年前雅典共和国的衰落进行了总结:
“一个民主政体在本质上永远是临时的;它根本不能作为永久的政府形式存在。民主会
一直存在,直到选民发现他们可以用投票的方式从公共财政中送给自己慷慨的礼物。从
那一刻起,大多数人总是投票给那些承诺从公共财政中给自己最大利益的候选人。结果
是每一个民主政体都将最终因为宽松的财政政策而崩溃,并将被(总是紧随其后的)专
制政体所取代”。
“历史上,世界上最伟大的文明的平均年龄,大约200年。在这200年期间,这些国家总
是按照以下顺序进行:
从束缚到精神信仰; 从精神信仰到伟大的勇气;从勇气到自由; 从自由到丰富;从丰富到
自满; 从自满到冷漠; 从冷漠到依赖;从依赖回到束缚”。
明尼苏达州圣保罗Hamline大学法学院的约瑟夫·奥尔森教授指出了一些有关上届总统
选举的有趣事实:

获胜州数:奥巴马:19;罗姆尼:29
赢得土地面积(平方英里):奥巴马:580,000;罗姆尼:2,427,000
获胜各郡总人口(亿):奥巴马:1.27;罗姆尼:1.43
获胜各郡的平均谋杀率(每10万居民):奥巴马:13.2;罗姆尼:2.1
奥尔森教授补充说:“总的来说,罗姆尼赢得的地区大多是美国纳税公民所拥有的地区。
奥巴马领土主要包括那些居住在低收入区域并依靠各种形式的政府福利的公民.。。“
奥尔森认为,美国现在正处于泰勒教授对民主定义的“自满和冷漠”阶段之间,全国大
约40%的人口已经达到了“依赖政府”阶段。如果国会大赦那两千万非法移民, 给予
他们公民身份并允许他们投票,那么我们就可以在不到五年的时间内, 对美利坚合众
国说再见了。
Interesting Statistics
Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law,
St. Paul, Minnesota, points out facts of 2008 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 by Republicans was
mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.
Democrat territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in
government-owned tenements and living off various forms of
government welfare."
Professor 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 illegals and they vote, then we can say goodbye to
the USA in fewer than five years
Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake,
knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom. |
