You were not created for a life of managed decline. The modern church has spent a century attempting to domesticate the faith, turning Jesus into a therapist and His Church into an emotional support group. The Christian West was not built by passive men who tolerated the erosion of their civilization.

The American constitution runs on friction. Madison built it that way. "Ambition must be made to counteract ambition," he wrote in Federalist 51, because he expected men to seize whatever power was left unguarded. The House answers to population. The Senate was built to answer to the states. The President carries a veto and his own mandate from the voters. The courts can tell all three of them no. Every gear grinds against another, and that grinding is the point. The first gear came out in 1913. The Seventeenth Amendment handed Senate elections to the same voters who fill the House, and the state legislatures lost their voice in Washington. The Democratic Socialists of America want to finish the job. One chamber, elected by headcount, would choose the executive and the judges and hold both on a leash. The word in their program is "subordinate." An executive subordinate to the legislature cannot veto it. A court subordinate to the legislature cannot overrule it. A citizen who loses in that chamber has nowhere left to appeal. - Marcus Sterling

The Senate is the one room in Washington where West Virginia stands equal to California. That's why the Democratic Socialists of America want it gone. One chamber. No appeal.

You've been told they were many things... Colonial. Unprovoked. A stain. Every account of the Crusades you were given begins in 1095, and a story that begins in the middle is a lie told by omission. Begin instead in 637, when Antioch fell. Then Jerusalem. Then Alexandria, Carthage, Spain, Sicily, and the long grinding loss of Anatolia after Manzikert. By the time Urban preached at Clermont, two thirds of the ancient Christian world lay under a conqueror's rule and the Emperor in Constantinople was writing west for men. Four hundred and fifty years of conquest came first. The Crusades were justified when you start the story where it actually began.

Feminists and socialists hear "patriarchy" then reach for Engels or Millett, who between them managed to reduce the nuclear family to a class struggle. Paul tells a husband to love his wife as Christ loved the Church. Chrysostom said a man must be willing to be cut in pieces for her. Somehow that is now considered oppressive and misogynistic. What do these radical ideologies offer a fifteen year old boy in our country today? Socialism tells him he is oppressed by successful people and that he should "eat the rich." Feminism tells him he's an oppressor for wanting to have a functional family and that his masculinity is something he should unlearn. A household with a strong father is the one institution that cannot be controlled. It feeds its own, disciplines its own, and answers to God alone. Every boy raised by a man who kept his post is one less recruit for a movement that sells nothing but grievance. Deus Vult.

September 17, 1787. Franklin came out of the Pennsylvania State House and a woman asked him what they had made. "A republic, if you can keep it" He gave her a republic and a condition in the same breath. Two hundred thirty-nine years later, the condition is still the only part that matters. A republic runs on citizens who show up, who read the thing before they argue about it, and who accept the bill for their own choices. Self-governance is a job. Most of us have been calling in sick.

Socialism needs conformity. That's why every socialist state ends up policing thought. God gave us a mind to reason and a will to choose. He holds us accountable for both. A man who takes that seriously cannot be folded into the collective.

@Ilhan Under your watch, the American taxpayer was scammed for millions of dollars through childcare and welfare fraud. https://t.co/e2VZeVLOH9
