I was not, obviously, alive in 1776 when the United States was born. I couldn’t be there when the 2nd Continental Congress was writing the Constitution. I wasn’t part of the Union fighting to free the slaves or the troops who landed on the beaches of Normandy. Nor was I a fireman running into the towers on September 11 or a soldier in Afghanistan routing out the people responsible for it. But I’m here now.
There’s no way I’ll be able to accomplish in my life anything on the scale of greatness achieved by those men. But that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t try. Just because one can’t aspire to be a saint doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t seek to do good works.
We’re just a couple of weeks away from the 20th anniversary of the September 11 attacks that changed the course of our history. America in 2021 is seemingly a universe away from America in 2001. In almost every way, the country is far worse off. Americans are divided like never before. The basic notion of the United States as a positive force in the world, a fundamentally good, if flawed, nation is under attack in our schools on our airwaves and tellingly, in our military. Our borders are nonexistent – unless you’re Cuban – allowing literally millions of people a year to simply walk into our country unfettered. Fundamental tenants of American life, free speech, freedom of religion, private property, and the notion of innocent until proven guilty are evaporating right in front of us.
And then of course there’s Afghanistan. On the international stage we are watching the real time collapse of American prestige, honor, influence and power. Joe Biden and his woke cabal have turned a debatable policy of leaving Afghanistan into a military, humanitarian and political disaster of epic proportions. Somehow, they have figured out how to not only abandon Afghanistan, but do so while providing the Taliban with potentially thousands of American hostages, betraying tens of thousands of Afghans who helped us over the last two decades and provide the enemy with tens of billions of dollars of American military equipment, ammunition and buildings.
In a word, America circa 2021 is in decline. And the pace of her collapse is quickening. Things have been coming apart for a while but started in earnest when the media turned on George Bush after the war in Iraq, picked up steam with Barack Obama and the fiction that opposition equaled racism, and came to a head with the hatred of Donald Trump and reached its peak with the theft of the 2020 election.
As a result of all of this, the United States are not so united. The country is coming apart at the seams and the only way to keep it together is to once again give Americans confidence that their legal votes count, that their voices count and that the man or woman governing the country was legitimately elected. Citizens who feel like their government is corrupt look for extra legal ways to solve problems, they evade taxes and regulations and eventually establish their own shadow forms of government and coercion. (See Mexico just across the nonexistent border) In the simplest form, a nation where the citizens feel like the government is corrupt will find that those citizens don’t obey laws unless there’s a gun pointed at their heads, and in the case of the United States, with a citizenry built on two centuries of freedom and liberty, that is going to take a lot of guns.
Tens of millions of Americans are asking themselves “What can we do about this?” or “What the hell happened?” or “How the hell can we save this country?”
According to the traditional way things have always been done, nothing. We could wait for 2022 and 2024 to go back to the polls and think “Maybe we’ll win!” Don’t count on it. Should we start a revolution or try to overthrow the government? Umm… no. Not only would such an effort be doomed to fail, but that would open a Pandora’s box of chaos from which I doubt we’d emerge as “One nation, under God” or as one nation at all. But by the same token, by doing nothing America is rapidly becoming a fascist state run by tyrants of the far left. So can anything be done? I don’t know, but I’ve got a suggestion.
On the twentieth anniversary of September 11th Americans should take back the date from the terrorists who put it on our calendar. How? By making September 11 stand for something else. Make September 11 the day Americans stood up and demanded their country back, stated that they would not accept their nation being stolen under the cover of night, that they would not accept that America has become a third world dictatorship where social media robber barons and corrupt officials manipulate the voting machines and install their leader of choice. Make September 11, 2021 the modern equivalent of July 4, 1776 and declare that we will not be ruled by unjust leaders with no legitimate right to govern.

The Republic died on Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009 when ALL of our elected AND appointed abrogated the Constitution by swearing in a person born a British subject/Kenyan national who came back to this country from Indonesia as an Indonesian citizen.
Obama is NOT a natural born citizen and they ALL knew it.
Natural born citizen are NATURALLY citizens because they could NOT be anything else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Anyone born with more than ONE nationality is NOT NATURALLY an American.
A very good idea. But the left swooped in right after 9/11, and before we could say prayer rug, muslims were turned into the latest and greatest victim group. They are now moving into the role of controlling masters, thanks to biden.
Jessus Christ! 2nd Continental Congress? What passes for writing today is a total embarrassment.
The Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union was the first constitution of the United States.[13] It was drafted by the Second Continental Congress from mid-1776 through late 1777, and ratification by all 13 states was completed by early 1781.
Posting this was an excellent way to take back our country. The 2nd Amendment will not let them take from a man armed with a keyboard.
