Have you ever met a person suffering from complete memory loss due to Alzheimer's? My wife's mother, Sarah, was such a person. She couldn't remember who she was or recognize her daughter.
In 2019, family and friends gathered to celebrate Sarah's 80th birthday in the assisted living facility where she lived. Several times she was asking where Jack was. She apparently couldn't remember that Jack, her beloved husband of 53 years, had passed away eight years before in 2011.
Freedom is also easily taken away from those who have lost their memory. It is no different in regard to nations. America is such a nation. Complete collective amnesia has befallen America,
the most prosperous nation in the history of the world, where liberty for all used to be customary.
In his farewell address to the nation in 1796, President George Washington said: "Of all the dispositions and habits that lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports." Religion and morality as the custodians of national welfare and spiritual health are today close to the point of getting fully erased from America's collective memory.
As if foreseeing the noxious influences that would pollute and vitiate America, and what to do about it, Thomas Jefferson [1743-1826] wrote: "When once a republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying
any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil."
