Lesson from the Roman Empire

When power is more important than the health and prosperity of your nation everything eventually folds on itself.

If we don't vote these power-hungry politicians out of office (Establishment Repubs and especially Liberal Democrats) we are on our way to the same destination as the Romans.

The Senate briefly debated the idea of restoring the old Republic, then folded under pressure from the military and the mob of citizens who preferred handouts from the Emperor over responsibility and freedom for themselves. It was the last time that debate ever happened. Rome would suffer 78 more emperors before succumbing to the crushing burdens of a welfare/warfare tyranny and foreign invasion in 476.

At least we get 78 more God Emperors before we fold.

Can you imagine blaming the guy who was president 78 presidents ago for the downfall of a society? I wouldn’t put it past our media.
