—“The Founding Fathers had a similar goal [to Doolittle]. They believed a republic existed to create the perfect structure where a man could pursue virtue, or was free to pursue virtue, explicitly rejecting any hedonistic concepts of “freedom”. They did not consider any form of democracy fit for non-virtuous men who did not have virtue as their primary goal. That it would descend into chaos. A complete monarchy populated by virtuous men is far preferable to a democracy infested with unprincipled degenerates. As we’re observing, in real time.”—James Louis LaSalle
