Unless you're sleeping under a rock somewhere, you are aware that there is a culture war going on in this country. The socialist left has become louder and louder, and more alarmingly, made its way into places of policy and power where they can do, and have done, greater and greater damage to the structural fiber of this country. The situation is critical in part because this country was founded on principles that they are throwing overboard, to our ultimate destruction as a nation and a people (e.g., motherhood). This truth was stated with great clarity by John Adams, one of our founding fathers, who, despite what you public school teacher may have taught you, did most definitely not seek to create a secular society. In a letter to Zabdiel Adams dated June 21, 1776, (ref: Bennett, Our Sacred Honor, pg. 371) he said:
“Statesmen my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand....The only foundation of a free Constitution, is pure Virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People, in a great Measure, than they have it now, They may change their Rulers, and the forms of Government, but they will not obtain a lasting Liberty.”
True freedom is not the power to do as we please, but the power to do as we ought.
