The Constitution cannot survive in an immoral environment. For example, who will clean up the dead druggies off the street? Is it the responsibility of government (taxpayers)? The people living in the neighborhood? Who will be responsible for this burden?
What about VD's. Who will stop the plague? Who will pay the doctors bills for those infected if they're poor? Who will raise the diseased children, or pay to abort them?
Immorality leads to a nation of sloth, filth, dependency, and chaos. How would be rid ourselves of it?
IF people were to be self accountable in this age, it would work, but that's not how it is. Self accountability has been bread out of America by the public schools, the social programs, and the absent parents. It would take generations to correct it.
So you are making the case that top down federal laws are currently alleviating the ills you mention?
We seemed to get along fine for 150 years before the progressives thought that the government could do a better job than the private charities and temperance societies.
Although I cannot tell you who is responsible, I can tell you who is NOT responsibe....the federal government. Sorry, but the issues you mentioned are state issues ( 80% of the stuff the feds do are actually state issues )In answer to your kind inquiry, who cleaned up the body of the 80 year old woman in georgia gunned down in her home by the swat team? Answer to that question is her family. And yes, it is the responsibilty of the neghborhood to clean up it’s own area...you are both condoning and supporting increased government, both in size and responsibility over your life. You are a closet lib at best, a commie at worst
