Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us; ~ Hebrews 12:1

Andrew W. Coy, American Thinker: Sir Alexander Tytler was a Scottish advocate, judge, writer, and historian. Lord Tytler lived from 1747 until 1813; about the time of Washington, Adams, and Jefferson in America. Tytler was a professor at the University of Edinburgh. One of Tytler’s most influential and proverbial historical writings was about the lifespan of countries operating under democratic republican governance. Tytler believed the life expectancy of a self-ruled nation was about 200 years.

Yours truly: From the start, America was torn by the clash of its political system with altruist morality. Capitalism and altruism are incompatible; they are philosophical opposites; they cannot co-exist in the same man or in the same society. Today, the conflict has reached its ultimate climax; the choice is clear-cut: either a new morality of rational self-interest, with its consequences of freedom, justice, progress and man’s happiness on earth—or the primordial morality of altruism, with its consequences of slavery, brute force, stagnant terror and sacrificial furnaces.” ~ Ayn Rand

“So long as people believe that socialized medicine [altruism, socialism, open borders] is a noble plan, there is no way to fight it. You cannot stop a noble plan–not if it really is noble. The only way you can defeat it is to unmask it – to show that it is the very opposite of noble. Then at least you have a fighting chance.” ~ Leonard Peikoff [-]

[+] … Andrew W. Coy: Tytler was very dismissive about who holds the real power in a democratic republic or even a pure democracy. He felt these types of government do not last, cannot sustain themselves, and eventually crumble because of human nature. History repeats itself because human nature does not change. Tytler’s most famous historical and yet futuristic prediction was the “Eight Stages of a Democracy.” After studying human nature as well as past history, Tytler predicted the “Eight Stages of a Democracy.”  A brief reading sure makes one nervous about America’s future.

Alexander Tytler: right all along?

[+] … Andrew W. Coy:  The study of Tytler’s analysis can be sobering. A great many Americans, including 80 million Trump voters, are inclined to feel we’re at stage #7 and closing in on #8 fast. Surely you would think that even the Americans who have placed their guy in the White House must see some of the danger signs. The Biden/Harris administration has declared war on religion. The Biden/Harris regime is criminalizing political dissent. There are way too many Americans who live only on government assistance and handouts. Our borders are being overrun by illegal immigrants for whom there are no jobs … Our nation’s capital has been barricaded, bordered up, and beefed up with soldiers who are there to shoot fellow Americans … And half of America does not believe the recent election results. We now in some ways resemble Germany of  the early 1930s. [-]

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. ~ Hebrews 12:2

[+] … Yours truly: In the 60+ years Ellis Island functioned, America processed 12 million legal immigrants. A couple of years ago the DHS illegal immigrant clock showed in excess of 25 million illegals embedded in our so-called sovereign nation. One might well as take a little hammer to chisel and chip it in stone that this is nothing less than a hostile invasion … Biden and his mob claim they are benevolent and seek a pathway to citizenship for their false claim of “only” 11 million criminal illegal aliens. A reminder for all that “Benevolent Ideologies” don’t have depraved minds to kill 61 million+ unborn children in the sanctity of their mothers’ wombs. [-]

[+] … Andrew W. Coy: Progressives might call this the “new normal.” Patriots would call it bondage. The new McCarthyism from the Left has made some patriots prisoners in their own land. Increasingly, patriots are being cancelled out of their own society. Books are burned, authors are silenced, and careers are destroyed. Churches are shuttered in this new normal. This new Supreme Court has no credibility with half of America, which now believes the Supreme Court is comprised of either cowards, the compromised, or crooks. [-]

Alexander Tytler:right all along?

[+] … Yours truly: Logically speaking the only reason for allowing hundreds of thousands of people to cross the Southern border into America can only be malicious. How can these people be of any use to America? Obviously they will debase the culture into evil, Marxist cultural anarchy which is building into a major national security crisis and yet there’s a senile old man in the White House with an empty headed female idiot as his sidekick. [-]

[+] … Andrew W. Coy: The late Milton Friedman famously said that America can either have a society with a welfare safety net for the less fortunate, or a borderless country without laws restricting immigration, but not both. That is exactly what the Biden/Harris administration is trying to do right now … taking direct instructions from China. The French student of democracy Alexis de Tocqueville once said long ago of America that “America is a great country because America is good. But once they cease to be good, they will no longer be great.” When we have to take moral guidance lessons from the French, we’re in trouble. [-]

[+] … Yours truly: We’re no longer governed by the Constitution and law, we are ruled by tyrants and oligarchs. The suicide of the West is exactly what the Left wants, what the demoMarxocrats are all about – the destruction of America, and as fast as possible. Illegal multitudes of unassimilable foreign nationals. Burnham’s ‘Suicide of the West’ is no longer future history, it is happening right before our very eyes.

See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: ~ Hebrews 12: 25
