World history reports that no democracy has ever lasted more than 200 years.

Only a few empires have exceeded that time limit.  Unfortunately, we in the United States of America have important and high-ranking politicians erroneously using the word “democracy” as the type of government established with the ratification of the proposed Constitution in 1788, some years after the Declaration of Independence was issued publicly on July 4, 1776.

The Declaration was signed by 56 colonial (colonies are now called states) delegates who each pledged “with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and or sacred honor.” Thus, the new nation became truly “One Nation Under God” (a phrase added to the Pledge of Allegiance in the last century).

Article IV of the Constitution, Section 4 states: “The United States shall guarantee to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the Legislature, or of the executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic violence.” That is pretty clear, as is most if not all of the wording of both documents.  How much and many times has that been violated by administrations during the last century and the beginning of this one?

Now we are having a daily scream, by both political and media individuals, demanding changes from the form of government established and our original societal norms that would negate all the rights and freedoms specifically guaranteed in the Constitution.  Some of these doing so are not native-born citizens who have obtained public political office and are seeking to destroy the form of government established.

By definition, it seems to me that amounts to treason, or at the very least, revolution, which to me is treason also.  And no action seems to be taken to put a stop to it.  Top officials, in state, county and city levels seek to ignore the existing laws of the land.

In very recent years, the true-blue (and red and white) loyal folks seem to have awakened as to how far we have declined from the founding and are becoming more active, especially politically in voting.  If we are to continue to enjoy the God-given and constitutionally guaranteed rights and privileges, it will take each and every one of us to rise further up and exercise those in the next two or three years.  Those of the Communist/Fascist/Socialist world movement are patient but now seem to be sensing a nearness of victory in converting the original bastion of freedom and security into a mediaeval ruling dictatorship which would bring a true “end of the world as we know it.”  If that happens, then where would these invading hoards go?  Millions would starve or be murdered by out-of-control government enforcers’  Remember the “fast and furious” gun-running program of the past administration which instructed gun shops near the southern border of sell – without the usually required security check – high-powered guns to individuals who would smuggle them to the Mexican drug cartels for use on the border, resulting in a number of border agents being killed, in line of duty?

It seems to me that founder Patrick Henry had it right when he rose in the Virginia Assembly and in a passionate speech ended by saying, “I know not what others will do, but as for me and my family, give me liberty or give me death.”  Far too many of the invaders falsely claiming to be victims have entered our borders in order to form what we called in World War II “Fifth Columns.”  These were groups, mostly recent arrivals in the beginning, of German origin who worked undercover to support the Nazi war effort and thwart ours.  Thus the efforts of PRESDT-45 to “drain the swamp” are well needed and should be supported by every law-abiding, freedom-loving American.  Elected officials choosing to thwart those efforts should be peacefully removed from office.  That accomplished either by vote or by criminal charges in court.  Non-supporting employed officials attempting to sidetrack the efforts should be charged and discharged from their well-paying positions.

It is time to re-activate the cry of World War II: “USA, love it or leave it!”  Too many loudmouths don’t!
