Edmund Burke wrote, "Those who don't know History are doomed to repeat it"
As liberals do all they can to destroy classical teachings of history and those who knew what its value was, we are saddened to see young people embrace socialism, hedonism and other ideologies which are damaging to society and its growth.
Take for example Baia an ancient city which may have been the basis for Sodom and Gomorrah. It may also hold keys to the history behind the great flood story.
But, unless we study History and teach our children to be inquisitive and look at the Bible with an open mind, we might not learn historical perspective.
Look at the parallels of Baia and today's Rich White Liberal Oligarchy. Today, hedonism and bestial pleasures lead Liberals further into depravity and eventually destruction

More than 2,000 years ago, Baia was the Las Vegas of the Roman Empire – a resort town approximately 30km from Naples on Italy’s caldera-peppered west coast that catered to the whims of poets, generals and everyone in between.
The great orator Cicero composed speeches from his retreat by the bay, while the poet Virgil and the naturalist Pliny maintained residences within easy reach of the rejuvenating public baths.
It was also the place where the rich and powerful came to carry out their illicit affairs.
“There are many tales of intrigue associated with Baia,” said John Smout, a researcher who has partnered with local archaeologists to study the site.
“She poisoned Claudius with deadly mushrooms, but he somehow survived, so that same night, Agrippina got her physician to administer an enema of poisonous wild gourd, which finally did the trick.”
Mineral waters and a mild climate first attracted Rome’s nobility to Baia in the latter half of the 2nd Century BC, and the town was known to them as the Phlegraean (or ‘flaming’) Fields, so named because of the calderas that pockmark the region.
The calderas were revered by the ancient Greeks and Romans as entrances to the underworld, but they also fueled a number of technological advancements: the local invention of waterproof cement, a mixture of lime and volcanic rock, spurred construction of airy domes and marbled facades, as well as private fish ponds and lavish bath houses.
Rome’s ultra-wealthy took weekend trips here to party. Powerful statesmen built luxurious villas on its beach, with heated spas and mosaic-tiled pools where they could indulge their wildest desires.
One resident even commissioned a nymphaeum - a private grotto surrounded by marble statues, dedicated solely to ‘earthly pleasure’.
Rumor has it that Cleopatra escaped in her boat from Baia after Julius Caesar was murdered in 44BC, while Julia Agrippina plotted her husband Claudius’ death at Baia so her son Nero could become emperor of Rome.
Over several centuries, bradyseism, the gradual rise and fall of the Earth’s surface caused by hydrothermal and seismic activity, caused much of the city to sink into a watery grave, where it still sits today.
