I think the only thing missing from this discussion is that we have invited too many third world people into this country that know nothing and care nothing about our inheritance and its architecture...they don't want to learn about it nor embrace it. They want to impose their way of life over ours. Evidence of this is overwhelming in places like Dearborn Michigan, Minneapolis Minnesota and Western Europe in general. To save itself this country needs to deal with the failures of not only mass migration but also that of a failed immigration system. I pray for our country every day 🙏

This is the antidote to managed decline and performative division. Unity cannot mean surrender to the loudest faction, the administrative state, or the media’s binary machine. Real unity means recovering the floor beneath the Republic: God-given rights, moral citizens, strong families, churches, neighborhoods, voluntary associations, and a government limited enough to leave room for civilization. The Founders did not build a secular bureaucracy with fireworks. They built ordered liberty on a moral foundation sturdy enough to hold difference without turning difference into civil war. “United we stand” is not a bumper sticker. It is a warning: remember what you stand on.
I agree that we are a Christian nation and that Christianity cannot be coerced (nor any faith, including Christianity's antithesis Islam) . But I cannot disagree more about there being some tension between "women's rights" and abortion. Abortion is murder.
I am reminded of king Solomon's court hearing a dispute between two women over which was the mother of a child. Solomon ordered the baby to be cut in half and half be given to each woman. The woman who was willing to give up raising the child that he might live was truly the mother. She was not necessarily the one who gave birth to him, though many wrongly assume she was. Instead, she was the one willing to sacrifice her joy for his life. It is for this reason that abortion is murder; those who commit it are the other woman who was happy to accept death. God puts hard burdens on us all at times, but that is no excuse to break faith with God.
So, do you want a pluralistic country that is dead? Or a faithful country that is alive but under God's care and not yours? We are called not to repay evil with evil; we are to repay evil with good. We should not accept "pluralism" (which is actually idolatry, much as socialism is actually communism) but never stop encouraging faith as this article seems to suggest—our foundation is not pluralism. It is Jesus.
Thank you for sharing this essay, Seth. I want to share it with a number of people who have expressed interest in the constitution, and who love our nation.
Today, I want to celebrate and commemorate the events that transpired 200 years ago. This is a serious essay that reminds us of that foundation, but also forces us to look inward.
Hard.
And really face who we are today - individuals as part of a good and greater whole, and our roles and actions.
Are we building up? Or tearing down?
To whom are we serving? God and our fellow man? Or ourselves?
I will share this tomorrow and hopefully have it gain purchase within the hearts and minds of people who are willing to take that look.
Willing to examine their hearts.
Willing to change their lives.
Happy 250th birthday America!
Though not perfect in execution, the ideals we stand for are still worth fighting for.
And yes, even dying for.
That all men are created equal.
That we all have rights of freedom and life in our respective pursuits of happiness.
And that we afford the same courtesy to others as long as it does not take away from their rights as well.
And finally, thank you Seth for the indomitable spirit you possess to help restore the rightful balance of power to the people in our self-governing republic.
Such a great post, full of details that MATTER. The part regarding Justice and Mercy, reminded me of this:
Micah 6:8 KJV. He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?
