“We have staked the whole of all our political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government… to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” - James Madison
I am an educator, a field that is riddled with leftist ideology and much of the rhetoric that you mentioned that mostly comes from the left. I am also a soldier, who like you took the oath to the constitution and served under a number of Presidents and members of Congress. I love this country, I love what it can be, I love what it was. I love the hope and faith that is enshrined in our constitution and what our founding fathers believed this country could be. Like you I weep at what has happened, rage against the never ending wars, fiscal irresponsibility, and lack of common sense and complete selfishness that has permeated our political and civil institutions. I have tried, in my limited scope and influence, tried to implant into the minds of my charges that these men were not evil, and nor is our country. They were heroes. They masters of their craft, brilliant and brave. Fallen? Absolutely. Imperfect? Aren't we all. What I've read here is hands down one of the most succicinct and clear explinations of what we have all dreamed and believed as Christians. I really appreciate your wisdom and words brother. God bless you and your family, God Bless America, and Happy Independence Day.
