The cast of characters may change over time, but the challenges to liberty are always the same.
In Russia they poison their political enemies.
In China, they just disappear.
That is what happens in Communist countries. In countries with dictators and kings.
But now, Obama and Joe Biden, and people like them, have decided to try a similar approach by using the courts and the government bureaucracy to persecute their enemies.
They so hate this country that using their power to destroy their opponents is all they know how to do.
Our country has a rich history of patriots who have stepped forward to defend liberty, heedless of the personal danger involved.
Nathan Hale proudly said, “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country,” before being hanged for spying on British troops during the American Revolution.
In 1770, John Adams put himself and his family at risk by providing legal representation to the nine British soldiers, accused of murder during the Boston Massacre.
He did it because it was the right legal thing to do.
At the signing of the Declaration of Independence, Benjamin Franklin, aware of the risk he and the signers were taking, said “We must, indeed, all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”
And then there's Donald Trump.
What was done to Donald Trump yesterday by Soros-supported district attorney Alvin Bragg, was a warning, not just to Trump, but to all of us.
And everybody knows it.
Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich summed it up this way.
“These weaponized, uncontrolled, corrupt prosecutors are going to destroy our democracy, steal our freedoms and take from us our right to choose our own leaders and elections.”
Blago should know. They did the same thing to him.
Last evening, Trump said he will not take a settlement, although if he did, he could end all of this right now.
Part of the settlement would doubtlessly include dropping out of the presidential race. And Trump won’t do it.
This morning, a talk show host, safe behind his microphone, and able to comment because of the patriots who have fought and died for his First Amendment rights, commented on the indictment of Donald Trump.
He made it clear that he wasn’t necessarily defending Donald Trump.
The question is “Why not?”
Like the patriots who have come before, Trump has done what is good for the country, and has been ruthlessly persecuted for not playing ball with the likes of Biden, Clinton, Bush and the denizens of the Deep State.
And yet, he is undeterred, and has said many times:
“We will not break. We will not yield. We will never give in. We will never give up. We will never, ever, ever back down.
“As long as we are confident and united, the tyrants we are fighting do not stand a chance.
“Because we are Americans, and Americans kneel to God and God alone.”
Note that Trump always says "We." He's the one standing in "their" way. So I think it's time for Americans to ask themselves, “What kind of a patriot am I?”
For, there's no doubt, these are the times that try men's souls.
Hold the line, America.
Have a blessed Easter and Passover.
Stay strong, Patriots.
