All
the candidates in the 2024 presidential race are constitutionally
illiterate sociopaths who would have fought for the Redcoats against the
Minutemen at Lexington and Concord and would have been denied entry to
the constitutional convention. Never in the history of nations has so
much liberty been squandered by so many for less than a mess of pottage.
History
hath but one page. We are reenacting the fall of Athens, about which
Edward Gibbon wrote: “In the end, more than freedom, they wanted
security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all -
security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to
give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they
wished for most was freedom from responsibility then Athens ceased to be
free and was never free again.”
