Ask any of my kids what’s the first lesson in life and they’ll answer “Life’s not fair.”

As C. S. Lewis stated, every sin is the perversion of something good. Equality as foundation of law is needed for the exercise of liberty, but applying it as a material measure only awakens that insatiable green-eyed monster called envy.

The French Revolution was based on equality while the American Revolution was based on liberty. From concept through execution, the differences are obvious. France is a generation from collapse, and America is now treading the same dangerous path.

Those who imagine revolution cannot happen here do not understand history, nor the depravity of man.
