Democracy ending

Jefferson,
--------------------------

Correct and if you study Jefferson, he warned along with others that "TWO HOUSE DIVIDED" would fall.

What is happening now in this country has nothing to do with "DEMOCRACY". It has to do with lack of morality, lack of understanding what a Representative Democracy is and Lack of understanding what Capitalism should be and the lack of understanding and respect to the Constitution of the United States.

Read the fucking constitution you idiots.

Also, "UNITED STATES" as in each state coming together but not forgoing their "STATES RIGHTS". THE STATE SHOULD HAVE MORE POWERS than the FED GOV as to their own affairs.

THE CONSTITUTION "LIMITS" AUTHORITY OF THE "UNITED STATES".

Fucking morons. I hope all of you crazy socialist stay as far away as you can from the REPUBLIC OF TEXAS.

Quote from Stok:

It was from one of our founding fathers (don't remember who off hand). They knew long ago what the threats that can destroy the USA and our freedoms. Not foreign threats or wars or terrorists....it is liberals.

Oh, my God. It's "liberals" that are destroying our freedoms. Run for your lives!

Funny how the dictionary definition<Sup>*</Sup> of "liberal" as someone "favorable to or in accord with the policy of leaving the individual as unrestricted as possible in the opportunities for self-expression or self-fulfillment." Or, "someone favorable to progress or reform..." has now become someone who threatens to "...destroy the USA and our freedoms" , and someone who "...want the guberment [sic] to do everything and take everything from success. Period."

You are one angry person. Might want to see a shrink about that. Or get laid.

Ben Franklin said something to the effect of

"As soon as the people figure out they can vote themselves monies from the public trough, it's over."

I'll badly paraphrase John Adams while I'm at it.

"This Constitution is meant to govern an educated and moral electorate. It's application under any other set of circumstances will doom it to certain failure."

Ahhh...ok, then the American College Dictionary wins then...right?

Liberals, socialists, democrats....whatever term you want, these people figured out over 50 years that the more people you get on the dole of the guberment, the more votes you get! Brilliant!!!!

Liberals want the guberment to do everything and take everything from success. Period. The collapse of the USA will be written about the socialism of the USA by the democratic party and the suffocating of all our freedoms and capital flows that ensues.

Remember...there wouldn't be a democratic party without two things: Unions and guberment handouts (theft for votes). Unions are thugs and so are the democrats...they are the two most power hungry institutions in the world and will lie and steal to achieve that power.

Quote from Tsing Tao:

I was going to say Jefferson, but wasn't sure. And some piker on here would jump me if I was wrong.

This is another one of those quotes bandied about and (falsely) attributed to a number of people. As an aside, how come everyone picks ol' Ben to hang all these on?

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Alexander_Fraser_Tytler

Another section is occasionally added:

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 that they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes 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, these nations always progressed through the following sequence:

From bondage to spiritual faith;
From spiritual faith to great courage;
From courage to liberty;
From liberty to abundance;
From abundance to complacency;
From complacency to apathy;
From apathy to dependence;
From dependence back into bondage.

that is also attributed to many.

You weren`t too far off...

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

Then again, this is the guy who signed the Alien & Sedition Acts into law...
