The Least You Can Do

“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” ~ Last sentence of the Declaration of Independence

Fifty-six men committed to the above pledge. After devoting their lives to that commitment, most, in fact, died as paupers. They said what they meant and meant what they said.

“Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it.” ~ John Adams

In the 2026 mid-term elections, America is facing an existential threat from the domestic enemies within. Too many young people who only know what to think and were denied the opportunity to learn how to think are voting. These unfortunate victims of the public education system have had the worst theoretical political system poured into their heads and are about to vote for the enemies of the traditional American way of life.

That enemy is no longer hiding in the shadows. They have come right out and told us that they want to destroy the United States Constitution by getting rid of the presidency, the Supreme Court, and the Senate. However, they won’t say what they will replace it with. It isn’t hard to guess that they want a tyrannical socialist dictatorship. They have already told us that they want to confiscate all private property for the good of the collective. Then you and I will own nothing, and we are supposed to like it. That is called redistribution of wealth.

"There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism--by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide." ~ Ayn Rand

Those poor brainwashed ignorant victims of the socialist education system are willingly participating in the suicide of traditional America. All they would have to do is talk to anyone who have actually lived under socialism or communism to find out there is no such thing as the “warmth of collectivism” utopia. There is only the misery of poverty and death, except for the rich elites in control.

"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, and not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless." ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

I know that there is nothing we can do to educate the cool-aid drinkers of socialism between now and November 3, 2026. However, the least you and I can do is to make sure everyone we know, who is an American patriot, shows up to vote down socialism. We owe that to those 56 men who stepped up in 1776 and committed everything for our liberty. Not to vote is to vote for the opposition.

In 2027, we will have the government we deserve. Which one will it be?

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.
