    From the article...


    It’s an older article but the truth seems to remain constant. That as unbelievers age, many more of them become believers than the other way around. It is something I constantly research.
    I agree completely with the article but the only thing I would point out is that the distance from religion by the younger generations is far far more now than it's ever been

    Too many progressives look at the constitution as an impediment. They’re always looking for ways to finagle their way around it or turn it into a ‘living document’.
    Yes, you hate democracy.

    No. Use a dictionary if you don't know what "democracy" means.

    maybe you should use a dictionary to know what 'republic' means.................just saying, asshole.
    A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

    One, recognize that a lot of Americans hate democracy. We need to fund our public schools to teach civics to our children.

    Two, President Biden needs to use the word "democracy" and lecture our nation on our own history.

    Three, we need to understand that fascism is a perversion of democracy and specific failure of the system.
