"If you (countries) do not learn from history, you (countries) are bound to repeat history." We discovered the following and find it to be a sad reality. America is following a historic path and it will lead to her demise. Since when did we decide to "pledge alegiance to the DEMOCRACY for which it stands..." Benjamin Franklin stated: We are a republic... if we can keep it." The founders of America knew the difference between a republic and a Democracy - today Americans do not.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship.
"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two hundred years.
These nations have progressed through this 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 again into bondage."
Penned by Professor Alexander Tytler over 200 years ago while we were still a British Colony.
