Commonwealth vs. Sharpless, 1815
Here is today's Truth for Patriots with Founder Tom Evans...
“The destruction of morality renders the power of the government invalid …No man is permitted to corrupt the morals of the people…”
This ruling is from the 1815 case “Commonwealth vs Sharpless. The defendants were indicted for “exhibit[ing]… a lewd… painting, representing a man in an obscene… and indecent posture with a woman…” The ruling continued…
“Crimes are public offenses, not because they are perpetrated publicly, but because their effect is to injure the public. Burglary, though done in secret, is a public offense… Hence… an offence may be punishable, if in its nature and by its example, it tends to the corruption of morals…”
This biblical ruling clearly explains why such evils as pornography and homosexuality, though done in private, harm America.
