228 Years Ago, John Adams Warned Us — And We’re Proving Him Right
https://afnn.us/2026/01/06/228-years-ago-john-adams-warned-us/

Quote:
John Adams didn’t write the Constitution like a motivational poster. He wrote it like an engineer handing over a machine with a warning label: this will fail if misused. When he said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other,” he wasn’t sermonizing. He was stating a design limitation.

America read that line and assumed it didn’t apply to us anymore.

The Constitution isn’t a self-correcting system. It’s more like a tall suspension bridge: elegant, efficient, and strong—but only if the cables hold. The Founders didn’t expect the bridge to teach steel how to be steel. They assumed the material had integrity. John Adams knew that once the internal structure corrodes, no amount of paint on the outside keeps it standing.

Adams understood something modern Americans hate to hear: self-government only works when people govern themselves first. Laws don’t create virtue; they merely assume it exists. When citizens lose internal restraint, the state is forced to replace it with external force. That trade is never voluntary, and it’s never reversed easily.

According to President Obama, the former president made it blatantly clear that islam was a key component in the founding of our nation.  The fact that not one single signer of the Declaration of Independence, or any other official document that created this nation had anyone believing in islam sign those documents, that FACT escaped Obama.

This nation was founded on Judo-Christian beliefs.  PERIOD!!!  We have allowed anti-American pukes like Obama and corrupt biased judged to distort what the founders wanted for this nation.

These same un-American entities are why we have men/boys in women's/girls' sports and locker rooms.  These degenerates are why we have teachers/administrators guiding minor children to have sex changes without parental consent because all these clowns are soviet style communists.

UNTIL OUR CONGRESS PASSES LAWS THAT CRIMINALIZE THIS NONSENSE, CHILDREN WILL BE ABUSED IN THE WORST WAY, AND I CONSIDER IT A VERY SERIOUS CRIME AGAINST OUR CHILDREN.
