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

Well, we already have the overwhelming percentage of guns so that’s not the worry.
That’s not a name. We’re done here
You don’t get it.
Feminism and creating a matriarchial society requires that traditional western civilization based on reason, logic and Christian values be destroyed and replaced. Males, especially white males, are being cancelled by discrimination in the workplace and in society.
We are still in the destructive phase. The last bastion of civilization, the nuclear family, will be the last domino to fall.
It won’t be long now.
Hard Times Make Good Men
Good Men Make Good Times
Good Times Make Weak Men <-—— You are here!
Weak Men Make Hard Times
The invention of the artificial womb is surely under development. That invention will be the end of the nuclear family.

This is a misstatement of the Premise.
And the Premise was, the Deep State will keep the mutts busy and sated so they can be kept down. It wasn't 30 years ago, a crackhead could pick up a free crack pipe from an 'urban center' 501(c)(3), BUT probably be arrested 2 blocks over and actually be retained by the System and shipped off after 3 Strikes.
Soros correctly identified this as a weak point and flooded money to marxist Prosecutors/DAs and the enabling upstream legislation in Blue states where the mutts are explicitly now our problem, along with illegals.
Government of the Swamp, by the Swamp, for the Swamp needs to perish from this earth.
All it takes is Government of the People, by the People,for the People to replace it.
The hope that Government of the People, by the People, for the People wouldn’t perish from the earth wasn’t realized.
It perished in one sense. But it can be resurrected.
It would help to have a mandate from the People to obliterate and drain the Govt of the Swap, by the Swamp, for the Swamp.
Luckily, we have some of the People giving that mandate to the Oval Office occupant in 2024.
Good timing.

What a bunch of wet noodles here at free republic.
The GOP frequently puts up joke candidates
Romney and almost anyone in NYS or Californication
I am not poo-pooing your comment. I'd just like to point out that the Bolsheviks, NAZIs, Maoists, and a whole sundry of other leftist revolutionaries where dismissed a fringe kooks that would "eventually crash on the shores of reality".
I have a problem with people using Jews for their own personal politics.
Stop using Jews for your own purposes.
My advice to you is to love Jews as I do. I love them as myself. In fact, for all you know I might be a full blooded Jew myself.
This is becoming less and less true.
Sure, maybe the old white Boomer libtards who listen to NPR don't own so many firearms but the angry young communist insurgents are increasingly buying them.
And unlike our side, they're far less hesitant to use them.
I believe that Christians DO have an exit strategy; WhEN & not IF it comes to that. The Bible tells us it WILL come to that.
