"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."  John Adams Protesting vs Rioting.  This week's rioting has nothing to do with the tragic, inexcusable death of George Floyd.Rioting - What is the Purpose?Religion & Faith in a Free Society "With all of its false assumptions and evil methods, communism grew as a protest against the hardships of the underprivileged. Communism in theory emphasized a classless society, and a concern for social justice, though the world knows from sad experience that in practice it created new classes and a new lexicon of injustice." Martin Luther King Jr. The Moral Basis of a Free Society  by Steve Forbes   November 1, 1997 "When the government of China tells people they can read state-run newspapers but not print and distribute Bibles, imprisoning and torturing dissenters; or have one child but not two, forcing women to have abortions; or watch state-run television but not listen to Radio Free Asia, jamming broadcast signals and threatening students--that is not freedom.." "So what is freedom? How can a widely pluralistic society sustain freedom without degenerating into chaos? What is the moral basis of a free society? Today the citizens and leaders of every nation are looking to America for answers to these questions. From Mexico City to Moscow, from Johannesburg to Jerusalem, from Bombay to Beijing, people have an eye on America as they struggle to make the exciting but difficult transition to free markets, free elections, free speech, and free worship."   copied from https://www.hoover.org/research/moral-basis-free-society
