Freedom most sublimely resides in personal sovereignty.

The perfection of lovelessness is the denial of the dignity and the singularity of the individuality of the
individual.

The very definition of socialism.

If only the frailties of fallen human nature the existence of which underlie the persistence of the malady that is the chimera of Communism could be exorcised...

Among the Founders, the collectivist contingent was not a considerable one.

A reality in which everyone is accountable for everything, no one is accountable for anything.

A perfect prescription for ruination or stasis, at best, in any civilization.

Lamentably, licentiousness, of which Communism is an expression, is more nearly contagious than is rooted in right principle Liberty, as frail as human beings are in their fallenness.

Historically, the nobility of the American Experiment, even as as it relates to the experience of the nation's women, has been predicated upon, primarily, the civilizing influence of Judeo Christian instruction, particularly that of Reform Christianity.

The questions to be posed are:

To what is anyone awake?
Of what is he, actually, aware?
What is that constitutes an individual's being alive?

Many there are who are nominally awake and apparently alive who are utterly unaware.

As it is written:

" For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh."

Can there be accountability, in the absence of character?

A stark reflection of the effect that the declension of the nation's character is having.

Speaking of Russian influence.

The most practiced, relentless and remorseless practitioners of maskirovka and purveyors of dezinformatsiya are they who are farcically presuming to fancifully portray Pres. Trump as being little more than a pawn of Vladimir Putin's.

Mike,

It is also written:

"...a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump."

~Galatians 5:9

We can only hope to be delivered from the immoderate influence of free from convictions moderates.

As it is written:

"I know thy works, that they are neither cold nor hot; I would that ye wert cold or hot."
~Revelation 3:15

The distilled ideal of the animating principles of the Founding of the glorious American Republic.

The only certain means of hindering the process of the concentration of governmental power is to populate governments with persons for whom it is a matter of rightly principled conviction that governmental influence and authority, by all necessary measures, ought to be minimized.

As susceptible to conditioned prejudice circumscribed interpretation as words are, Principles, Virtues and Humanity itself, ultimately, transcend the constraints of categorization, classification and labelling.

The baleful fruit of false intellectual pride and attendant ideology informed and delimited prejudice and parochialism.

How characteristic it is for any who are unable to pridefully credit themselves for
the creation of right order to monomaniacally zealously apply themselves to the destruction of it.

A Creator imparted understanding that was once inherent in Man, the vestigial influence of which is the basis of the existence of everything that we know such as can be veritably characterized as being civilization.

Mr. Moynahan was a product of an earlier, occasionally reasonably rightly
attached to reality generation of not unfailingly steeped in Statist dogma Democrats, without question.

In this day of the cataclysmic declension of Virtue, there is in evidence, at best, a nominal tolerance for the Truth.

The sententiously stated, irreproachable quintessence of the philosophy of the Founding.

It is only in the presence of Virtue, in the attendant absence of ambition, that power can be rightly delegated and exercised.

The mindless disposition of many to follow foolish precedents has been hobbling wholesome human advancement, in manifold spheres, for millennia.

In this day of the fundamental denial of, the willful, commonly conditioned or studied, disbelief in the existence of Objective Truth, by what may well be a plurality of the population, argumentation assumes its most contemptible, uninformed and unconstrained by facts, form, serving almost exclusively as a vehicle for the advancement of the agendas of ambitious, unscrupulous, fear and power mongering ideologues.

With subversive purpose, for seemingly endless decades, morbidly great emphasis has been placed, in public discourse, on the what are characterized as being deficiencies of our society, deficiencies such as are common to civilizations, that are rooted in the essential frailty of fallen human character.

Surrealistically enough, in this day of moral and sociocultural inversion, the nation's now vestigial virtues are unrelentingly portrayed as being not merely frailties but as actual evils.

Were it not for the contemporary American rendering of the Soviet Union's samizdat, the primarily electronic, particularly Internet and radio based alternative news and information resources that exist, mercifully, the nation's journalistic landscape would be a veritable wasteland.
