A Republic If You Can Keep It

 


Our Republic has been the longest standing in history. And I am astounded that the Founders, despite being human and certainly not perfect, were so wise as to create a rule of law in the form of the Constitution of the United States with its unique amendments known as the "Bill of Rights" to become a profoundly perfect union of colonies turned states. The Constitution Preamble written by Gouverneur Morris (1752-1816) :
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Thomas Jefferson was asked in 1776 to draft a formal statement to declare the break with Great Britain, which began ....
"When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among 
these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."



After the Constitution Convention of 1787 and as Benjamin Franklin emerged, he was asked by a woman what form of government was decided and his answer was pessimistic that was not in his usual form of optimism that drove him - "A republic, if you can keep it." 

By now, I am sure that everyone knows of the tragic event that occurred on January 6, 2020 where about 50 out of thousands who showed up to demand that a corrupted election be reconciled decided to burst into the Capitol Building creating havoc that ended up with injuries and death of several that included an unarmed woman shot in the neck. How has all that has happened during the course of four years where a president was treated with disrespect by media and members of the legislature and judiciary come to that tragic altercation that sealed the fate of any restitution to rectify voting fraud and to destroy the "Deep State" that has become so powerful that it would undermine rule of law and continue its dissolve of our Republic?


It began during an unpopular war that was originally implemented by the last good Democrat president - John F. Kennedy (JFK). Communists had infiltrated our universities inciting protests against the war funded by Communists at home and abroad. It was the Vietnam War and JFK intended for the United States to become a barrier against the spread of communism. This was the beginning of the Cold War that continued until President Ronald Reagan and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Those young Americans who comprised a new culture in the USA, called "Hippies" became teachers and education administrators who began spreading their Marxist ideology throughout the colleges and universities. Communists, through their study of Karl Marx and his social and political papers that included the Communist Manifesto, knew that young adults could be persuaded through their zeal of being part of a movement or ideology. But the anti-war, pro-Marxists did not just come from the university culture, some of them were part of the Hollywood culture (most infamous is "Hanoi" Jane Fonda) and Vietnam War veterans like John Kerry (who lied about US atrocities before a congressional committee). Kerry was never tried for perjury.


 
 
 These young Americans of the 1960s were sons and daughters of the Great Generation, those that lived through Great Depression and World War II that was a fight against German fascism and imperialism of Japanese. Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union only became an ally when Adolph Hitler had dissolved their pact to carve up eastern and western Europe and was attacked by the same enemy that Britain and USA were fighting against. In reality Joseph Stalin was as much a genocidal criminal as Hitler (to include persecution of Jews) except Stalin's Gulag's (Soviet Union concentration camps) did not utilize gas chambers and ovens to dispose of the occupants. 
But the Socialist movement had infiltrated before that time period beginning with Woodrow Wilson administration and adoption of the European trade union system.
In the matter of education that began in our universities in the 1960s, it is an agenda set forth by Karl Marx ....
The education of all children, from the moment that they can get along without a mother's care, shall be in state institutions.”  
In addition to Marxist ideology being instituted into university culture, attacks were taking place upon America's traditions and sense of patriotism by discounting our Pledge of Allegiance to a point where it was no longer implemented in grade schools. Red Skelton in a special segment of one of his televised shows, explained it perfectly represented in this video.  


So as universities began their Marxist curriculum, it produced a generation who later would be children of those parents. Meanwhile, the so-called "silent majority" remained so either out of apathy or thinking it would be something that would pass never believing that our Republic could reach such a state as it has evolved today. They reached this goal by indoctrinating America's youth and our government and We the People let them get away with it.
And so the gist of the problem is that Patriots didn't participate enough in fighting against the corruption of our Republic. Indeed, the very fabric of our moral culture has been stained and America's youth socially engineered that tried and proven civil ethics and common sense morality has fallen by the way. The indoctrinated Marxists think they are creating a better and unique form of government that will provide the mythical utopia, but in fact they are allowing the ruling elite who have adopted Marxist destructive ideology to begin their loss of individual freedom. As Ronald Reagan so wisely stated:

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

Indeed Ronald Reagan had a prophetic sense and being formerly a Democrat knew where the Democrat Party was heading shown in this poignant video ....


 Another poignant video of a Ronald Reagan speech when he was campaigning for the election of Barry Goldwater ....

 


Can we "keep" our Republic? After January 6th, I fear this is the beginning of the end.

"If we lose freedom here, there is no escape to. This is the last stand on Earth". (Ronald Reagan) 

Our 45th President has been obstructed and attacked in a Democrat-Socialist plan to attempt an administrative coup - and still made his campaign promises good. 

When social media, Marxist Media and the Democrat-Socialist entity can get away with corruption and attempt to wrongfully accuse a president of the what they are guilty of - and America's indoctrinated youth and the wisdom of the Founders swept away in the eyes of the public in the form of destruction and removal of their statues then our Republic is weakened beyond repair. Our Founders were honored by having various infrastructure named after them and when those names are removed to be replaced by some political correct terminology or a figure from the history of communism - this is the "beginning of the end, my friend".

 “It is not so much that those that support Democrat-Socialists is out of ignorance, but that they cannot bear to realize the truth that they have been deceived.” — Keith Allen Lehman
