Friday, December 23, 2005  Will Republicans Save the Republic?
Ray McGovern, a retired CIA analyst now working for the Church
of the Savior in Washington, D.C., has written an essay with an
interesting historical parallel entitled, "Will Republican
Senators Save the Republic?" Here's a quote:  Let's hope history
does not repeat itself. The constitution of ancient Rome was put
in place in 510 BC, when the republicans overthrew the last of
the Roman kings, Tarquin the Proud. As was the case 2300 years
later in the newborn USA, the introduction of constitutional
order meant the rule of law and not of kings, providing liberty
under law for every Roman citizen. That experiment lasted almost
five centuries, until the Roman senators fell down on the job.
