Sometimes I feel like an unworthy version of James Madison when I think if things like this – a sort of contemporary Publius. Do you ever wonder if cultures and civilizations are limited in scalability? If you look at even the greatest of historical empires, it seems that 1) they are small in population and/or…
Nothing the progressive left says is true – every single word is a defense of progressivism in a quest for power.
