Sunday, March 29, 2009: The chairman of GM has been forced to resign by the executive branch of the federal government. What authority this branch has to do this legally is unclear.
It seems that the whole notion of authority, both of its power and its majesty, has been undermined by those whose job it is to wield it. In the first sense it has been diminished by the profligacy and inconstancy of its use. In the second sense it has been reduced by that very profligacy and by an increased meanness and baseness in the People of this country. The profligacy and increasingly rude manners of the People feed on one another.
The restoration of self-government in the political sense can only be restored by a return to self-governance by individuals regarding their own habits, lives and souls. Barring such a restoration it is clear that American Liberty will necessarily cease. Let us pray the cessation will be slow so that we will have time to arrest it.
The first step is to recognize these problems in order to solve them.
