"It does not take a majority to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." ~ Samuel Adams
Most people do not know that the American Revolution was not supported by a majority of the people living in America at the time. If I recall correctly, about 40% of Americans supported the idea of breaking away from England. About 30% of the people supported remaining a part of the British Empire, and about 30% didn’t know about the effort or didn’t care. Actually, less than 20% of Americans fought or actively supported the Revolutionary War effort. And most people don’t know that without the help of France, America would have lost the war.
In 2026, I would say America is in much the same condition as it existed in 1776. About 40% of American patriots are seriously concerned about the future of the United States of America and the republic under the United States Constitution. About 30% of Americans are anti-American Socialist Democrats trying to fundamentally change America into a socialist nation or support the same out of ignorance. And again, about 30% of Americans are unaware of what is happening or don’t give a hoot. Unlike 1776, America today has the added problem of tens of millions of illegal immigrants wondering around the country complicating the issues.
The problem for American patriots is that the anti-American Socialist Democrats and their allies are willing to lie, cheat and steal to win elections (aka any means to an end, very communistic). That, by the way, is breaking the laws of the land, which make them a criminal enterprise. In addition, the anti-American Socialist Democrats own a propaganda machine called the mainstream media to perpetuate their lies and conceal the cheating and stealing. On top of it all, is the discovery of the massive fraud against taxpayers that seems to lead back to anti-American Socialist Democrats’ donors. The level of anti-American Socialist Democrat lawlessness was vividly demonstrated during the Biden/autopen administration.
"If we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom." ~ Samuel Adams
"Neither the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt." ~ Samuel Adams
Adams has accurately described the problem with the anti-American Socialist Democrat Party. The party and their minions in the mainstream media have become universally corrupt.
The lawless anti-American Socialist Democrat Party criminal enterprise waves the United States Constitution while trampling all over it. That is a problem because the anti-American Socialist Democrat Party seeks the protection of the Constitution in spite of their abuse of it.
From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to complacency; From complacency to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage” ~ Tytler Cycle of Democracy
My observation is that America is following the pattern of the Tytler Cycle. Our ancestors broke out of bondage in the1500s while still in Europe. The spiritually faithful developed the courage to leave Europe for the wilds of the North American continent in the 1600s. By the mid-1700s, the Founding Fathers were expanding their courage to include the desire for liberty. Liberty was achieved by the start of the 1800s, and abundance was achieved by the mid-1900s. By the 1970s, abundance started to morph into selfishness, and by the year 2000, selfishness had turned into complacency. By 2010, apathy had replaced complacency. In 2026, at least 40% of Americans and millions of illegal aliens have become dependent on government wealth redistribution.
As I look at my fellow Americans, I see a return to bondage if the anti-America Socialist Democrat Party and their unholy evil cabal of socialist/communists, Islamists, oligarchs, and media ever again achieve control of the White House and both houses of the United States Congress. I hope and pray that America can be the first to break the Tytler Cycle.
"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom." ~ John F. Kennedy

After a 55 year career as a professional pilot in the military, in law enforcement, in the private sector, and in federal civil service, I am now retired.
In many of these positions I repeatedly took an oath to defend the United States Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.
