Yup. No one trusts a traitor.

Wasn’t it established more than seventy years ago that a citizen of the world is a drunkard?

Great find! Very interesting to see this one phrase:
as every Society from a great nation down to a club had the right of declaring the conditions on which new members should be admitted because as we know, that right no longer exists. Many groups have been forced to revise the conditions related to admitting members. Freedom of association is not honored any more!

To the Founders, a citizen of the world was better known as a man without a country.

If I remember the
Edward Everett Hale story, that was a punishment for cursing his country. Now, that sort of behavior seems to be a career enhancement in progressive circles.

For what it's worth:
James Madison ( Who kept meticulous records) as noted in the U.S. Supreme Court Case, 1892, Church of The Holy Trinity Vs. United States, 43 U.S. 465.
My two cents:
The closet thing, to having a tape recording of the proceedings.

-—The lesson we are taught is that we should be governed as much by our reason, and as little by our feelings as possible.-—
Now that is an enlightened statement. The very lack of reason among both liberals and many conservatives is why we have so much trouble.

The right of Freedom of Association was destroyed (in the late 50s/early 60s, I believe), via the Supreme Court, by atheistic commie lawyers.
It is a right all Americans should enjoy.
