Truth and virtue are the foundations of liberty. Free people are in peril when they forget the basics that made them free. Ignorance and apathy invite the opposite – lies, fraud, and corruption. People sell their votes while greed and envy feed the nanny state. A political cartoon once said, “I’VE BEEN IN OFFICE 20 YEARS. THANK GOD FOR VOTER APATHY.”
The philosophy of Marxist-globalism has perverted education, creating a citizenry demanding that the state provide; Politicians eagerly responding with gifts for votes. Obedience to the state becomes the virtue. The popular thought of the day becomes the truth. The administrative gods of the state dominate while biblical morality is forgotten. The following anonymous quote sums up the dishonor of betrayal:
“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. …Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince….”
The prophetic wisdom of John Adams rings true: “Our Constitution was written to govern a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to govern any other.” Ultimately, education determines the kind of nation we will live in. https://jbs.org/alert/abolish-the-department-of-education/
