What a miraculous turn of events... For the universe to create itself. Space and time, then matter... Particles, then different configurations of particles... Elements, molecules... Galaxies, solar systems, planets... Oceans, mountains... Life!!! Then ecosystems, populations, evolution... Bacteria, plants, fungi, and animals... Then mammals, primates, humanoids...

She has written about these ideas at length in two of her books, To Make Men Free and How the South Won the Civil War.
I discovered her books while I was writing the Making of America series. When I got to volume 5, FDR, I realized I needed a deeper understanding of how the parties evolved. That was when I found To Make Men Free (a history of the Republican Party.)

I think it always comes down to the role of government and what the rights of the people are…. And I will always stand by the fact that, I think, government was intended to secure the rights and freedoms of the people.”
Do people understand that "from the river to the sea" means the destruction of Israel and the genocide of it's Jewish population?
