I thought Sparta was defeated by the Persians, not Rome?

How is this opposed to an authoritarian regime?

OK, ours is more totalitarian.

They all end similarly. Military intervention. Either ours, or someone elses.

The evil central socialist government and Obama has joined Muslim terrorists and are demonstrably the enemies of America.

Crooked Comey gave the green light to kill LEO
and Americans - starting in Dallas.

If Crooked Comey is not removed, America dies.
It is that simple. Crooked Comey is now
the barometer.

The author needs to study his history. Sparta was never a republic. They were a part of the Achaean League, a confederation of independent city states but not really a republic.

Our republic died when President For Life Roosevelt took office on March 4, 1933. He implemented a program called "The New Deal" which was inspired by Benito Mussolini's fascist doctrine. By the time of his death in 1945, while the republican forms were preserved, both major political parties and the largest corporations had been co-opted and the US economy had been re-modeled from a capitalist to a fascist paradigm, The state controlled the economy through regulation and preferred corporate entities were shielded from competition and protected from their own ineptitude by government largess.

By 1979 the education system had been fully co-opted and we are now in the stage of fascist development where religion is being abolished. Mussolini never progressed fascism this far.

As opposed to authoritarian regimes in which the moment of their deaths is known exactly by the date and time their despots pass on into hell, what of republics? When do republics die?

When we failed to prosecute New Black Panther voter intimidation in Philadelphia?

When we failed to prosecute gun running to drug cartels in Mexico?

When we failed to prosecute the mistreatment of our sick military veterans?

When we failed to prosecute the loss of top State secrets?

Excellent post.
Biological death comes in stages.
Here, too, for America.

Comeyism: when decent people provide cover for evil.

The get-out-of-jail-free card needs a fresh, slim revamping for the modern era. The name comey is available!

America drank the poison when it ratified the 17th and 19th amendments. Those two slowly but drastically changed the nature of the Republic and guaranteed a totalist end.

Barak Hussein did not “join” the Moslems. He is one, with all that implies. The government entire is run now by Moslems and their string puppets, the sodomites and women who resent being women.

This race war has been building up for the last few years and the hateful, evil, foreign exchange student that now squats on the oval office toilet has been fanning the flames.

This cancerous growth promised to fundamentally change America and he has succeeded. I predict many, many more deaths as a result of negro-Muslim conflict with the rest of us. The negroes are allying themselves with the Muslims as ignorant converts to something they are too damned stupid to understand.

What Obama’s administration (composed largely of negroes, left-wing whack jobs, perverts and other assorted numbskulls) has accomplished will set the negro race back to pre-1960’s status. They may never recover and their numbers will be decimated by their own intermural murders and a few vigilantes.

America’s future is nothing but bleak and extremely dangerous and this is what this perverted president will leave as his legacy.

We can only pray that President Trump will, with the help of some excellent Conservative advisers and appointees, be successful in putting this derailed nation back on track!

The Republic died in 1861.
