"Every nation in history that collapsed from anything other than direct and immediate invasion, was a victim of its own internal failures. Rome fell, the Chinese dynasties collapsed, and even the great tsardom of Russia eventually deteriorated from the interior out. Intellect fell by the wayside, and power was usurped by individuals who were strong but not necessarily intellectual – powerful, but not intuitive. Greed and intimidation became the new gods. Intellect, compassion, and logic were driven out by the wolves in the pack, and only domination and deceit remained.What made America unique for so long, was that we refused to allow the wolves to rule. We set standards of morality for the nation, and created failsafe devices in our Constitution so that this couldn’t happen to us."
