For those of us born and raised in the U.S., we tend to be less cognizant about what has made America the great nation it is. We tend to lose sight of the "glue" that has held us together for so long and which now seems to be losing its adhesive quality.
The insights of foreign visitors who have resided in the U.S. long enough to appreciate this nation's greatness can sometimes be most revealing. An online video shares just such an insight. A Harvard business professor relates a conversation he had with a Marxist economist Fulbright scholar from China, having asked him if there was anything unexpected he learned about America.
Without hesitation, the scholar said he had no idea how critical religion is to the functioning of a democracy. As told by the professor, the scholar explained democracy works "not because the government was designed to oversee what everybody does, but rather democracy works because most people most of the time voluntarily choose to obey the law...Americans follow these rules because they were not just accountable to society; they were accountable to God."
The professor then offered his concern that, "as religion loses its influence over the lives of Americans, what will happen to our democracy? Where are the institutions that are going to teach the next generation of Americans that they too must voluntarily choose to obey the law? Because if you take away religion, you can't hire enough police."
I dare: It's treason! Straight up and uncontroversial.

DeleteI've been calling it treason since that foreign agent stepped into the now-sullied White House.
ReplyDeleteYup.

First I'd like to say that Barack Obama did a fabulous job addressing blacks, alone. And not the rest of us as a nation. You do a fabulous job of standing on the graves of dead people to fuel your political agenda (which is coming to an end, thanks.) This is a gun control issue? I disagree. You are a stain on our nation. That's all it sums up to. Anytime something bad happens. You're quick to throw around "gun control" and buy into the hippy bullshit that plagues us all, on a daily basis. But you say nothing about the millions of Chicago and Baltimore children getting massacred. You say nothing when white people are gunned down by your apes (do I need to provide references? Just look around)...There's Obama. Making himself look...well, like a stupid colored boy again. And blah, blah, to you, O'Bumbo.
