They also noted that it is for a moral people.
Since we are no longer a moral people, it is now a mere piece of paper and will not protect us from the statists.
a piece of paper won’t protect us from decdades of government schools. No the United States does not exist for the lover of liberty, or the lover of freedom. Tyrants live here in the form of public servants who started going to government schools from the time they were breached. They thrived in these highly controlled, risk adverse incubators of conformity. Everything was predictable. The schedule, the bells, the food. The worksheets were predictable as they followed sequentially, point by point the textbooks. The tests were predictable, as they followed the outlines provided by the worksheets. So they learned in a highly controlled, risk adverse, predictable world to loath individualism and freedom. They grew up, did higher education, more of the same, and got into government, or just became voters. As voters they want a risk adverse, highly predictable environment where outcomes are predetermined and safety is guaranteed. As politicians or as bureaucrats, they want the same thing. So we live in a highly controlled, risk adverse, predictable world. That’s how your neighbors want it, and they will use other people to shoot you, mace you, stun you haul you off to jail in order to preserve their little illusion.
