“Caligula’s Insane Rome”
If you want a sickening awakening, look at every excess of Rome in it’s late depraved stages. Then look at us today,, we have an equal or equivalent in nearly every category. It truly is terrifying to see America go down the path Rome took. Which is why children are NEVER allowed to study history anymore.
I agree, it is a sad time when we don’t learn from past mistakes. Rome’s fall was largely driven by the excesses and moral degeneration that developed it, before it had its resurgence post-Christianity. Which is why, I have the following points
“Social Conservatism” should be non-negotiable because it is obvious and are defined by God and not subject to the same flaws that we humans (and our laws) have. The Tea Party Must not compromise on this or get taken over by the posers.
Fiscal conservatism is something we all have a general idea of, you know, smaller govt. limited regulation, free market but the precise form of it is harder to decide because these are based on Human ideas and therefore subject to corrections and improvements. For example, regulation vs rule of law is trickier ground and not obvious. Similarly for things like the gold standard and currency speculation, derivatives etc. etc. We can actually have disagreements on these issues even if we are all fiscally conservative.
We can have No disagreements on moral issues though because its God’s word.
