"Can America survive this epoch of misrule? Of course not. The most casual student of history knows what happens when a country overstretches its economy in foreign adventures, makes enemies, alienates its allies, and teaches its citizens to value entertainment over achievement, and celebrity over virtue.
A Republic can survive anything but the death of the love of Liberty in the hearts of its people. When that happens, no amount of blood spilled, speeches made, or treasure squandered can bring it back. This week the President told us that he will set aside the rule of law whenever he thinks it fit to do so."
There is a certain quietness is your post that makes one stop, look and think.The message within is truly frightening, but that does not mean it is not right.
Frankly, you would be staggered about the depth of the erosion of civil liberties that is happening here in the UK.
