“The founders of that ancient empire were robbers and women stealers, and made laws favoring monogamy in consequence of the scarcity of women among them, and hence this monogamic system which now prevails throughout all Christendom, and which has been so fruitful a source of prostitution and whoredom throughout all the Christian monogamic cities of the Old and New World, until rottenness and decay are at the root of their institutions both national and religious.” WorldHas BeensMadeChristianLawReligiousCitiesSourceConsequenceRootsInstitutionsAncientEmpiresCatholicismNew WorldDecayFoundersProstitutionScarcityPolygamyRobbersMonogamyChristendomOld And NewStealers Book:Journal of Discourses Source: Journal of Discourses

“America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire. The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known. We were born out of revolution against an empire. We were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal.

Drawn from every end of the Earth, and dedicated to a simple concept, E pluribus unum: Out of many, one.” WorldGivingHas BeensEndsSelfStatesEarthAmericaCultureBornSimpleUnitedKnownUnited StatesProgressBloodCenturySourceRevolutionEqualConceptsIdealsAround The WorldBordersEmpiresDedicatedShedStereotypeCrude Author:Barack Obama
