The United States of America is a great nation. The nation has
become great by virtue of its goodness. The nation has been good
because it is founded upon and has been nourished by the
Judeo-Christian world view during its first 200 years. During the
past fifty years our citizenry has been puzzled by increasing
social evidences of pleasure seeking, criminal behavior, greed,
family frailty and angry dividedness. Students of history report
these misfortunes to be manifestations of decline, as seen in all
fallen cultures of the past. Arnold Toynbee, one of those students,
is of the opinion that by virtue of free will, once the process is
understood, any culture can regain its spiritual creativity and
rise to even greater heights. Love of liberty is a universal fact
of human nature. Liberty in its purest form was captured by those
who crafted our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.
Both documents identify the sovereignty of the citizenry and the
servile role of government. But the democratic republic created by
them is a fragile political entity and in very subtle ways a
comfortable population can allow responsible liberty to become
eroded by the "decadence of irresponsible freedom" (Solzenhitzen).
