Enemies Domestic

There was once a time in America when we took the threat of the destruction of our free, capitalist, constitutional Republic very seriously. From the beginnings of our Nation, we were warned that the greatest danger would come, not from foreign powers, but from within. Ben Franklin’s prophetic remark just minutes after the creation of the Constitution, “A republic, if you can keep it,” first sounded the warning that, today, needs to be repeated loud, clear, and often. Everywhere you turn today, everywhere you look, it seems there’s a “progressive” Democrat shouting, often hysterically, about how we MUST accept their radical, extremist, far-left view of everything from law to morality to economics to science, and so on, ad nauseam. Yet, it’s usually patently obvious that their definitions and the resulting policy demands are ultimately aimed at removing our individual freedom, and imposing totalitarian, top-down big government control over everything. And from experience garnered from well over 60 years being involved in politics to one degree or another, let me assure you that politicians, especially leftist ones, have zero qualms about lying to you one minute, and then denying it the next. And, to paraphrase H. L. Mencken, you cannot go broke betting that what the left is accusing us of doing is exactly what they are guilty of.
