Our country is a republic
I’ve been a very busy man. Listening to the radio for many years with thousands of commentaries about our nation and what we should be doing, with the way things are going, as a people. The people have been incrementally, slowly but surely, lulled into a sense of security that the government can do all things, if we put our trust in them.
It’s not what our founding fathers had in mind. Our trust was to be put in our Creator, (or Providence), the way He set it up in the beginning.
So as one person talking to the people, let me start addressing in this way. This country is not a democracy, as you have been told lately and for so many years. It is a republic, one nation under God, is for which it stands.
No more than ever before, the people are responsible for the character of their congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, like it is now, it is because we, as a people, tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption. If it be intelligent, brave, truthful and pure, it is because the people demand these high qualities to represent them in the national and state legislatures. If the next few years do not find us a great nation, do not aid in controlling the political forces.
The moral character of who we are, and how we treat our fellow man, shows up at every level of our government.
As we go, so goes the nation.
