Politics in America

Just think about the founding fathers 250 odd years ago, they didn't even have the internet, laptop's, cell phones, GPS, or even spell-check. I wonder how they did all that stuff, you know…….. like creating a country? Do you think maybe they had to think for themselves? Maybe they even used …….heaven forbid…...common sense. That's something that is in very short supply these days. There once was a pamphlet that came out monthly called Common Sense. Now-a-days we have blogs, and face book. Things where people get to say whatever they want to say, without having to say something to someone's face.

I wonder what George Washington's face book would have said about being the first President? I wonder how Paul Revere ever found his way at night on horseback, without a GPS? I wonder if Ben Franklin would have goggled diplomacy in the mid 1700's? I wonder if Thomas Jefferson would have looked up, how to write a Declaration of Independence on the internet  …….before writing The Declaration of Independence? 

I've read a few articles about Democracies, and most people/experts say that a true Democracy can only last for around 200-300 years, before it implodes. That's only if it is run correctly. 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."

It is said that there are a number of different stages to a Democracy.

1st. From bondage to spiritual faith.

2nd. From spiritual faith to great courage.

3rd. From great courage to liberty.

4th. From liberty to abundance.

5th. From abundance to complacency.

6th. From complacency to apathy.

7th. From apathy to dependence.

8th. From dependence back into bondage.

As a country, I think we are split at this point in time with 25% of the people at stage 5, and 50% of the people at stage 6, and 25% of the people at stage 7.

At the rate we are going in this country right now, we will be lucky to hit the high mark of 300 years. No country in the history of this planet has ever had a perfect political system. No country has ever had a military force that was never defeated in battle. No country has ever had a perfect history. We will not be the exception.

A Democracy will start to fall apart when the people in charge of it try to appease all of the people in it at the same time. I think the next 2 elections in this country will be its last defining moment. If this country goes the way of the last election, we will only speed up the end of the United States of America. Once that happens we will be another Europe here. I foresee about 4 maybe 5 small countries here.

Just because people want to start a grass roots movement doesn't mean they are quacks, or extremist. The way the Democrats and the left-wing media have depicted the Tea- Party people have been absolutely horrendous. I think it is a very symbolic group of people who started that. That's what the founding fathers actually did. That's how this country even came to be. We need a lot more people who will stand up and say, enough is enough. We are to going to take back our government, and our country.

If this ever gets published it should become the Republicans political bible. It could also become a cheat sheet for the Democrats, on how
