What shall we do? Will we make the greatest generation proud of us or will we be like the Romans, lost in our decay and greed?

The Fragile, Rotten Egg TopplesWhile the Persian wolf howled at the border on the weak eastern edge, the Roman Empire scraped by, narrow victory after narrow escape after occasional defeat, simultaneously suffering frequent internal turmoil. The Empire still looked good. Large, rich, with all the appurtenances of power, but it was decaying. As Adrian Goldsworthy (author of a recent important work on Cleopatra (http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/cleopatra/a/092510-Antony-And-Cleopatra-By-Adrian-Goldsworthy.htm)) explains in How Rome Fell (http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/fallofrome/gr/050509howromefell.htm) -- but using an athletic analogy, the decayed Empire was so rotten inside that it took barely an ostrich feather to knock it down when Odoacer simply ordered the last emperor in the west to get out. And so Rome fell in A.D. 476.

We are headed ever so swiftly down the same path only its by design and deliberate plan in our case..
Obama's second term proves that the nation has already fallen IMHO.. Very likely if we are to be saved it will take a revolution. Jefferson was right, the Tree of Liberty must have fresh blood to survive.. -Tyr

TYR. We have all seen the RISE of America. As of yesterday. We are all about to witness something that resembles the FALL of ROME.

Anyone who knows, or has read World History. Namely about the Roman Empire. Should not be surprised to see, and compare what is taking place today as HISTORY Repeating Itself.
And those who laugh, or joke about this due to the Liberal, Denial Sickness I call Obomination. Just haven't got the courage to admit how stupid they are.

Most of them do not know how to think. Like animals they react and go on instinct. That instinct told them to vote for the FREE RIDE, the country be damned.
And it will be !-Tyr

Why would they have any need to think on their own, when they depend on Govt. to do their thinking for them?

It would mean LEARNING about History, instead of WHO the winner of AMERICAN IDOL is.
