Our problem is the communists.
On a side note, I was astonished, while my wife and I were visiting Marblehead, MA, it had its Town Hall open for people to walk through. We went into the large Selectman’s Room, and there was...”The Spirit of ‘76” painting!
Not a copy-of which there are millions, but the honest to goodness original. I couldn’t believe how big it was...it is eight feet tall, and 12 feet wide!
I was astonished, because I did not know that the original was in the Marblehead Town Hall, and doubly so at how big it was!

It’s hard to dethrone the well-paid, mini kings and queens in BIG GOV.
THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated...
The Spirit of 1776
Never underestimate ordinary people determined to advance a cause.
Genesis 1
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good
ויּאמר אלהים יהי אור ויהי־אור׃ ויּרא אלהים את־האור כּי־ טוב

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
ויּרא אלהים את־האור כּי־ טוב ויּבדּל אלהים בּין האור וּבין החשׁך׃
