I, like many, took an oath of office. I’ve never unoathed, and thus feel compelled to comment on what is going on in our government. Five years of my Air Force career were spent in various assignments in Washington, including the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Air Staff and Military Assistant to a Department Assistant Secretary of the Air Force. I’m a citizen dedicated to our country, not a Democrat or Republican.

“… And to the republic for which it stands.”

A republic protects its citizens’ inalienable rights. Rights bestowed on all human beings that should not be taken away by anyone.

A democracy gives its citizens majority rule. If the majority so chooses, it can require citizens to surrender their rights.

Once in power those advocating majority rule will do anything to stay in power, to be the single ruler, single as in one, mono, monarchy. Open boarders, loan forgiveness, free college, free money and free medical coverage are the bait used to attract, i.e., buy a voter in order to build a majority. The more dependent a voter is on the government, the more likely they will be to continue that government. But they’ll only be or get as good as the government decides. The consequence to taking the bait is giving up your inalienable rights.

The eight-year plan for a monarchy failed in my opinion, when the “rightful heir” was defeated. H.R. Clinton won the majority, but the safeguards of our republic gives equal weight to all of our states’ defined voting neighborhoods and prevents a few densely pack ones from taking power by majority rule. After all, we are a United States.

Furious in defeat, the pro-monarchy first attacked our Constitution as unfair and the majority should rule. Then they chose a strategy of disruption, negativity and deception against the system of government set forth in the Constitution. They created hateful division, blamed everyone else and now portray themselves as the healers. The personality of the current president fueled some of the division, but he did not create the fires.

It is time for our Congress’ upper chamber to drop the biggest gavel in history, reaffirm the authority of the president to act in the best interests of our republic, with accountability, but not subject to the intimidation, bad faith investigations and uncooperative opposition to every effort to advance our republic. God bless the United States of America.
