“ Some of us happen to believe that when our founders talked about guarding our virtue and freedom, that that was important. Whether it’s John Adams saying our Constitution was made only for moral and religious people … Ben Franklin, only a virtuous people are capable of freedom, as nations become corrupt and vicious they have more need of masters. We have been at war with the very pillars, the very foundation of this country.
Representative Louie Gohmert of Texas, in further comments about the theatre shooting in Aurora, CO.
“as nations become corrupt and vicious they have more need of masters.” Is anyone else as disturbed as I am by this coming from the mouth of a member of Congress? Talking about the need for masters in the same verbal paragraph as he mentions freedom takes a special kind of dangerous cognitive dissonance.
