Found an article (no author listed) in the vault that reminded me of crazy Joe.
Someone (redacted) mailed it to Gen MacArthur in the 1950’s.

What did Ol’ Joe mean when he said this was a battle for the soul of the nation?
If we are sincere in our desire to defend our republic it would seem apparent that we must first of all understand what it is that we should be defending but are not
The American Republic has a soul— that for which it stands. Unless we understand this “soul” we cannot intelligently draw up the plans for its defense.
Our republic stands for:
1. a firm faith in the existence of God, a supreme authority, conscience, mind.
2.a firm faith in God’s ability to provide or govern not only our land but the universe as well,a faith in His ability to provide for the general welfare

3. A firm faith in the supreme rightness and justice of God’s law and our willingness to obey it
4. A firm faith in the Word of God as truth

In addition to understanding what it is we should defend, we also require a knowledge of those forces which already threaten, or would threaten, our republic.
We are, or should be, more concerned with those forces which would destroy or conquer that for which our republic stands - - it’s soul.
We require knowledge of those forces which already do or would subvert, pervert, or change that for which our republic stands.
We must combat those forces which support:
1. The belief that God does not exist, that men must and can create God, a supreme authority, conscience or mind- - an almighty government
2. The belief that a humanly created god (government) must and can determine the general welfare
1. The belief that God does not exist, that men must and can create God, a supreme authority, conscience or mind- - an almighty government
2. The belief that a humanly created god (government) must and can determine the general welfare
3. The belief that the almighty government can and must create rightness or justice by legislating the will of the majority or the consensus of opinion of the “experts”.
4. The belief that men must and can create truth on the basis of modern science, the words of man or knowledge of the worldly.
It is our job to oppose those forces which would make of our republic a monument to man, a republic which would stand for and serve another god.
