What do we mean by the Revolution? The war? That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The revolution was in the minds of the people.”
What did John Adams mean when he wrote this to Thomas Jefferson in 1815, after both had served as president?
Adams was saying that America, the country that took up arms and fought for its independence from the British, was already a nation — before 1775.
America preexisted the Constitution, Adams is saying. America had been conceived and born before he and Jefferson began to write its Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia in 1776.

History shows that once a country reaches a certain level of success, it takes a turn to the left and starts to fall apart.

You could say that Soros, Zuckerberg, AOC, Obama, etc. all had a hand in this. It's still salvageable but we need the right people in office to do it.

It will take a spiritual revival to turn this state of affairs around. Either the Spirit of ‘76 or the Spirit of God, or both.

Both. This is how the Romans felt as they saw their empire crumbling before to the barbarians. The southern gates to our country are wide open and the barbarians are pouring in.

The problem with a free country is keeping it free. Those who desire power do anything to obtain it, and anything to retain it. They always seek out positions of authority, then attempt to make their appointments, permanent.

Roughly one fourth of the country has reverted to the law of the jungle and the other three fourths have been hamstrung by the laws made by decent people and are not permitted to shoot or hang them or withhold their food. This is not a sustainable situation.

I truly thought that September 11 would wake this country up. But it didn’t and people forgot about it and instead of standing up for America, they started coddling not just terrorists, but all Muslims. And then all criminals, as long as they are part of an approved minority.
If 9/11 didn’t turn the country around, I have no confidence that anything else will. I’m glad that I’m old but I weep for my grandkids.

Simply stated the elites and large tech want to make big money globally so they joined up with the poor, angry and criminals to buy the votes to sell out the USA.

I believe in the people, if only they were being told the truth. Problem is instead the country/world is fed lies and propaganda by those paid by enemies of freedom like China, Soros, Democrat Party etc. The more this conspiracy is exposed the better off the world will be and if permitted (fair elections) the people will make the right choices.

Before leaving office President George Washington pointed out that the republic could not continue without a foundation of Christianity.

First, Buchanan knows we never had a "Democracy".
Second....yes, under the Dems, the country is disintegrating. I think we'd be better off following the division strategy that is part of the plot of Kurt Schlichter's dystopian novel series, such as "Indian Country".
Sad to say that, but I really don't want to be in a position to have leftist lunatics from the looney tunes parts of The Left Coast and the NE coming to our states and wrecking them, too. A border that they couldn't cross would be a plus.

Imagine the Founding Fathers seeing into the future and observing the Biden Administration, from Demento, Doctor Dingbat and Harris at the top, down through, e.g., Susan Rice, Klain, Blinken and yes, Pete Buttigieg.

I watched Ghandi last night. A statement he made in regard to resistance "a day of prayer and fasting". That is what the population of India did, ALL of them. If our government even hints it will be shut down for a day it causes chaos in DC. Imagine if the majority of the population took an entire day off, shutting everything down for a day.
