This is first rate Schlichter. Serious, not the usual humor. But the situation demands it.
He makes good points, but I think John Adams statement about the Constitution being fit only for a moral and religious people is also essential to understanding where we are. At one time it would be fair to say most Americans were generally religious or moral and likely both, especially when compared to today.
If we cannot restore respect for morality and religion, we cannot retain a Constitutional Republic in my view.
