Though not clearly stated within, the Constitution was based on what was, at the time of its being drafted, a universal assumption from a universal biblical world view - that man is sinful, and left to his own - especially when given power and when in government - he would take over in selfish interest.
Thus it was designed to minimize the effect of the sinful nature of men in government, but having 3 branches that would each keep the others in check.
Liberals, progressives, Democrats, socialists and communists all totally reject this fundamental understanding of the nature of man, believing that man is inherently good, and will always be motivated by good.
This Marxist world view so loved by Democrats, has proven to be wrong in all of US history - but not one will ever admit this.
Their view that all men are good, and thus all men in government are good - is destroying our nation.
Ultimately of course, more than a rejection of this truth about the nature of man, they reject God Himself. And all through history, when men reject God - he leaves them to their own ends, and they destroy themselves.
Apart from divine intervention - for which we of course pray - we are far along that path..........
To bad this "Historian of the Future" didnt see this coming before over 50% of the population got good and latched on to the gubm'nt tit.
I try to imagine what a conservative grassroots American of the early to mid 1800s would think of me (us)?
