America’s great unraveling
Leader Call ^ | 9/162025 | Chris McDaniel

Posted on 09/17/2025 9:07:04 PM PDT by Islander7

Old America knew instinctively what our founders had declared: liberty is precious, but it cannot endure untethered. Freedom must be fastened to virtue, or else it curdles into license. John Adams once warned that the Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people, and that it was wholly inadequate for any other. He knew what we seem to have forgotten.

This fracture is not merely political. It is spiritual. And at the heart of it, I suspect, lies our rejection of the faith that once anchored us. Christianity, whatever one thinks of its theology, gave this country a common moral grammar. Even for those who did not darken the church house doors, it offered a language of humility and forgiveness, sacrifice and service, duty and love of neighbor. It taught us that liberty was never about the self alone, but about what we owed to one another.

----snip

I believe we still have a choice. We can choose to return to the old truths. We can return not out of nostalgia, but out of necessity. We can choose to see liberty not as license but as stewardship, not as a trophy to brandish but as a trust to preserve. And we can choose, once more, to root our liberty in the faith and virtue that first made it possible.

When people wondered why the rampant election fraud was allowed to continue, you have only to read Article 4 to understand that the framers could not have envisioned the possibility of cheating in an election.

the rot from which all this sprouts lies in Academia. All the lower school teachers who are spreading wokeness go through college’s and Universities. Ditto journalists, broadcasters, corporate elites, politicians, etc. etc.

Academia is the head of the snake. There can be no reform without flushing out the rot from academia...
