(in Thomas Jefferson’s words:) “An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight.”

...we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. (From a letter Adams wrote on 11 October 1798 to the officers of the First Brigade, Third Division, of the Massachusetts Militia).ion of the Militia of Massachusetts,” October 11, 1798)

Many more, by the grace of God.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.

Marxists know this full-well. This is why they indoctrinated kids in colleges and universities to disbelieve in objective morality (and, for that matter, objective reality).

Marxists understood that the best way to get rid of the U.S. Constitution and government is not to make a military assault but to destroy the morality and religion of its people.

And the Marxists are within inches of declaring "Mission Accomplished."
