The reason we have democracy is because we don’t have righteous-rule monarchy. We need some kind of checks and balances, which is why our government is established as it is.
When the thirteen colonies were still a part of England, Professor Alexander Tyler wrote about the fall of the Athenian Republic over a thousand years ago. He said:
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury, with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy followed by a dictatorship.
The average age of the world’s great civilizations has been two hundred years. These nations have progressed through the following sequence: from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.”
Please Note: The above three paragraphs were taken directly as written from a book entitled The handwriting on the Wall by Dr. David Jeremiah with C.C. Carlson.
I am concerned that we are on the down side of a very slippery slope that has nothing but troublesome times ahead for our wonderful Nation.
We can retard this slide, by doing all we can to send Congressional Leaders to our Nations Capital to support those who are already truly working as representatives OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE.
