The constitution was made only for...

...a moral and religious people.. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. John Adams.

Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters. Benjamin Franklin.

I have wondered why so many of the citizens of America are so willing to let the federal government meddle in almost all aspects of their lives. It seems like the citizens of our nation in these last days are willing to give up their freedoms to a massive nanny government. It is because morality and religion are scoffed at by a lot of people, especially those who consider themselves the elites. We are in the last days and men have become lovers of their own selves, without virtue or honor, and their focus is on little else. "And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. Matthew, 24:12.

I would love to see freedom make a comeback, but with the lack of honor of many of the people in power, and a lot of the regular people in this country too, I am not very optimistic, and I am almost always optimistic. I think I am making this post a downer, but I believe that we as americans are on the downhill slide. We are doing the Nephite thing, and the only way the nation can return to greatness is for its people to become moral and virtuous again, especially its leaders. Again like the Nephites.

Ya think that'll happen?
