Love makes the defining difference, for it covers a multitude of sins.

Morality far transcends intellect.

It is the virtually intractable pride of Fallen Man that is the true tragedy of human existence, for pride conceals a multitude of sins.

A notable traitor in a lamentably lengthy line of traitors, culminating in the odious pretender-usurper, B. Hussein Obama.

Currently, a somewhat less overtly sanguinary inverted monarchy of the kakistocratic Russo-Teutonic sort.

A poignant counterpoint to the Theory of Evolution.

An American Colossus among other colossi.

As it is written:

" There is no fear in Love; perfect Love casteth out fear..."
~ 1 John 4:18

Indeed, Love does cover a multitude of sins.

As William Penn expressed it:

" They have a right to censure, that have a heart to help: the rest is cruelty, not justice."

As it is written:

" Love is patient, love is kind..."

~ 1 Cor. 13

Discernment makes the defining difference.

As it is written:

"Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgement."

To those who are not receptive to the Truth, its communication is always a matter of controversy.

Evidently, President Cleveland well understood that charity is Charity only when it is voluntary, and ministerial in character.

Grace and Mercy make the defining difference.

Civilization, in its entirety, is predicated upon the vestigial presence of Grace in infralapsarian Man.
Without Grace, which is the very substance of true Humanity, there can be no empathy, no Mercy, no Humanity, no civilization.

The ordinarily astute Ms. Arendt's definition of Love was in definite need of refinement.

Any who are simply effects of the cause of their oppressors are virtually certain, having acceded to power, to become oppressors themselves.

It is Virtue that makes the defining difference.

True freedom fighters are animated not by an animus born desire to wreak vengeance but by principle founded virtuous conviction.
A contention the validity of which is revealed in the fundamental differences that existed between the animating spirit of tha American Revolution and those of the French and Bolshevik Revolutions.

The perfection of human dignity is revealed in those who are so Virtuous as to not be susceptible to being comprehensively conformed to the form of a loveless, fallen, world.

As it is written:

" And be ye not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptible, and perfect, will of God."

~ Romans 12:2

Is it the right of those who would deprive us of Life and Liberty to do so?

What shall we be required to sacrifice to the end of our protecting their "rights"?
Clearly, concerning the matter, reason must prevail, a right balance must be struck.
Objectively, it is only in the enlightening presence of Virtue that reason can prevail, that a right balance can be struck.
Lamentably, these ideals are, almost certainly, unattainable ones in this day of the free fall involution of Virtue and of values.

As Justice Robert Jackson expressed it:

" The Bill of Rights is not a suicide pact."

As Heraclitis expressed it:

"Character is destiny."

Upon whom, necessarily, can anyone reasonably rely to rightly educate him or her? His or her parents?
Is every parent a repository of Virtue, thus equipped to educate by example, example being the most sublime of all instructors?The State? States are, characteristically, reflections not of the Virtue of human beings but of their manifold frailties, among which, a disposition to becoming dependent upon government. Ultimately, it is incumbent upon each individual to invest himself or herself in his or her own education, relying upon Providence for inspiration and illumination.

As the Puritan Divine, Thomas Manton, expressed it:

"A family is the seminary of Church and State."

Everything, without question, has its genesis at home.

The man who has Love to endure will gain the Prize.

The sine qua non of minimalist government is the Virtue of the People.

The restoration of our once glorious Republic would proceed, ineluctably, from the restoration of the rooted in Virtue and Morality Reason of the People.

When and where Love is waning, complexity is waxing.

A societal ideality, realizable only under the aegis of Sovereign Virtue.

Lamentably, in this day of the ineffable impoverishment of spirituality, morality and ethics, a chimera.

A truly civilized civilization is peopled by Sovereign Individuals who, under the ennobling tutelage of Virtue and the humanizing constraint of Morality, are able to reflexly act in their own and, by natural extension, one another's Illumined best interests.
