Introduction. The End of Madison’s Representative Republic.
Our podcast extends the recent comment by Jesse Kelly, Host of ‘I’m Right’ on the television channel, The First.
Kelly tweets,
“We need a national divorce. I have no common bond with these people. There is nothing keeping us together. Let’s get through this pandemic and start working out the details.”
We argue that the current ideological differences between Democrat socialists and natural rights conservatives are irreconcilable and irresolvable.
We cite the historical case of the Roman Republic that collapsed when citizens lost trust and allegiance to the Roman rule of law.
We argue that the ideological differences involve fundamental disagreements over the mission of the nation, and we use the original principles of the nation to argue that a representative republic can only endure if it is built upon shared cultural values that bind the citizens into a common mission.
We use the analogy of a failed marriage to argue that there is no longer any love between socialists and conservatives, and that the best course of action is to admit that Madison’s representative republic is over.
Coming to grips with the fact that the national marriage is over means crossing the American Rubicon, to create a new constitution for a new nation, built upon the state sovereignty framework of the Articles of Confederation.
And, like the end of a marriage, crossing the divorce Rubicon means bidding our former spouse good luck, goodbye, and God speed.
The Roman Republic was based upon allegiance of citizens to obey the unwritten rule of law. The allegiance to the rule of law was voluntary. The allegiance was sustained because Roman citizens shared a widespread cultural value of personal honor that compelled voluntary allegiance to obey the rule of law.
The fall of the Roman Republic was caused by a widespread moral decay of the traditional Roman social and moral codes of behavior, both in the elites and the common citizens.
The traditional values that Roman citizens shared were virtue, individual dignity, self-discipline, and sense of duty.
Cicero explained the fall of the Roman Republic as the collapse of morality by saying,
“Everybody demands as much political power as he has force behind him. Reason, moderation, law, tradition, and duty count for nothing.”
In other words, the Roman Republic was based upon respect for the unwritten rule of law that compelled voluntary obedience to the written law. When the respect for the unwritten rule of law eroded, the Roman Republic ended.
When Caesar reached the Rubicon, from his conquest of Gaul, he was aware that respect for rule of law was ending because he had become a victim of the corruption of the Roman Senate.
Before he crossed the Rubicon, he invited a number of Roman historians and philosophers to come to the river and describe the situation in Rome.
They described the rampant corruption of the Senators, who were using the government to enrich themselves.
After his discussions with the historians, he reached his own psychological Rubicon that the Roman Republic was over. Part of his motivation to cross the Rubicon was to end the corrupt Roman Republic.
In crossing the Rubicon, Caesar precipitated a 6 year civil war with Pompey, the leader of the corrupt regime in the Roman Senate.
Like Caesar, American natural rights conservatives must cross their own psychological Rubicon that the national marriage with Democrat socialists is over.
The conservative’s ideological divisions with socialists are irrevocable and irreconcilable.
Like the Roman Senate, the national government has been captured by a centralized, global, elite tyranny that uses the agencies of government to enrich themselves.
Like the Roman Senators, the corporate and socialist ruling class elites in Washington have a profound disrespect for the rule of law, and a profound hatred of non-socialists.
Madison’s Constitution is no help to citizens in eliminating the tyranny, because Madison’s institutional rules of the Constitution did not contemplate a disunion between citizens in the principles and mission of the nation.
Madison’s rules were designed to check and balance commercial financial social classes, not ideological differences over freedom and liberty.
The ideology of socialism does not fit into Madison’s Constitution because it is a unified philosophical view of the world. As the socialists use the term in their propaganda, the ideology is aimed at achieving a future state of “social justice,” not protecting and preserving liberty, today.
Attempting to “fix” Madison’s Constitution with amendments does nothing to change the behavior of Democrats, or restore their respect for the rule of law.
Polybius wrote,
“Once people had grown accustomed to eating off others’ tables and expected their daily needs to be met, then, they found someone to champion their cause... they instituted government by force.”
The socialists, as predicted by Polybius, expect the government to meet their daily needs, and they are committed to taking over the government by force to eradicate a society based upon individualism.
The Democrat socialists masquerade as American citizens because they need the basic liberties of the nation, in order to destroy the liberty of the conservatives.
Natural rights conservatives must adjust their mental image of Democrats in order to accommodate the new, changed political reality that Democrats hate America, hate conservatives, and are dedicated to taking away fundamental civil liberties.
Conservatives must bring themselves to the conclusion that there are only two options open for dealing with the socialists.
Either the nation can embark on a civil dissolution, where both factions form their own nation, or the citizens can embark on a civil war, where the victor imposes order on the losers.
