How has America lost its way; how have we as Americans lost our way? When in our callow arrogance have thoughts of socialism become so popular--and without its deserved horror? What a victory for our enemies and our foreign "friends"! What a triumph for those who hold monarchical and dictatorial views so precious! The ideals of our beautiful republic have been lost to us, remembered only by ghostly echoes of past founding patriots. Will history look upon us as fools whose ineptitude has left our children in the hands of tyrants and emperors? I say a spark has been lit, a truth has been heard, a great awakening has occurred. The question that lingers to those in a slumber: is LIBERTY in your souls, FAITH in your hearts, and PERSEVERANCE in your DNA?

“And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure if we have lost the only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?”
--Thomas Jefferson
