We are always faced with choices.  This coming year may be the greatest choice we have ever faced, maybe as great a choice as the Colonists faced in 1775.
The lead up to the next Presidential election may be as fraught with peril as the lead up to the American Revolution.  The very denial of liberty witnessed by colonials is what drove them to rebellion.  The tyranny inflicted by the British King became too burdensome in the American Colonies.  At that point, rebellion became the necessity.
Thomas Jefferson advised that “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty”.

Are we now at that point where the Progressive Left assaults all institutions and the founding premises of our Constitution.  Daily, we see advocates on the Left espouse ideas which run counter to the Constitution and the very conservative, moderate nature of the country.
As supporters of the Constitution and small government, we must now engage the forces of the Left.
The words of Thomas Paine in “The Crisis No. 1” ring as true today as they did in 1776.

“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”
