Email of the Week: Last Election Tells the Tale of America's Difficulties

Posted by Douglas V. Gibbs

The following came to me via email, and though there are a few questions to its validity (for example, in the "States Won" part the total equals 48 States, rather than 50), the underlying message is pretty much correct.  In other words, the exact details of the statistics are probably not accurate, but the message that the big cities where the murder rate is higher, and the citizens are on the dole, is from where Obama received his votes, is accurate.

The below email, as it floats around, is normally titled America's Obituary.

Professor Joseph Olson of Hamline University School of Law in 

St. Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning
The last Presidential election:

Number of States won by: Obama: 19 Romney: 29
Square miles of land won by: Obama: 580,000 Romney: 2,427,000
Population of counties won by: Obama: 127 million Romney: 143 million.

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:

Obama: 13.2 Romney: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory
Romney won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of the country.

Obama territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in low
Income tenements and living off various forms of government
Welfare..."

Olson believes the United Statesis 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.
