Our Founders very clearly said that this Republican form of government would only work with a moral, independent, hard-working Christian population. Citizens were mostly expected to police themselves. Now that we no longer do police ourselves (we have our beloved new hyper-government to tell us what size of soda to drink and which HealthCare plan to buy, and to protect us from most of the consequences of most of our immoral choices)...
and we have allowed Christianity to be browbeaten, shamed, ostracized, and maligned by the Left and the MSM...
and we have allowed significant percentages of the population to live moderate lifestyles parasitically off of the backs of those who do still work...
and we have disdained the notion of independence, up to the point that modern commentators openly suggest that we must stop considering our children to belong to us, and that they should belong to the government.
The nation that was created 230+ years ago no longer exists. We changed the Constitution, we changed our behaviors, we changed our focus, and we changed our goals. That Constitution was meant for a different population than the one that lives here today.
Very well said, Teacher.

Granted. Now... how do we change them BACK to what they should be?
Or should we just give up and withdraw into “personal Christianity”?
