Is this (below) it? I Googled and found something very close to what you described. As you mentioned, it is Book V, Ch. XI:

"All these things also which are done in an extreme democracy should be done in a tyranny, as permitting great licentiousness to the women in the house, that they may reveal their husbands' secrets; and showing great indulgence to slaves also for the same reason; for slaves and women conspire not against tyrants: but when they are treated with kindness, both of them are abettors of tyrants, and extreme democracies also; and the people too in such a state desire to be despotic."

I found it at http://www.literaturepage.com/read/treatiseongovernment-155.html

That's the chapter and more than likely the accurate version of what I thought Aristotle said, though translations differ.

God, our Constitution and Christianity are all under simultaneous attack by those that seek absolute power.

Christians because they are the largest organized group who believe that they answer to a higher authority than the Government.

The Constitution because it says there is a higher authority than the Government of men.

Then God who is that Authority.

When these three are sufficiently undermined and subdued, then the Government of men can become the supreme entity.

It is working.
