It seems that there is a complete misinterpretation of America’s situation today as opposed to the various situations America faced in the past. Always in the past, the overwhelming majority of Americans were pro-American. Nearly 100% of the American federal government employees were committed to preserving and protecting the United States Constitution. Historically, America has done a wonderful job of self-correcting when it veered off course.
“America is great because America is good; if America ever ceases to be good, she will no longer be great.” ~ Alex de Tocqueville
Alex de Tocqueville pointed out that our forefathers created a great nation because it was a good nation. In my mind, our nation remains good, in spite of the fact that our federal government and too many local governments are anything but good. However, if the good people remain passive and silent, then America will inevitably cease to be good.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." ~ Edmund Burke.
Sadly, there has been a paradigm shift that most Americans have either not noticed or have chosen not to acknowledge. Where once Americans could rely upon federal employees to honor their oath of office and protect and defend the Constitution, today’s federal employees protect and defend their job and organizations and totally ignore the provisions of the United States Constitution. In the federal employee ranks, the me, me, me generations have replaced the we are more important than me generations. The America our Founding Fathers gave us cannot survive this new paradigm, as was pointed out repeatedly by the writings of our Founding Fathers.
