Until the nation reforges a shared moral vision on that anvil, it will continue to be governed by the corrupt progressive theocratic oligarchy that currently terrorizes its people.


He left out the essential elements of going from where we are to where we were as a people when the founders started this great nation. If we cannot restore respect for the rule of law, honesty, decency, and moral discipline? The nation will fall. This is a huge inflection point in our history, We must stand against the Great Evil that stalks mankind globally, or the USA will collapse and the World will collapse behind us.

Glen Beck is Mormon. I don't know the author of the article, but he is spot on.

When Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens retires, the court will be without a Protestant for the first time since its inception.

Joseph de Maistre met his sell-by date in 1821, when this Republic was rather young. He was "Italian" in Savoy before Italy was finally formed as we think of it today. If his views are as represented by The Blaze editorial are anywhere near correct, he would have been on the side of the British monarchy over the rebellious, soon-to-be Americans.

My ad-repressing browser allows a tease from The Blaze before the popup requires choosing a "plan." Another form of paywall, so thanks for posting the bulk of the editorial.

The Constitution serves well enough, even now. It merely needs to be upheld, as it so often is from time to time. I'll take the US Constitution over any other, as a sampling of other governments' documents would easily show. This is why the American Left continues to fight AGAINST the US Constitution, even now.

I started off saying gurantneeing a republican form of government. States rights means observing the rights of the people within those states.

To the average US citizen, the Constitution conjures up vague notions of rights. But those vague notions go out the window if The Constitution gets in the way of voting themselves something.

“Our Constitution is made for a moral and religious people, and it is wholly inadequate for the governance of any other.”

Regrettably, that is a philosophy as incompatible with today’s reality as it would have been in the days of Noah.

We are being 'governed' under a constitution: the 1936 USSR Constitution.

The J6 political prisoners are basically being held under Article 58.

“Why Americans are no longer governed by the Constitution“

Decades and decades of CORRUPT politicians who have used their power (and OUR money) to reconfigure things so that we citizens serve the State instead of what our Founders intended.

The Italian elite theorists, who DeMaistre may have been a predecessor to, may not tell you what you want to hear, but their analysis of what was to come, and what now is the case, seems spot on.

There was a time when this thread would have been a major thread that could go on for at least days.

John Adams warned of this many years ago: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
