The Cycle of Freedom

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship."-Alexander Fraser Tytler, 1747-1813

The average age of the world's greatest civilizations was 200 years.

Each of these once-great nations went through the following cycle:

From bondage to spiritual faith
From spiritual faith to great courage
From great courage to liberty
From liberty to abundance
From abundance to selfishness
From selfishness to complacency
From complacency to apathy
From apathy to dependency
From dependency back to bondage

The United States of America is now in its 232nd year of existence and Barack Hussein Obama will be our next President. Obama could very well succeed in permanently remaking America into his Marxist "utopia" where the majority of our citizens are dependent upon the government. As bad as is the current recession, these are the good old days.

Tytler notes that the final stage in the demise of a democracy is a return to bondage. Obama will appoint activist judges to infringe our first and second amendment rights.

The Democrats will enact legislation to muzzle radio, television and the internet. Look for a return to the "Fairness Doctrine" and imposition of high fees on the airwaves. Look for a push for national firearms registration as a prelude to confiscation of all privately owned guns. Look for stronger "environmental" and eminent domain laws designed to usurp the right to privately owned real estate. Look for nationalization of the financial, health care, pharmaceutical, insurance and energy industries. Look for a huge stealth tax on carbon to address the bogus global warming problem. Look for quick passage of Obama's H.R. 800 which will force all working folks to pay union dues to corrupt union bosses by using the power of open ballot intimidation.

Also look for at least one noisy flag-waving American to be fighting Obama's decadent "Change" every step of the way.
