To anyone reasonably in touch with the nation-destructive tragedy rapidly unfolding around and upon us, it should not at all be a news flash that “We the People” have a most serious problem on our hands!
Not actually all that long ago, and being most aware of the failures of prior “democracies,” such as ancient Athens and Rome, our country’s founding fathers feared creating a government too similar to a “pure democracy”—which can result in mob-rule and tyranny-of-the-majority; where fifty-one percent could take away the rights of the other forty-nine.
Through experience with British oppression, and gifted with unique insight and great wisdom, they instead established a first and to date one-of-its-kind “Constitutional Republic”—where, through “constitutional design,” sovereignty deliberately rests (thus far) with “we the people.” Where we can (thus far) act lawfully on our own and through elected representatives to deal with issues; where our government’s power ultimately comes from and is limited by its citizens.
Thus establishing our nation of unequaled liberty, freedom, and opportunity—governed (thus far) by its citizens through three separate but equal branches of government: the legislative, executive, and judicial.
MOST REGRETFULLY, years of ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and irrational fear—on the part of too many of us and our elected representatives—have taken our country down a most dangerous path. One possibly best symbolized by the following “life-cycle scenario.” And, although an assertion of often debatable origin, one nonetheless having deeply unsettling and prophetic “similarities” to our country’s current status and direction!
“THE LIFE CYCLE OF A DEMOCRACY”: A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It will continue until the voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury.
From that point on, the majority will always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury. Eventually every democracy will collapse, due to loose fiscal policy, and be followed by a dictatorship.
From the beginning, the greatest civilizations of the world have only lasted about 200 years, and have always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From Bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From Spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From Courage to liberty;
4. From Liberty to abundance;
5. From Abundance to complacency;
6. From Complacency to apathy;
7. From Apathy to dependence;
8. From Dependence back to bondage.”
Yes, America—“we” have a problem! One rapidly increasing in severity, and representing nothing less than an existential threat to the inalienable (God-given) rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness!
And evidence of this shameful tragedy is all around us. Such as, the recent (March 10, 2021) legislation “adding” another $1.9 trillion to our already unsustainable $28 trillion National Debt! As the socialist/communist radical-left demons, now infesting our federal government, continue their agenda of turning us into a nation of divided and conquered “dependents”!
Into subservient beings relying upon “the government” for our every want and need; and systematically destroying the “foundation blocks” of our nation (i.e., our U.S. Constitution; borders, common-language English; and common-culture founded on Judeo-Christian values)!
We must soon (not later) find and employ ways and means to “take back our country,” and effectively demonstrate to the socialist/communist demons infiltrating our nation and our government, that we “have had enough” and will no longer tolerate neither their presence, nor their anti-America agendas!
And, while the solutions may not be readily apparent and the challenges overwhelming, we are nonetheless at least armed with demonstrated evidence of what won’t work—that of course being, more of the same self-destructive ignorance, apathy, complacency, denial, greed, and irrational fear that dug the life and liberty destroying abyss we are now in!
Yes, we must step up and do what’s necessary! And, should we need a special booster shot of incentive—“the future of America’s children and grandchildren might well be a meaningful starting place”!

“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” ―Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), 16th U.S. President.
“Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction—it is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.” —Ronald Reagan (1911-2004), 40th U.S. President.
