I hear the Democrats now saying that they are “upholding their oath to the Constitution” and yet, continually saying that we are a “democracy.” We are not a democracy, we are a “republic.”

The Democrats have been trashing our Constitution for years, calling it “an old antiquated document” and it needs to be replaced. Funny how when it’s convenient for their purpose, then it’s OK.

What is even more outrageous is how they are portraying what they want to believe President Trump has done. It’s obvious that they can do that only because it is “they” who have done all of what they are accusing him of doing. They are very familiar with the script and have used it for decades.

The Democrats in Washington DC and even in our State Capital are more concerned about their power and control than they are about the well being of the citizens and this country and they will use any means necessary to hold on to that power and control, even if it tears our country apart.

There is one way, and only one way that this can be rectified and that is if each one of us get informed and get active to become a more responsible citizen. Your freedom, liberty and pursuit of happiness (property) are endowed by our Creator and safeguarded by our Constitution, but that comes with responsibility.

I will finish this by a quote from President Reagan:

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
