'Historian' David Barton: USA To Collapse In 80 Yrs w/o 'Premarital Purity & Postmarital Fidelity' [View all]

In an interview at a Cleveland Right to Life Event , self-proclaimed historian David Barton declared that “no nation” has ever survived more than 80 years past a collapse of “premarital purity and postmarital fidelity.”



“In regards to the moral standing of other democracies, including ancient Rome, how is the United States measuring up today?” an interviewer asked Barton in an edited clip posted on YouTube by the anti-choice group.

“Well, we got real trouble,” Barton responded.

“…Pre-marital purity and post-marital fidelity…no nation, any nation in 5,000 years has ever survived two generations past that, so it’s gone within 80 years,” he said. “So Rome’s the same way.” http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/barton-america-will-collapse-within-80-years-without-premarital-purity-and-postmarital-fidel
