OPINION:
Long ago we escaped the tyrants of old to create a republic where we could be free to think and speak as individuals. We created a nation where we could elect a body of people to carry out these ideals and principles of truth and honor. In this land we could own land and homes without government control. We could speak freely without censorship and bear arms to protect ourselves and our families.
But alas, times have changed. We the people shirked our job as caretakers of this constitutional republic and let the tyrants of old enter our halls of justice once more. With a desire to see us lose our freedom and liberty, big government has taken control of our lives. It demands we get vaccines or face losing our jobs, then urges others to ridicule and degrade us if we refuse.
Meanwhile, billions of our tax dollars are being sent to a corrupt country with an unscrupulous leader. We defend that nation’s borders but let millions of illegals cross our own borders. They say Social Security will run out in coming years — is it because we are giving it to illegal aliens while many of our military veterans go homeless, many of our children go hungry and our education system teaches perversion?
Time is running out for the republic I love. If we do not make a stand, I fear all will be lost. We cannot stand idly by and watch our beloved nation fall at the hands of evil men.
