Remember,
democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There
never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. ~ John Adams (1814)
Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare,
but only those specifically enumerated. ... Whensoever the General Government
assumes undelegated powers, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and of no force.
~ Thomas Jefferson
The
evils of tyranny are rarely seen but by him who resists it. ~ John Hay
(1872)
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

No force except when it's rammed down our throats. :-/
Linda, I was stationed in Greece for nearly two years, but this pic is from my first visit to the Acropolis. And yes, the slide into corruption is never so bitter as when they insist that you must go along.
And that slide is INCREASING... sigh...
Republics do not tend to last much (practically speaking) beyond 200-250 years. And we are darn close to 250.
It seems to be a freefall at this point.
All too true.
