George Washington once asked, "Can it be that Providence has not connected the permanent felicity of a nation with its virtue?"
John Adams observed that "Liberty can no more exist without virtue and independence than the body can live and move without a soul."
Benjamin Franklin noted that only "a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters."
And Frederick Douglass presciently warned that "The life of the nation is secure only while the nation is honest, truthful and virtuous."
How brilliant these men were! And how unmoored have we become from the precepts of morality and virtue that underpin our precious society? Are we willing to simply let this nation slip from liberty into the dark pool of despotism which has ruled man from time immemorial?

This is no accident, but a manipulation by the leftists infesting our government, with aid by an leftist-infested educational system and media.
Senator Joseph McCarthy was 100% right about the red scare.
