I am a perpetual student of history. One of my favorite topics is the history and thought processes of our Founding Fathers. Some people believe that the Constitution is a living document, meant to "evolve" as our society evolves. I am of the mindset that it is a document of intent created by people who studied the history of Europe and Ancient societies. Our Founding Fathers ladened this beautiful document with safeguards to preserve our freedoms then and forever, based on the mistakes and successes of nations who walked before us.

The Founding Fathers greatest fear was the takeover of our nation by a corrupt few. They knew they had a reason to fear it. Just as in the Bible, human nature remains the same over time.

So as we go into this election, there are greater things at stake then just our pocketbook. We are at a constitutional crossroads. Let's just hope we get the job done. Country First!

Founders' Quote Daily

"Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable cruelty of one or a very few."

-- John Adams (An Essay on Man's Lust for Power, 29 August 1763)
