This republic has changed dramatically in recent years -- politically, morally, and, perhaps most significantly, demographically.
Section 15 of the Virginia Declaration of Rights (a precursor to The Declaration of Independence) that was adopted by the Virginia Constitutional Convention on June 12, 1776, states: “That no free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue and by frequent recurrence to fundamental principles.”
Does that appear to be the case today?
Let’s go item by item. Clearly, many of us are not firmly adhered to justice. Those on The Left routinely take the side of arsonists, thieves, rapists and even murderers as opposed to law enforcement … or those who have been the victims of arsonists, thieves, rapists and even murderers.
Moreover, a two-tiered system of justice has taken hold nationally, in which members of certain groups are deliberately treated differently than others.
Moderation? There’s a cannabis dispensary on every street corner, liquor stores are open on Sundays, fentanyl kills scores of thousands annually, some states hand out free crack pipes, gambling is systemic and ubiquitous, most of us cannot stop looking at our smart phones, and many more are addicted to video games and/or porn.
Next up is frugality. O.K., I can’t even write the word with a straight face. The U.S. is nearing 40-trillion dollars in debt and spends substantial sums of money on things like an Iraqi version of Sesame Street. On an individual level, most of us are determined to get that new Apple iPhone or big screen television whether we need — or can afford — it or not.
On to virtue. See the aforementioned for starters. There is entirely too much virtue-signaling and not nearly enough actual virtue

The left seems intent on fracturing the country and destroying anything of beauty.
It appears God is handing us over to the sodomites because of our sins. 😔 Christians should have an exit strategy
So does this mean that the anal sphincter approach to conflict resolution works after all?
We are transitioning into an Empire.
The question is whether we will end up becoming more like Russia or China.
If we're lucky, we'll end up like Rome.
I doubt it though. The Romans did not have to deal with Communists or Islamists.
Although Rome had to deal with the Barbarians.
Pinochete’s Chile.
“Although Rome had to deal with the Barbarians.”
Ours are already inside the gates.

Fine.
Past time to fight back.
Read up on what Father Chad Ripperger (an exorcist) says about this.
Or listen on YouTube.
>> It’s pretty much over. The Republic is now dead.
Not dead; very much alive, but at the brink.
One thing the red-green coalition has not yet attempted to do: seize the firearms of the law-abiding citizens.
When they get around to trying — and they will, eventually — there is a choice to be made. Hand ‘em over, or fight to the death to keep them. It will be an individual choice. The life or death of the Republic will depend on who and how many choose to fight.
>> Christians should have an exit strategy
“I know Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I’ve committed unto Him against that Day.”
I believe the leftist waves will always eventually crash on the shores of reality. But they sure are a pain in the buttocks.

No, the left loons are being hoisted by their own retard.
Elizabeth Warren describes Nurse Pretti, with video.
What he says about what? He has 200 you tube episodes
Parasites devour the host.
Its not the left, its not the Democrats we need to face reality its the marxist/communists. They are trying to destroy our way of life and our system of government. Then they will take our religion. Its time to face the facts. Basically we either defeat them or they are going to defeat us.
“I believe the leftist waves will always eventually crash on the shores of reality. But they sure are a pain in the buttocks.”
How dare you dash the joy of who hoo we’re gonna decline like the Roman Empire fest I’ve been slammed with for 30 years
Of course they’re crashing. Their money sources are dried up. The cheating is done- there was police tape around the voting center in Fulton county today - of course there’s evidence, we’ve seen Fani she’s not THAT smart, the immense fed money fraud has been detected by the masses, people are seeing how the left operates and are bored with it, this obstruction of ice has decreased the country’s support of deporting all illegals by 0% and that’s even in NY where it is well over 50 %, President Trump just took over LA re building after the fires. Newsom is fired off that detail,
The left is reduced to screaming for Trump’s failure and the attacks on MAGA
What are they winning?
Trump is going to go out and drag the Trump hating GOP Congress over the finish line despite their burning desire to get back into the minority and enjoy their favorite pastime- watching Trump impeachment. Popcorn, cardigan, Bulleit Bourbon. Take in the dough. No work. Stay out of trouble
And he’ll do it too.
But the left is impotent against MAGA.
Why did the GOP put up a joke candidate in the VA governor's race?
The only real question here is which pundits and podcasters are real MAGA, and which are infiltrators, planted as sleeper cells.
Doesn’t really matter though, because Americans are quickly learning to trust their instincts and stop following the Candace Owenses, the Ben Shapiros and the Mark Levins of the world.
MAGA is like our Constitution. It’s made of ideas. Principles, not personalities.
