What? All that energy and hatred mongering John McCain spewed this week, and nobody endorsed him?? G-O-O-D!!!!!! I salute the newspapers for not endorsing such a pathetic and racist politician like John McCain. On the other hand, thank-you to the Clintons for your support of Barack Obama and helping Senator Biden with his campaign in Pennysylvania today. Absolutely fantastic speeches from both of you! Thanks for rallying his supporters!

they must be small papers that make less than $250,000.00 a year, any paper willing to support Obama is putting there own worth online. Just paying the extra tax is going to close alot of bussinesses, ads price are going down, taxes going up time to close.

HOW LONG DOES THE USA HAVE?

This is the most interesting thing I've read in a long time. The sad thing about it, you can see i t coming.

I have always heard about this democracy countdown. It is interesting to see it in print.. God help us, not that we deserve it.

How Long Do We Have?

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.'

'The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years'.'During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1. From bondage to spiritual faith;

2. From spiritual faith to great courage;

3. From courage to liberty;

4. From liberty to abundance;

5. From abundance to complacency;

6. From complacency to apathy;

7. From apathy to dependence;

8. From dependence back into bondage'

Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:

Number of States won by:
Gore: 19
Bush: 29

Square miles of land won by:
Gore: 580,000
Bush: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by:
Gore: 127 million
Bush: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore: 13.2
Bush: 2.1

Professor Olson adds:'In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country.
Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government welfare...' Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the 'complacency and apathy' phase ofProfessor 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 ------ invaders called illegal and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

If you are in favor of this, then delete this message; if you are not, then Pass this along to help everyone realize just how much is at stake, knowing that apathy is the greatest danger to our freedom.

OSAMO WILL END AMERICA!!! WE WILL BECOME A FACIST SOCIETY!!!

Couldn't have been better stated, MY FRIEND. I did take the liberty of editing your excessively long, boring and outrageously false post, in case you hadn't noticed.

Try reading some history because it will serve you better many times over than watching talking heads on TV repeating the same themes over & over & over & over.

According to the Book of Revelations; The anti-christ wlll be a man in his 40s of MUSLIM desent who will deceive the nations with persuasive language and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal... the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace and when he is in power, will destroy everything and lead us into the GATES OF HELL......

Who cares. Big deal. Endorsments are stupid.

The man that drives the garbage truck in my area said he endorsed Hillary. But is now behind McCain.

Big Deal. So what. Who cares.

Yes. The fact is Obama hangs out with a murderer (Willima Ayers )who also tried to kill children.

Aside from that, I think Obama's church is a House of Satan.
