This chapter in American history could be titled, “The Bad Guys Keep Winning Because They Suffer No Consequences for Their Treachery.”
Islamo-fascists and communists have taken over the Democrat Party and threaten to take over the U.S. Congress. Neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton has been brought to justice for conspiring with parts of the Intelligence Community to frame President Trump as a Russian spy. The same Ukrainian and British Intelligence agents who helped orchestrate the first ridiculous impeachment against Trump (ostensibly set in motion because the president asked Volodymyr Zelenskyy why Joe Biden’s son was making tens of thousands of dollars each month as a board member of a Ukrainian energy company) continue trying to instigate an all-out war between the Russian Federation and the United States. The mainstream media and globalist politicians want us all to forget that they used COVID as an excuse to roll out totalitarianism around the planet — justifying widespread censorship, lockdowns, mass surveillance, deadly chemical injections, and the abrogation of God-given rights in the name of “public health.” Our scientific institutions refuse to say clearly that COVID was most likely engineered in a Chinese bio-lab with funding from U.S. taxpayers that Dr. Anthony Fauci had redirected to assist his friends and business associates overseas. Nobody has been prosecuted for any of these crimes, just as nobody was prosecuted when President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder used the ATF to arm Mexican drug cartels, the IRS to target conservatives, and the USA PATRIOT Act to spy on political enemies (including all of the Republican presidential candidates for the 2016 election).
During the Obama and Biden administrations, Christians were prosecuted for being faithful servants of Christ. Parents were put on domestic terror watchlists for objecting to radical infusions of “transgenderism,” pornography, and race-based discrimination in their children’s public school curricula. The Democrat Party nationalized healthcare, used USAID budgets to subvert foreign elections, and redirected trillions of taxpayer dollars into “climate change” slush funds for domestic and foreign political allies. The Obama-Biden regime defamed police officers as inherently racist and disparaged all white Americans as inherently “privileged.” Decades of solid improvement in race relations in the United States were thrown out the window, as Democrats told their voters that white, heterosexual males deserve to be vilified and attacked. For fifteen years, Antifa goons, BLM rioters, Islamic supremacists, and other violent left-wingers have burned down neighborhoods, destroyed churches, looted businesses, terrorized motorists, and harassed, threatened, and murdered ideological adversaries. Instead of reporting on years of leftist domestic terrorism, corporate news talking heads still pretend that President Trump’s MAGA voters are the biggest threat to the United States.
It is easy to list the long train of abuses that have been committed against us and lose hope for the future. Particularly because nobody has been held accountable for any of the serious crimes listed above, a lot of American patriots have begun to wonder whether our country can even be saved. It can be saved. But doing so will require Americans to get their minds right about the struggles ahead.
I often ask American patriots who express premature defeat whether they would give up so easily if this were 1776, rather than 2026. My point is two-fold: First, we are most definitely living through a critical period of American history when, just as was true during the time of our Founding Fathers, the fate of our country rests in our hands. Second, the odds that we shall succeed in saving America today are at least as high as they were two-hundred-fifty years ago.
Sometimes the people who are most proud of America’s past accomplishments are too quick to throw in the towel when it comes to America’s future. But the origin story of the United States is epic because it was so unlikely. The Boston Massacre was in 1770. The Boston Tea Party occurred three years later. By the time the Second Continental Congress declared Independence from Great Britain in ’76, American colonists were still sharply divided over the merits of war. The Revolutionary War continued until ’83. The Articles of Confederation, ratified in ’81, was superseded by ’89. When the Founders drafted the U.S. Constitution, they effectively tabled the peculiar institution of slavery, knowing that the issue would collapse the Union. During the 1790s, the heavily indebted United States endured severe economic troubles, and many members of Great Britain’s Parliament expected to reacquire their former colonies just as soon as interstate squabbles and economic calamity doomed the young nation. When the British captured and burned much of Washington, D.C., in 1814, they nearly succeeded.
When Sam Adams and the Sons of Liberty began meeting at the Green Dragon Tavern in 1765, do you think they knew it would take fifty more years to secure America’s Independence for posterity? Do you think John Hancock, Paul Revere, or any of the Bostonians who met around the “Liberty Tree” would have cared? Their preserved correspondence to other patriots throughout the colonies reveals two things above all else: (1) They knew that they were the underdogs, and (2) they relished the fight. They leaned into their political and moral principles. They defended their convictions. They embraced righteous indignation. “[W]ith a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence,” the signers of the Declaration of Independence “mutually pledge[d] to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”
Those extraordinary men risked absolutely everything to go up against the greatest empire in the world. Few outside of the American colonies believed they would prevail. A healthy contingent of British elites predicted that the colonies-turned-states would fight among themselves and dissolve the Union within a short number of years. Some Americans with Loyalist sympathies continued to expect a return of British rule until the conclusion of the War of 1812 seemed to finally put the matter to bed.
I do not expect today’s American patriots to become Nathan Hale, Patrick Henry, Caesar Rodney, or John Paul Jones. I do not expect Americans to step into the shoes of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or Benjamin Franklin. But I do expect Americans to respect their country’s past enough to remain confident, steady, and determined as we fight the battles to come. Because, frankly, the threats we face today pale by comparison to the threats that our ancestors were able to overcome. What one man can do, another can do. What one generation can accomplish, so can the next.
We humans have this psychological “glitch” when it comes to being the “underdog.” When we feel that the challenge before us is almost too great to be met, some of us become even more committed to prevailing. Once we’ve won, however, we begin to take our victories for granted. We start to assume that things were always meant to turn out the way they did. Yet, strangely, the first sign of trouble weakens our resolve. As soon as some other scrappy opponent starts banging down our door, we begin to worry that everything will be lost. We forget that we used to be the ones banging down doors.
What I would like to remind my friends is that we American patriots have an advantage that this militant generation of communists and Islamo-fascists will never have: This is our country, and there are tens of millions of us who will never allow enemies of freedom to conquer it. I don’t care how many “black-pill” pessimists scream, “The end is nigh.” They are wrong.
Our enemies took over the universities. They took over the Deep State. They see total victory within their sights. But they’ve never seen American patriots actually fight.
We are not sheep for the wolves to devour. We are the hunters who scare the wolves away.
