“‘Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.’ — John Adams … What did Adams mean and why do Leftists [sic] hate him and our Founders so much? To our Founders, there is only so much ‘power’ in a political system, a true ‘zero sum’ situation. People ‘power’ is called ‘freedom.’ Government ‘power’ is called ‘tyranny.’ And because only so much power is available, the only place government obtains power is by taking freedoms from the people. The more ‘power’ government has, the less ‘free’ the people are. As they viewed history, our Founders perceived that the constant, unchanging tendency of governments was to gain more and more power, thus leaving their people less and less free.” (04/17/24)
