The culture war! This topic may have been as familiar to Alexis de Tocqueville in 1830 as it is to us today. What makes for a stable government, and how do the morals and values of the citizens impact the success of a country? This is one of the central questions of Tocqueville's two volume work Democracy in America, and we discuss this work and much more in this episode! Join us as we compare the failure of France's revolutions to America's success, the nature of equality, and how America's people truly govern themselves. We also rant (as always) about whether God has a definite plan for individuals, the need for a national goal, and how federal judges are all just Emperor Palpatine!
