We seem on the verge of losing it — not from foreign invasion, not from revolution, but because we stopped caring about it.
Ben Franklin famously said, "You've got a republic, if you can keep it." That warning is particularly haunting now, because we seem on the verge of losing it — not from foreign invasion, not from revolution, but because we stopped caring about it.
America was founded on the principles of individual liberty and equal treatment under the law. These are the foundational principles required for equality and prosperity. Yet we've been creeping away from those principles for many years. In the last 12 years, that creep has become a sprint. The world's beacon of freedom is dying, and we're acting as if trading liberty for "safe spaces" is a great deal.
The press has become the propaganda ministry. These people no longer report the news. Instead, they craft narratives. Many of those narratives seem designed to create civil unrest — playing Americans against one another. Apparently, hatred and riots are good for ratings. Consumers of this "news" no longer have an accurate picture of what's happening in politics or society. They're simply pawns playing their parts in the script.
Our schools have become little more than re-education camps. They're no longer preparing our children for adult life. Math, science, and reading have taken a back seat to Critical Race Theory and intersectionality indoctrination — and our children's test scores show it. Schools don't teach critical thinking or value differing views. They're demanding conformity with their chosen ideology. The generation that is just now approaching adulthood, doesn't understand the importance of individual liberties and doesn't seem to care.
Our Legislative Branch has stopped debating. Speaker Pelosi would rather tear up speeches than have an open discussion

China will own America within 20 to 30 years. Democrats afraid of russia? lol. China will easily take over America and do it so it’s unnoticed until it’s done.
>>> LOL...Americans won’t even take off their masks.
Wow!... did you just hit the nail on the head or what???
I couldn’t agree more.
Still can’t figure out how separation of church and state became gospel when it was written in a personal letter by Thomas Jefferson probably after having a few bottles of whiskey. And worse why we take it as gospel?????
It’s far more likely CW2 is over than just starting. If there was going to be shooting it would have happened long ago, IMO. This country is too fat, dumb and gynocentric to ever get out of this mess. We’re slouching towards Gomorrah and there is no turning back now.
It’s hard for me to imagine any prior civil upheaval taking place if they had our amazing societal conditions, like the poorest being the most likely to be obese. I suspect any enormity will be tolerated as long as people are the fattest, most passively entertained and comfortable in all of history as it happens.
Freegards
When is the public going to be told that Biden’s EOs are not law and need to be ignored?
In the history of the world, have a bunch of fat entitled people ever shot each other? With exception to an extend minority on both sides I don’t believe this modern American population has the physically capability nor the guts to engage in any sort of armed conflict.
First time for everything I guess. I’m sure that others in their time had the same type of mindset.
We can’t even organize to do such a thing.
It is not allowed.
Again, I will say, 01/06/2021 was an unarmed mistake.
Our democratic republic is becoming a banana republic before our eyes:
While popular "wisdom" is doom-and-gloom porn (with lots of "fans" posting on this very thread), a Mighty Rescue is on the way for the Can-Do People, from a direction no one expects because big religion is as useless, dysfunctional, deceptive, and hopeless as big government and consensus punditry.
Your surprise is waiting!
Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
2 And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord GOD, thou knowest.
4 Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.
5 Thus saith the Lord GOD unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:
6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.
8 And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.
9 Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
11 Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 And ye shall know that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves,
14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken it, and performed it, saith the LORD.
While Earth wallows in pity and paralysis, on Mars a natural-born American citizen named Percy (Perseverance) gave birth to a daughter named Ginny (Ingenuity). She even took to the skies on her 16th birthday. The image of her new drivers license was even published for all to see.
And what day was that? Patriot's Day, occurring on the same date as the original event that it commemorates.
April 19th. Because the REVOLUTION Happens Here.
It's literal, but who's looking up?
"NASA" is the little name with the big "tell" to indicate who's been in charge the whole time. He's got MOXIE. Accept no substitutes.
Everybody is going to learn to respect the Boss.
Here's the last word in the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible order of the books. It was written and spoken by King Cyrus, the king famous for his cylinder and for being known as the "Gentile" Messiah:
2 Chr 36
22. And in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, so that the word of the Lord spoken by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, the Lord stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, and he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying:
23. Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, All the kingdoms of the earth has the Lord God of heaven given me; and he has charged me to build him a house in JerUSAlem, which is in Judah*; Whoever is among you of all his people, the Lord his God be with him, and let him go up:
*In Judah. That would be all the DAVID Seeds, "An American Original."
SHTF, at 2537 rpm. You heard it here first.
Turn turn turn, for a total reset of the mind, heart, and spirit. Otherwise known as being born again.
Business as usual only knows the recipe for collapse. It's bread baked with dead leaven.
Job did a good job because he remained on the sunny side.
There is a brief mention of an Article V Convention in this article.
No. We will not keep the republic.
It is too late to salvage it and only a few people are old enough to understand its value.
We might be better off without it at this point.
Its been a long downhill slide. The Founders knew it was going to happen in spite of the best design they could create. That is why they put in Article V . The enemy just stole a landslide election from a man that was turning the tide. The lies and their endless hate was not enough, they had to CHEAT to win. They crossed the Rubicon . We have nothing left to lose now. It’s them or us and Article V is our last best hope.
Aye.
They may not be fat too much longer.
China has many of our meat processing plants,
Gates and Bezos have the farm land and will dictate what can be grown and what goes where.
America was sold off in bits and pieces, we just didn’t notice.
That’s my opinion.
Heck, we don’t make much of what we need in this country.
LIKE!
What do you expect fro the SCOTUS CCW case?
Stupid & irrelevant question!
Any intelligent person would have asked:
"Why Didn't We Keep Our Republic?"

Nicely said Nateman.
So many posters to this thread lament the loss of our republic yet will more than likely keep on voting as if it matters.
Meanwhile, an uncorrupted and unused Article V is right in front of our noses.
