John Adams, observed, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

James Madison wrote that our Constitution requires “sufficient virtue among men for self-government,” otherwise, “nothing less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another.”

Wisdom indeed!!

Whatever was right and good and just for the common good of all in the government that was intended for the USA has been twisted, distorted, deceived, attacked, and destroyed by what many of us perceive as our present government of the USA as promoting a

Apocalypse 6:10

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying: How long, O Lord (holy and true) dost thou not judge and revenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

Douay-Rheims Bible

[10] "Revenge our blood": They ask not this out of hatred to their enemies, but out of zeal for the glory of God, and a desire that the Lord would accelerate the general judgment, and the complete beatitude of all his elect.

Your magnificent telling the story continues. Between this, and Courageous Lion's The Law, I have learned something, something that may do me some good.

Thank You

You know what else a Constitutional Republic can't survive? Jewish debt usury, all the money printing isn't solely a product of left collectivism, it's also a product of the idea of making money from having money, and fractional reserve banking. Sadly the American Republic was doomed pretty early, you can already see the effects of the hollow spiritually dead numbness of the professional managerial class in Herman Melville's Bartlebe The Scriver, written in the 1830s which in the title of the story is set on "Wall St."
