It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”. John Adams “However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion. ” George Washington in his farewell speech…. “When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil,” Thomas Jefferson Let me add one more… …tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX) but “to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER” and if being bound in that manner, is not slavery, then is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth… Thomas Paine Much more in the podcast: https://csctalkradio.com/podcast/for-a-moral-and-religious-people/ Watch the show on FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/100063867796983/videos/4212864445598049 LISTEN: https://csctalkradio.leanplayer.com/past-events WEBSITE: https://csctalkradio.com/ ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/csc-talk-radio-with-beth-ann-podcast-4982608/episodes/for-a-moral-and-religious-people-4-14-26-our-constitution-was-made-only-for-a-moral-and-religious-people-it-is-wholly-inadequate-to-the-government-of-any-other-john-adams/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/csc-talk-radio-with-beth-ann-podcast-4982608/for-a-moral-and-religious-people-4-14-26-our-constitution-was-made-only-for-a-moral-and-religious-people-it-is-wholly-inadequate-to-the-government-of-any-other-john-adams.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
