"The power under the Constitution will always be in the people." ~ George WashingtonIn America, patriotic conservatives have been analyzing our political problems for decades, wishing and hoping we could find a good Constitutional solution to stop the degeneration of American culture and government. Since 2010, when Obama was recognized for what he was, such analysis has been in high gear. In fact we have analyzed to a point where we are now paralyzed and unwilling to take action. During this period of paralysis, we lost the American education system to the communists, and with Joe Biden, we have lost both the Legislative and Executive Branches of the federal government to communism. We have also lost state governments and many big cities to communism. But worst of all, we have lost the American system for elections to the criminal enterprises of our foul governments. Unfortunately, all the Kabuki Theater of the politicians will not correct the corrupt election issues anytime soon, and we no longer have the luxury of time.
"Don't fall victim to what I call the ready-aim-aim-aim-aim syndrome. You must be willing to fire." ~ George S. Patton
"A good solution applied with vigor now is better than a perfect solution applied ten minutes later." ~ George S. Patton
"No campaign plan survives first contact with the enemy" ~ Carl von Clausewitz
"The enemy of a good plan is the dream of a perfect plan." ~ Carl von ClausewitzIs continued analysis going to markedly improve our understanding of the problem? I don’t think so because the enemy has been identified. From my perspective, more analysis is only eye wash to allow people to think something is actually being done. The reality I see is talk, talk, talk is only looking for the perfect plan. There is no such thing! And in the meantime, the republic is circling the drain. As long as we talk, the enemy is safe and happy.
"It is infinitely better to have a few good men than many indifferent ones." ~ George Washington
"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." ~ Samuel AdamsSources vary, but it appears that about 45% of the colonial citizens fully supported the American Revolutionary War and only about 15% actually served in the Revolutionary Army. However, 100% of the citizens that remained with the original 13 colonies benefitted from the efforts of that irate, committed, and tireless minority.
"When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil." ~ Thomas JeffersonIs any further analysis really necessary? Jefferson anticipated the problem 250 years ago. Isn’t it time to develop a plan to correct the problem that the perpetrators of the problem will never address? Or will we just continue wringing our hands and hope “somebody” will fix it for us? Or as only General George S. Patton can say in the direct way only he can voice: "A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week."

After a 55 year career as a professional pilot in the military, in law enforcement, in the private sector, and in federal civil service, I am now retired.
In many of these positions I repeatedly took an oath to defend the United States Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
