“[The United States will be safer] when a proportion of our people become well informed. Schools, colleges and churches are in my opinion essential to governments like ours.” – American Founder, John Jay

Liberty Letters Comment: Education, religion and morality – these are the keys. Imposing a democratic styled government on a people who lack education in the essentials of succesful self-government, who lack moral restraint, and who in fact, care nothing for religious liberty, will never succeed to do anything but destabilize a region of the world, leading to less, not more liberty, more, not less violence, and more, not less power to the socialist international power structure which hopes to exploit such instability. Likewise, at home, as groups like the ACLU yank God and morality out of our schools, just where do we think our freedoms are headed? Someone once said, “Morality without knowledge is weak and useless, whilst knowledge without morality is dangerous and dreadful.” Think about it – this is especially true of free societies, as founder John Jay suggested.
