“We’re governed by circus clowns.”

Are we surprised? The Kardashians are more famous than they ever should have been; we have an abundance of reality tv shows that only serve to bring out the worst in us; our social media (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube) exist to provide even the most inane activity a group of instant followers...

Meanwhile, the world around us crumbles...

Wonder if there were any Romans who saw the decline of their empire going on around them who might have felt like us (conservatives)? Where did those Romans go? What did they do when the world was spinning out of control? It’s sad to see history repeated...

I have a friend who has studied Rome extensively. I asked him about the decline of Rome. He told me, “Rome was great so long as her Legions were great.”
