Quotations and Deconstruction


I find it highly intriguing that our liberal friends never seem able to muster a well applied quotation from a founding father. Our great country is founded primaily on the insight and wisdom of these Godly men; why then are they incapable of reinforcing leftist political idealogies using the canonical principles pontificated in their speeches and writings?
They will occasionally distort and decontextiualize a proverb concerning liberty to justify a degenerate moral practice they seek to ratify. These ”socially tolerant” and “progressive” cries for personal freedom under the questionable interpretation of the 9th amendment (Right to Privacy interpretation) are clearly not the freedoms spoken of so pervasively throughout the document. Take note:

A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the
liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people
are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then
will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal
invader.
Samuel Adams, letter to James Warren, February 12, 1779
