Defending Constitution That Gave America Stability, Prosperity, Freedom More Critical Now Than Ever

The Epoch Times

Americans today believe that they can embrace socialist, Marxist, or communist ideas and still have the stability, freedom, and prosperity that the country has enjoyed for more than two centuries, and maybe make it even better, said Tim Barton, president of WallBuilders organization. WallBuilders is an organization dedicated to presenting America’s forgotten history and heroes with a specific emphasis on “the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built,” its website states.

In an interview with The Epoch Times, Barton said people have taken for granted the fact that the Constitution is more than 230 years old. They don’t recognize that the stability they have been able to live with for all those years owes to the constitutional foundation on which America was built.

Now America is in a dangerous situation that we might not ever recover from if the majority of Americans decide to follow socialism. Americans have forgotten the history of communism and do not realize the dangers of it.

“We have been able to live with such stability for those more than 230 years, that they don’t recognize how unique it is, how much freedom we’ve enjoyed in America, and how much prosperity we’ve had, and how much stability we’ve had.”

“Nobody really in the rest of the world for the last several hundred years has enjoyed any of the blessings and levels of prosperity and freedom that we’ve enjoyed in America.”

There has never been a time in America where more people have openly and proudly embraced Marxist ideology, Barton said. Americans used to remember what happened in the 20th century under Marxism and communism, where communist regimes were responsible for more than 100 million deaths in the 20th century alone.

Today, the majority of college students see capitalism and the free market as bad or evil and perceive socialism as a good thing. “They embrace it because they don’t recognize, we’ve done such a poor job teaching history in America,” Barton explained.
