By A.D. 200, the Roman Republic was a distant memory. Few citizens of the global Roman Empire even knew of their illustrious ancestors like Scipio or Cicero. Millions no longer spoke Latin. Italian emperors were a rarity. There were no national elections.

Hold it together..for what? For the kids?
Forget it! It’s over! And freedom loving Americans let it get away.

Well, for one thing, I don’t believe in the legitimacy of our elections anymore. I think there was widespread fraud that will only get worse. This is now one party rule and elections are held to give the appearance of legitimacy
I prefer a line from the old western,we are just playing out the string.
Won’t be long now
It will divide into free states and those that GOD will destroy.

Yeah,I can’t wait for Hillary too.
Who else can’t wait for the 100 republican candidates who will split the vote so our candidate will be another Bush.
One election will not overturn a century of communist and GOD-less litigation and legislation. We will divide and there will be free states and those that are oppressed and will eventually be destroyed.

I know how to get people angry,tell them no more American Idol,Dancing with the stars,or Better yet,tell them their cell phone fee is going up a dollar.That should do it
Uh, the Roman Empire is conventionally understood as starting with Julius Caesar in the “post-Republican” era.
By 200 AD, it was not the same civilization, as Victor Davis Hanson correctly points out. By 300 AD, it was clearly in decline.
To AlexW: Your referring to Republicans as Repugs looks to me like that you are a troll
Exactly. This is why I moved from my home of 45 years to a small farm in central KY in 2011. I bought it two weeks before Obama won the 2008 election.
I did it in the spirit of Revelation 18:4 and in light of yesterday’s SCOTUS decisions it continues to clearly be the right move.
As more and more events unfold I become more convinced the US as we knew it will not survive the Obama presidency. And to be really clear, the problem is not Obama. It is the electorate. Look at the Republican clowns in power, for crying out loud.
Wait until we get the full force of Obamacare.
Id like to think that every conservative understands that they need to get out and vote as if their life depends on it, but Im not convinced enough conservatives believe that yet.
"The United States shall guarantee to every state in the union a republican form of government,
AND SHALL PROTECT EACH OF THEM AGAINST INVASION."
Thinking people really scratch their heads wondering how did we get this way and what can we do.
I am a Christian. I can find nothing in the bible that promotes patriotism. Where would the early church have been if they had put their faith in Rome?
I cringe every time I see an American flag in a church. We are very close to the end days. I’m focusing on things spiritual and my families survival in the days to soon come. I will leave the fight against the liberal nincompoops to those who are more focused on the US than on eternity.
Countries come and go. I’ll lead by example, regardless of what country I find myself in.

Today’s crop of Republicans are not those that I grew up with.
They have become Marxist lite. It is no longer the party that I knew for most of my 67 years. I never left the party. It left me.
Me a troll? hahaha. I have been on here longer then you have, but I think you know that.
I love my life and my wife and my kids and my existence more than I love freedom and liberty and it shames me to say it.
I’ve gone Galt as much as I possibly can so far.
There is no us. We are nothing but splintered groups who share little in common other than geography.
