Carson is right. Obama is just a symptom of a deteriorating society. Unless the culture changes we can look for more ‘bread and circuses’ style presidents who seek to assume more and more power in the executive branch—until we wind up with an actual dictator.
Remember Rome, but do not forget Greece...
“In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all – security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.” –Edward Gibbon
‘Ask not’ speech of JFK, too.
