Americans are now a remnant population within our borders. We will need to recreate our own America at some point, peopled by those who love America, freedom, our constitution, culture and our way of life.

As I sat watching the Democrat National Convention last week, a constant thought kept coming to mind:

The Bill of Rights was explicitly designed to protect minorities from the tyranny of the majority.

But what protects the majority from the tyranny of a highly ideological, determined, vocal (and rather tiny, populationwise) minority — who shred and reject the Constitution because it's "inconvenient" to the implementation of their goals?

Will the majority stand up to them, and vote the people who literally hate America and everything she stands for out of the Oval Office and Congress on November 6th?

I wish I felt confident that they will; but I don't.

Very well said, as always, betty.

And I sadly share your lack of confidence that we will enjoy some peace of mind and optimism when November 7th dawns.
