It always befuddles me. People who have risen to the top, and gained much personally in so many ways, want to diminish or destroy the near-genius system of government which enabled them to do so well. Is there no wisdom in the streets? Well, on reflection, yes. There’s a lot of wisdom in the streets. Where it seems to have disappeared is in the hallowed halls of Washington. We have people ensconced who seem to have no regard for history and no understanding of human nature.

I guess the uniqueness of these United States of America is wearing too ho-hum with some people. This “noble experiment” is unique in all history. Our Constitution is unique in all history. Nothing like it before, a few attempts at imitation since. It was written in the milieu of 3 concerted days of prayer to our Creator God by our Founders.

We are living now on borrowed capital as we increasingly repudiate our foundations.
