As your post so well points up, Liberalism doesn’t change, except perhaps in the degree to which they are open about their intentions.

And the antidote doesn’t change either.

Thank you! This thread is a great source of reliable information for many citizens who need quotations from the founding period and beyond (see my post citing the 1876 Centennial of the Declaration Sermon by Ohio Legislator and A.M.E. Minister Benjamin Arnett, which every American might benefit from reading) documenting the Founders' recognition of the significance of "virtue among the people" as a "necessary support" for government.

John Quincy Adams enumerated the nation's noble history in his "Jubilee Address" in NYC and concluded with this admonition:

"Fellow-citizens, the ark of your covenant is the Declaration of independence. Your Mount Ebal, is the confederacy of separate state sovereignties, and your Mount Gerizim is the Constitution of the United States. In that scene of tremendous and awful solemnity, narrated in the Holy Scriptures, there is not a curse pronounced against the people, upon Mount Ebal, not a blessing promised them upon Mount Gerizim, which your posterity may not suffer or enjoy, from your and their adherence to, or departure from, the principles of the Declaration of Independence, practically interwoven in the Constitution of the United States. Lay up these principles, then, in your hearts, and in your souls - bind them for signs upon your hands, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes - teach them to your children, speaking of them when sitting in your houses, when walking by the way, when lying down and when rising up - write them upon the doorplates of your houses, and upon your gates - cling to them as to the issues of life - adhere to them as to the cords of your eternal salvation. So may your children's children at the next return of this day of jubilee, after a full century of experience under your national Constitution, celebrate it again in the full enjoyment of all the blessings recognized by you in the commemoration of this day, and of all the blessings promised to the children of Israel upon Mount Gerizim, as the reward of obedience to the law of God." here
