A recent email that I received offered the opinions of an 1887 Scottish history professor who advanced the theory that a democracy is always temporary because voters discover within 200 years that they can vote for candidates who promise to support 'giveaway programs.' Eventually, this will bankrupt the treasury and a dictatorship will follow. (I can't fool you readers; you likely already know the origin of the email).
The email then took, as I expected, liberties. I quote from the email: "From bondage to spiritual faith...from spiritual Faith to courage...from courage to liberty...from liberty to abundance...from abundance to complacency...from complacency to apathy...from apathy to dependence...from dependence to bondage." The email used another University Professor's 'numbers to underscore that welfare people and murderers voted for Obama while decent tax-paying citizens voted for Romney. Finally, did you know that should Congress grant amnesty and citizenship to twenty million illegals--and those folks 'vote' --we can bend-over and kiss our country's ass goodbye; so said my email!!! My history recollections is of a nation that was not a true democracy when women and Black people could not vote; those days when the majority of 'white' male voters believed that women should be pregnant (in the kitchen) and Blacks should be bent over in 'cotton-fields.' What a democracy, then!! My good Americans, 'democracy' means equality, freedoms and popular suffrage.
The email implies that the current political events in America are causing a democracy-free fall. The subliminal message is that our country is 'falling-from-greater times.' If we return to the good old days, what time-period shall we re-visit? The early frontier days offered good land acquisition opportunities...recall when we screwed the Native America 'taking' their land. We felt that they were savages and we were God's chosen white-guys. Perhaps we could return to that wonderful plantation era when we had good cheap labor. That Lincoln guy had to interfere. Today's brown-face 'field-hands' keep sneaking in from Mexico; next thing you know, they will get citizenship, the vote and this democracy will fall another couple-of-rungs according to the email 'message.'
Shall we go back to a time in history when taxes were low and workers had no unions; if we still had those circumstances, our great American-loving corporations would not have to outsource jobs to realize a profit. Never mind that the tax monies collected built Inter-state highways, research medical centers and stadiums where we can have our Sunday NFL beer-guzzling tailgate parties, which is almost as much fun as putting sheets over our heads and burning peoples' houses.
The email said that if I favor 'this,' I am to pass the email along to others. My dilemma is I am not sure if it meant favoring amnesty for illegals or democracy falling into a dictatorship. I just love those freaking emails that give parameters to my convictions, feelings and love?
Folks, don't panic and flush this great Nation down the toilet just yet. Things will get better. Do you not understand...the sky is always falling and the world is coming to an end any time America has a Democrat in the oval office.
Ah crap, the moment has arrived, I must choose between 'send' or 'delete.'
