‘restoration of the Republic under the U.S. Constitution of 1789 is as inevitable as the restoration of the Monarchy in England after the death of Cromwell’

That is what my namesake thought in Rome, and for a little while, by means of an ocean of blood, he succeeded. Fifty years later, after nearly continuous Civil Wars, the exhausted Romans turned to Caesar Augustus.

To: Lucius Cornelius Sulla

Sulla:

Many Americans would INDEED fight fifty years of civil wars in the defense of liberty rather than fall under the iron boot of radical socialism for one single mircosecond!

Always remember if we allow this current version of communism to conquer America, it will literally change the USA into a NEW USSR that will never again relate to the vision of our Founding Fathers.

Take a look at Russia.

When Communism finally collapsed after decades in 1989 it proved to be impossible to restore even a fraction of the freedom that existed even under the oppressive Czars, much less that of the liberal regime of Alexander Kerensky that lasted only a few short months in 1917.

The same would be true in America.

War - even civil war - is not the worse fate to befall a country.

Never forget the American Republic is not the ancient Roman Republic ruled by oligarchy of slave owning aristocrats like the long gone Sulla: We are a Free Republic that has learned much from the mistakes of other nations including Rome. All true Americans - perhaps one HUNDRED MILLION STRONG - believe the REPUBLIC is “our thing” belonging to each Patriot equally who have always rallied when “their thing” was endangered by tyranny.

Today the sleeping giant of American republicanism still sleeps...But one eye has opened.
