A robust curriculum in history, philosophy, language (to be able to read original documents in both Greek and Latin, and French to converse) and other subjects related to human governance were absolutely de rigueur among their class.
If you think what is occurring today is in any way unique or was unknown to them, I have a bridge to sell you. They didn't need to anticipate technology altering the function of a free & independent press. Any student of history would well know that for 1,000s of years, oppressive regimes conducted extensive spy operations and information flow control regardless of technology.
Our founding documents were established to manage MEN. Human nature never changes, only the ability & manner by which its impulses are exercised. For some reason, a contingent of posters @ FR seem to be lost in the miasma that what is occurring today is somehow unique, terrible or unprecedented.
It is not - every generation has to face the same demons, whether they be external or internal. What is actually required is that we do something about it ie freedom isn't free. Patriots spoke with Trump's election, and the second major battle is to be joined in November. At some point, the tide will turn, and liberty will emerge victorious.
3 MORE explanations for leftist apoplexy over Trump
I think we're well into thousands of reasons why the left hates Trump.
The reason for the apoplexy is simple. The left lied for decades about who they were in order to get into power. once in power they enjoyed with relief being able to tell the truth about who they are.
Now that everyone knows who they are—they are being rejected.
Liberal apoplexy is about realizing they’ll have to start lying about who they are again to get back into power.
That’s just awful for them—as it would be for anyone.
Trump is a monkey wrench in the end game of the globalist oligarchy, which, by the way, controls leftism as well - globalism is globalism whether left or right. Kissinger, Golman Sachs & Co. had their crank stepped on by Trump.
You get a “monkey” violation card.
Here’s are many, many and more many reasons (BTW I’m not a Q follower buy why Does Trump call this the MAGAPILL?-) http://www.magapill.com/
