  1. There is some truth to the cyclical nature of politics but every system is a reflection of its time. Our Founders built a system that relied heavily on virtue. John Adams was clear on the matter: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” That said, the past 250 years has seen more change technological, philosophical, and theological, than any previous 250-year span in recorded history. The inevitable march of progress and the supposed arc of history. That comes with a warning as well: “People fascinated by the idea of progress never suspect that every step forward is also a step on the way to the end.” ― Milan Kundera. Our problems extend well beyond some philosophical debate. Our technology is moving past us at warp speed, we have become a nation that is starting to look more and more like a bunch of people with not much in common beyond sharing the same plot of land, and we have spent ourselves into insane levels of debt that will continue to crush savings and the hopes of the individual as the technology runs him out of his job, the low skilled job he might have gotten to replace it has been snatched up by an illegal alien, and everywhere people are growing more and more restless. It's not that people will want a dictator, but they will will be more willing to accept one. And every dictator points the finger at some group to take the blame. That's just human nature, and we are not immune. My point is, while it may look like some sort of cyclical motion, it's really just what happens when you say no to God and see your neighbor as an enemy. Hence, John Adams statement being proven right. I'm old now so I don't think I'll be around for the final push. I hope I'm not because I spent most of my adult life defending the place. Get right with God and start acting like adults. That's free advice from someone who knows.
