The End of an Empire

Comment: How can we expect God to save a people dedicated to godlessness? History shows we cannot!

John Adams said:

[W]e have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. . . . Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.

t is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue.

Samuel Adams said:

[N]either the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt.

Benjamin Franklin said:

[O]nly a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.

George Washington said:

[T]he [federal] government . . . can never be in danger of degenerating into a monarchy, and oligarchy, an aristocracy, or any other despotic or oppressive form so long as there shall remain any virtue in the body of the people.

I'm guessing you're a republican. Sour grapes.

Pahu, would you like to post some facts in the context of today's modern society or would you like to continue this nonsensical and useless drivel?

I may write a similar thread should Labour win the next general election.

Gotta be Repub, mourning an empire then quoting four isolationists. He should've quoted James Polk or William McKinley, but that would require acknowledging the bipartisan spirit of the empire... and the fact that such expansionism was antithetical to the Founders' views.

The fact that Ms Paugh begins with the "Empire" word pretty much sinks the whole missive.

I was reading recently that compared to some beloved and worshiped Republicans in the past such as Reagan, Obama is more Republican than they ever were. Its just that times have changed so much and we've become so bipartisan (and the far right has become completely and utterly unhinged), that we don't recognize the differences from just 30 years ago.

Citizen Pahu ... Last time I looked the good old US of A looked pretty much alive and kickin'! I take it from your posts that you one of those earthlings who figures god is running the world?

While she laments the death of a constitutional republic she obviously believes in a one party state just so, long as it's a religious dictatorship.
