I really like your concise list of two. You've discovered a foundation below the foundation. It reminds me of Rene' Descartes famous couplet: "Cogito ergo sum" (English: "I think, therefore I am"). The problem is, to whom is man accountable?
To theists the answer is obvious, but the world consists of more than theists. Skousen argues that free government is not intended for other than a theist society. However, the form of government that the Founders created is even more remarkable when you consider how well it has governed in spite of the inequality of man.
(The word inequality here is used as it is defined by Alma: http://scriptures.lds.org/en/alma/28/13#13).
But the tides of evil cannot be held off forever. There is an overflowing scourge coming and it is even now at our doors.
(See http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/45/28-31/#28)
The Book of Mormon has been sounding its warning voice (symbolized by the trumpeting Moroni on the top of Mormon temples throughout the world) for almost two hundred years. But is it being heeded?
If the world will not hear the Book of Mormon, what makes you think that they will hear you?
Mormon and Moroni have warned us about a secret combination that would seek the overthrow and utter destruction and abolishment of free government in our day. But if you try to tell anyone about it, you hear: "Not another conspiracy theory."
I admit that I was feeling a little hopeful when I decided to vote for Barack Obama in the last election. What ties could a junior senator from Illinois have with world domination conspirators? But that feeling of optimism quickly faded. The world wide conspiracy is alive and well.
What Dr. Skousen had to say on this subject is truly fascinating. If you read his biography on wikipedia (link provided on my previous post), you will find that he had many opportunities to gain inside knowledge. Here's a quote from page one of
The Naked Capitalist:
"This reviewer (Dr. Skousen) had also observed a number of strange developments which seemed to point to a conspiratorial control center higher and stronger than either Moscow or Peiping. For example, when Harry Dexter White (Under-Secretary of the U.S. Treasury during World War II) was discovered by the FBI to be a Soviet agent, the White House was immediately informed. But instead of being fired or arrested, Harry Dexter White was appointed as the new Executive Director of the U.S. Mission to the International Monetary Fund of the United Nations. He was also given a substantial increase in salary. J. Edgar Hoover was amazed. Attorney General Herbert Brownell, Jr. stated publicly that President Truman knew White was a Soviet spy when he made the appointment."
My point is that there will always be men who are seeking for power. These are the ones who generally become our politicians. If it wasn't for the Constitution of the United States, the few freedoms that we still enjoy would have been gone a long time ago. It is my belief that the Lord set up the government of the Unites States of America to give us enough time to get the warning voice out to the nations before the prophesied judgements begin to be poured out upon all governments and people that do not recognize the True Sovereign of this world. Until men realize that they are not God, the sword of the True God will be hanging over them ready to fall at any moment.
