My FRiend Sulla:
When the dogs of war are released, victory for the Constitutional faction in a civil war is not immediately inevitable; the outcome may be an American version of Oliver Cromell’s “Commonwealth” complete with a military dictator.
However, after all is said and done, restoration of the Republic under the U.S. Constitution of 1789 is as inevitable as the restoration of the Monarchy in England after the death of Cromwell. The Monarchy is in the English People’s DNA. The Republic is in the DNA of the American People.
Very well put. It's very encouraging to read a post like yours.
‘restoration of the Republic under the U.S. Constitution of 1789 is as inevitable as the restoration of the Monarchy in England after the death of Cromwell’
That is what my namesake thought in Rome, and for a little while, by means of an ocean of blood, he succeeded. Fifty years later, after nearly continuous Civil Wars, the exhausted Romans turned to Caesar Augustus.
Would be repeating the same mistake all over again. I'd fight to ditch this constitution. Why would I fight to "restore" it? The consolidation of power created by the Constitution is the SOURCE of our problems.
