Our Nation Is In Peril – Are We Without Defenders?

“Our Nation is in deep peril. We are in a fight for our survival as a Constitutional Republic like no other time since our founding in 1776. The conflict is between supporters of Socialism and Marxism vs. supporters of Constitutional freedom and liberty.”

Those are the first lines of an open letter just published and reported on in The Federalist. The letter was signed by more than 120 retired U.S. flag rank officers.

The text continues in part:

“The current Administration has launched a full-blown assault on our Constitutional rights in a dictatorial manner, bypassing the Congress, with more than 50 Executive Orders quickly signed, many reversing the previous Administration’s effective policies and regulations. Moreover, population control actions such as excessive lockdowns, school and business closures, and most alarming, censorship of written and verbal expression are all direct assaults on our fundamental rights. We must support and hold accountable politicians who will act to counter Socialism, Marxism, and Progressivism, support our Constitutional Republic, and insist on fiscally responsible governing while focusing on all Americans, especially the middle class, not special interest or extremist groups which are used to divide us into warring factions.”

“Under a Democrat Congress and the Current Administration, our Country has taken a hard left turn toward Socialism and a Marxist form of tyrannical government.”

“The survival of our Nation and its cherished freedoms, liberty, and historic values are at stake,” they wrote.

As bad as all that is, though, that is not the worst of what is happening. At the heart of the letters in France and in the United States is the recognition that the real problem lies with the lack of an effective response to this. A nation that has withstood multiple attacks by determined adversaries from both within and without in its history now finds itself without defenders.

We are bullied. We are oppressed. We are stripped of our rights and those we elected to represent us and protect us stand idly by. We search in vain for those with the courage and the commitment to stand up, do their jobs and step into the breach.
