"The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right that Heaven itself has ordained" - President and General George Washington

"And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try Liberty; for Liberty is an acknowledgement of faith in God and His works" - Frederic Bastiat

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free" - President Ronald Reagan

Is The Constitutional Republic Of The USA Worth Living In? Is It Worth Dying For?



Why would our young people and children in school be willing to not only go along with the "fundamental transformation" of the USA, but be excited about it?  I believe that it is because they do not understand how good we have it here in the USA, or at least how good we had it when our Constitutional Republic was alive and fully functional.  They have been indoctrinated in the belief that there is something wrong with the USA as it was Founded, and they have been burdened with a false guilt that they have a duty to fight against what they have been convinced is evil.  They have also been convinced that life itself has little, if any, inherent value and that God is an abstract concept.  This paragraph may seem to be disjointed, but it is not;  all of these things are working together to undermine and destroy the Constitutional Republic of The United States of America.

Now we are at the point that there have been laws passed, and unlawful actions taken by our government, that if they come to fruition then the USA will be a Marxist state.  We still have a shot at avoiding this but only if we address things in the light of the root causes. 

Our children will have to be taught that they are blessed to be in a country where they have a chance to use their God-Given Talents to better themselves and the world around them instead of relying on the government to take away from all of the citizens in order to level out any differences in talents and abilities and results.  They will have to learn that life is a sacred gift from God and we should not end it prematurely nor should we treat the conception of life and responsibility to nurture and teach our children so cavalierly as we have. We will need to teach them ourselves, as parents taking responsibility for the life or lives that we have conceived, because our government programs and our government schools have been teaching them The Principles of Marxism.  Indeed, marriage between a man and a woman who can biologically conceive children together will have to become not only the foundation of families but the sole definition thereof, and children will have to see an example of two parents working together to overcome life's challenges instead of divorcing when there is adversity.  The children will have to know that they are more valuable than any possession in order to be convinced that life itself is a sacred gift that should be guarded and nurtured.  

The young people will have to learn the value of competition and the lessons that can only be learned in defeat and failure, those lessons that lead eventually to success and prosperity.  Indeed, the experience of failure and defeat lead to an appreciation of success and accomplishment that can only come through the rocky road of adversity.  

In a Marxist, or Communist, state there is no personal risk nor is there the possibility of personal accomplishment.  The opportunities are limited to a very few select individuals, and those individuals are determined by a sort of Affirmative Action that comes only through being part of a Ruling Class or gaining favor with the Ruling Class.  The value of the individual and the talent and the "Rising Tide that lifts all boats" is eliminated from consideration.  Once this is lost it may not be possible to reestablish it; any reestablishment of True Liberty in the face of Tyranny would very likely demand a price in blood, just as it did of The Founders of Our Republic. 

Is The Constitutional Republic Of The USA Worthy Dying For?  If it isn't worth that risk, then it won't be worth living in. 

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I believe so. I don't believe America will fall, because we have so many patriots willing to stand for her.

And also we have no place left to run.

It is true that there is no place to run.

Will the majority of citizens be willing to trade in their Liberty for comfort? That is the question that remains to be answered.

One thing is for sure, if we as individuals draw the line at somewhere less than risking everything including our very lives, then the forces of tyranny will prevail. I'm sure that they believe that we don't have the courage to put everything on the line like The Founders did. Will we really have that courage? We'll see.
