when it comes to making a decision about whom the vote for. I disagree.


    In the election of 1860, the issue which trumped all others, when you get down to it, was SLAVERY. There were other ancillary issues

    but this particular one superseded all others. Had Lincoln lost this evil institution would have continued on for many, many more years.

    In early 1930???s Germany, the issue was the RACISM of Hitler and the Nazi party. If only the German people had seen what was coming?



    The most impressive thing I have heard when it comes to the abortion issue is the testimony that I know of from young women who decided

    to give birth rather than abort because of a priest or minister speaking about about the sanctity of life. Lives can be saved now!



    Representative Chris Smith(a Catholic) from New Jersey has a very grim prognosis of what a President Obama would mean for the Pro-Life movement.
    He said it would mean a complete reversal of all the gains and legislative accomplishments the movement has gained over these many years
    and even referred to it as the ???Waterloo??? of the pro-life movement. We need many prayers and sacrifices.

    Mr. Obama???s Pro-Life (National Right to Life) rating=
    2005 0%,
    2006 0%,
    2007 0%

    His Pro-Abortion (NARAL) rating=
    2005 100%,
    2006 100%,
    2007 100%

Second of all, if you think Obama is going to do so much harm to the "pro-life" movement (other's may call it anti-civil liberties) then how come with President Reagan, Bush Sr. and Bush Jr, have we not gone to a more pro-life state?

The only thing now is that people are just making stuff up and the press says this is false. So I'm sorry if staying with facts means to you that he is getting a pass.

      Do you think you'll be better able to do the job? Does that "free press" you refer to consist in what's recently been circulating that Obama "pals around with terrorists" (wrong -- rather, accepted a fundraiser by a local college professor);"is a Muslim"; (wrong -- rather his father who deserted him after one year was a nonpracticing muslim -- he was raised a Christian); "refuses to salute the flag" (wrong -- it was the Star Spangled Banner being played, not the pledge of allegience); "has attended a madras in childhood" (wrong -- the school he attended for a year was in Kenya, but it was a public school), etc. and now your claim that it's only "affirmative action" that provides for his candidacy (wrong -- the guy's just a great candidate -- Obamamania, after all)? Do you call all of this rubbish that confuses real news with dementia a free pass???? Hardly a free pass, my friend, only so much MORE Obama has to surpass because of so much bigotry that still exists in our land.
