We The People Really Do Want To Save Our Republic!
A few days ago, as I sat at the computer trying to get a handle on the latest political pulse of America, I had a random thought and it gave me some real hope for taking our great Country back again. Often times random thoughts and feelings take a back burner to life, but for some reason I decided to write this one down. Happily, this random thought has been able to help a few good patriots and I sincerely hope it will continue to do so. Recently, several email exchanges came to my attention and I thought perhaps my random thought may help some of these patriots who are feeling bummed, scared, angry, etc. So here goes my two cents for what it’s worth.
I think the Massachusetts Special Election taking place today, would have been very different in the recent past, mainly because it would not be receiving the attention it is getting today. The American People are finally doing their job, yes they are doing their job as citizens today much more so than yesterday. Yesterday, we the people would not have known about this special election…media would have perhaps mentioned it briefly, however it really would not have been thought about much by us folks, after all it’s not in “our State” what can we do???? We probably would have sat back and watched, not taking the bold steps we’re taking to help. I see this as a true awaking for a lot of Americans. I have several liberal friends in the Boston area, and I personally sent emails to them asking for help with saving our Republic. I would have never done that a couple of years ago. I am no longer a politically correct person, too much is on the line.
As Benjamin Franklin said so long ago in response to the question by Mrs. Powell in 1787,
“Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?”
With no hesitation whatsoever, Franklin responded,
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
Perhaps the American people truly want to keep the Republic our Founding Fathers gave us, today much more so than yesterday!
Personally, I am thanking God for awakening the people. We have reached a turning point yet again in our great history.
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
Well, why couldn’t you keep it?
Because as the founders’ contemporary Edmund Burke said, the majority finds it can vote itself treats from the treasury at the expense of the minority, and the Republic goes broke.
That’s where we’re at. The majority does not pay tax, but has votes, and votes to expropriate you. What do they care if the Republic goes broke in some uncertain future?
Government is a growth industry in literally 90% of the American states, while manufacturing is in decline. This too is unsustainable, the productive sector having to support an ever-increasing state. It’s not my opinion — the data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics don’t lie.

EXCELLENT Keely, You are absolutely right!
BTW I, a believer in Christ and the Holy Spirit, believe those “random thoughts” are really “nudges” from Him. This struggle is NOT separate from our faith, our God, it is so interwoven. This country is a gift from our Father, and surely He weeps over the liberal excesses and abominations in this land. We are HIS people, and He has entrusted us with this beautiful land and unique government. With His help and diligence, we SHALL keep it!
