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!

We were right just as they were 240 years ago.

Admit a Frenchman into your Senate, and he will study to increase the commerce of France ...

Anything you say, Gouverneur ...

Recessional of the Sons of the American Revolution:
“Until we meet again, let us remember our obligations to our
forefathers who gave us our Constitution, the Bill of Rights,
an independent Supreme Court and a nation of free men.”

Dr. Benjamin Franklin, when asked if we had a republic or a monarchy, replied "A Republic, if you can keep it." [we did, despite their best effort]

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.
