    Quote: "No people will tamely surrender their liberties, nor can
    any be easily subdued when knowledge is diffused and virtue is
    preserved. On the contrary, when people are universally ignorant,
    and debauched in their manners, they will sink under their own
    weight without the aid of foreign Invaders." -- Samuel Adams



    Interesting.

    Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law,
    St. Paul, Minnesota , points out some interesting facts concerning the
    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 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..." 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 illegal's and they vote, then we can say goodbye to the USA in fewer than five years.

    Thought for the day:

    A Soldier pays the ultimate price, their life, for the freedom of someone they will never meet. Shake their hand and tell them how much you appreciate their sacrifice …………Even If It Feels Funny.
