Once again, John C. Wright finds the perfect blend of religion, philosophy, history, and politics:
The Founding Fathers hated faction and the spirit of faction, and this republic cannot stand if we cannot pack away the language and passions of faction, once the election is over, in the same way we pack up the bunting and the bandwagon banners.
He reflects on “the duties enjoined upon a free man under a republican form of government in these times; and next on the duties of a philosopher; and finally on the duties of a Christian.” Read the whole thing.
