Hello! This is Darrell Castle. Today, I will begin a discussion of Western civilization, how its destruction happened, and what that means for us in today’s world. As a backdrop for what has happened to the rule of law in America, I will use the President’s recent speech that he made on guns.

The rule of law was one of the columns holding up Western civilization. It can be described with the old adage, “We are a nation of laws and not of men,” but a better one would be “that the law applies equally to the leaders, the elite – our rulers – as it does to us.” Both concepts are completely dead today. They came out of the Magna Carta 800 years ago, but today they are dead. That does not bode well for the future of America. This discussion will attempt to begin an explanation of what happens in Western societies when the moral authority, that was once Western civilization, is destroyed.

The president’s actions violate at least the Second and 10th Amendments, which are known as the Bill of Rights. It also violates Article I, Section I, of the U.S. Constitution, which vests all legislative authority in Congress. The president apparently has no regard whatsoever for that most precious thing he endeavors to destroy. The president obviously understands that he is limited in the exercise of dictatorial powers without the cooperation of Congress, so he prepared a very well-acted, emotional stage play to garner the sympathy and support of the American people in the exercise of his dictatorial power. His speech was short on details and long on emotion, leaving us in the dark about what hard steps he will actually take to enact his policies. I will cover only the main anatomy of this speech, because it is the principle that interests me.
