Uh not to be a downer but the Roman empire did not rise and fall in 240 years.

Very true, but the Roman Republic fell, the Roman Empire fell, the Ottomans and on and on. The American Empire is headed in a downward trend, following a similar pattern to many others.

You are correct sir. Men wanting to be women, women wanting to be men, racial tension, every where you look little boy is ridding his bike and probably will be chugging ding dongs by age 21. It's a sad state of affairs. Most women have more cocks than a chicken farm. Hollywood actively promotes homos and lesbian relationships as a part of life. When homosexuality is nothing more than a total lack of God in the equation. Like to male dogs humping in the yards. It's animalistic. Violence is romanticized on TV as if it's cool. Thug Rap is churning out hoods at an alarming degree. These young black kids aspire to be those trashy drug pushers and murderers. I actually heard a senator say quote " Today's problems can be blamed on the American Christian Judeo complex." . Can you imagine that. Yeah that's the problem you lying, money grubbing bastard.

In the book of revelation it refers to the nations of Gog and Magog which translates into the North and the South. Which more than likely will be Russia and African coalition forces declaring war on Jerusalem. Now there was no mention of Western forces. I take that as we will be absorbed into one of those nations because of our wicked ways, weakness and total drive for the life of evil and sin. One of the first steps is to disarm our nation so we have no way to fight off the Communism state we are headed for. We are on a downward spiral of total economic break down. Furthermore the so called geniuses running this country are two stupid and wrapped up in their own self serving agenda's

Wake up people the end is nearing for us and we just keep on heading down the path of social suicide.

That is all!

Depends how you look at it. Remember, we had a republic, an empire and West and East empires. You could argue that they were countries im themselves.

The Republic itself lasted 400 years, I could see how an argument could be made for considering different era's of the empire as separate though

Fight and take the country back. What should of happen that day at the you know where.

Lessons in the Decline of Democracy From the Ruined Roman Republic

comparisons to ancient Rome were common. And to this day, Rome, whose 482-year-long Republic, bookended by several hundred years of monarchy and 1,500 years of imperial rule, is still the longest the world has seen.


Aspects of our modern politics reminded University of California San Diego historian Edward Watts of the last century of the Roman Republic, roughly 130 B.C. to 27 B.C. That’s why he took a fresh look at the period in his new book Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell Into Tyranny. Watts chronicles the ways the republic, with a population once devoted to national service and personal honor, was torn to shreds by growing wealth inequality, partisan gridlock, political violence and pandering politicians, and argues that the people of Rome chose to let their democracy die by not protecting their political institutions, eventually turning to the perceived stability of an emperor instead of facing the continued violence of an unstable and degraded republic. Political messaging during the 2018 midterm elections hinged on many of these exact topics.

Though he does not directly compare and contrast Rome with the United States, Watts says that what took place in Rome is a lesson for all modern republics. “Above all else, the Roman Republic teaches the citizens of its modern descendants the incredible dangers that come along with condoning political obstruction and courting political violence,” he writes. “Roman history could not more clearly show that, when citizens look away as their leaders engage in these corrosive behaviors, their republic is in mortal danger.”


Mortal Republic: How Rome Fell into Tyranny
In Mortal Republic, prize-winning historian Edward J. Watts offers a new history of the fall of the Roman Republic that explains why Rome exchanged freedom for autocracy.

Interesting point, and I even have that in a picture last year. BUT, this writing is a bit messed up: What the hell this sheikh has to do or what is his relation with America for him to be so worried? What America has to do with his great-grandson ridings?

Well back to the subject then!!!
