E Pluribus Unum, our Nation's motto, printed on our money, and emblazoned on our Great Seal, literally defined us as a Nation; out of many, one. Out of many colonies, many people, many faiths, and many beliefs, we became one nation. Our Nation, the greatest Constitutional Republic this world has ever known, has stood the test of time, and struggle, to take its rightful place at the head of the table amongst the many great nations of this Earth. 

In his letter to Catharine Sawbridge Macaulay Graham, former Commander in Chief of the Continental Army and now the first President of these States United, George Washington wrote about what would be referred to throughout our time and history as America being the "last great experiment." He went on to say:

The establishment of our new Government seemed to be the last great experiment, for promoting human happiness, by reasonable compact, in civil Society. It was to be, in the first instance, in a considerable degree, a government of accomodation as well as a government of Laws. Much was to be done by prudence, much by conciliation, much by firmness. Few, who are not philosophical Spectators, can realise the difficult and delicate part which a man in my situation had to act. 

His letter came roughly one year after the Constitution was ratified and accepted as the official law of the land. The Constitution was by all accounts an imperfect document, however, most agreed at the time that nothing better would come, and Benjamin Franklin spoke to this as well.

I confess that there are several parts of this constitution which I do not at present approve, but I am not sure I shall never approve them...

The debates about the Constitution when it was first introduced three years prior, were fierce and passionate. When modern-day pundits advocate for certain stances or constitutional issues, they always like to reference and or criticize, what the Founding Fathers intended, without ever taking the time to literally read just that. The ratification debates between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists, are some of the best reading any American can do. The Federalist Papers, along with their counterparts in the Anti-Federalist camps, explain in detail what they thought and wanted. 

The great American experiment is one of great success, and failure as well, but we have never stopped trying to perfect the results of it. Our first 100 years, saw one of the greatest expansions in the territory, along with a terrible Civil War that killed hundreds of thousands of people, which resulted in the first great success for liberty, the ending of slavery, and the ratification of the 13th Amendment. The next 100 years saw even more territorial gains, two world wars, technological advances, the ratification of the 19th Amendment, allowing women to vote, and the civil rights movement that ended the "Jim Crow Laws" against Black Americans, ended segregation in schools, and so much more. 

Arguably, the first 200 years were some of our best and worst combined, yet we survived those ups and downs and persevered to where we are today. 245 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, America is alive. But has the American experiment stopped, or has it changed direction? Better yet, has it changed test subjects?

As I wrote last month, our Republic may need some help. Today we see some of our very basic and fundamental human rights attacked and even eroded.

In his 1787 letter to William Stephens Smith, Thomas Jefferson stated, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure." I firmly believe that our Republic is at a crossroads in history. We stand before the world as the most powerful, greatest, respected (or feared), and prosperous nation on this Earth. Or are we?

For the past 40 or more years, the "culture wars" have taken their toll on the soul of the nation. In the past 20, they have heated up well beyond the boiling point, and the people we have trusted to fight back have offered mere lip service to the fight. Now, they are at a point where they are breaking up families and friendships. They are gaslighting anyone who disagrees, branding them as tyrants or worse. 

We have seen a lot over the past 40 ought years as a Republic, that brings into question its health and stability of it. The "Great American Experiment" seems to have taken a very dark and disturbing turn, along with a new test subject; the American youth. The so-called culture wars have gone to a place nobody saw coming because rational adults were in charge and thought, you just don't mess with our kids.  More and more schools and institutions of learning are changing what they are teaching our kids to more of an indoctrination model based on far-left ideology, than what we used to teach them. As explained in great detail below in the video, my esteemed and great friend Chuck Pierce takes a detailed look and dives into what is going on. 

Knowing that the American Experiment is now targeting an impressionable population of children and other youth, and indoctrinating them with agendas and values that are akin to ideologies of Maoist China, Marxism and Leninism, ideologies of gender studies, and the entire radical LGBT community; it is evident that it is causing irreparable harm.

One of the most underrated of our Founding Fathers, Patrick Henry, during his speech at the Second Virginia Convention in 1775, famously said, "Give me liberty or give me death!" People tend to just stop there, giving just that snippet of the elder statesman from Virginia's entire statement. Today, though, we need to be reminded of the entire passage:

Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace-- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! 

To continue in that vein, the next gale that sweeps from the east might bring federal laws that strip any rights parents had for their children’s education! The next gale from the West might bring radical laws that allow schools to hide info about their kids! The next gale from the south could bring more drugs than you could imagine that will poison and kill our youth.

Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!

What Henry was talking about is the threats that come from all around us. 

The current status of the American Experiment can be summed up by admitting that it has taken a course that will ultimately lead to our destruction as a Nation. You can see it all around us, more and more attention is being paid to uplifting an agenda that goes against everything our Founding Fathers wanted. Patrick Henry spoke of Liberty as something to be cherished and ferociously defended and fought for. Thomas Jefferson, in his letter to Stephen Williams Smith, spoke of the possibility of a time when we as a Nation are so corrupted by lies and generations of indoctrination, that we risk the very death of this great Republic. 

The people can not be all, and always, well informed. The part which is wrong will be discontented in proportion to the importance of the facts they misconceive. If they remain quiet under such misconceptions it is a lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.    

I am but a mere student of American and world history, yet I strive to always consult with the Founding Fathers and their rationale and thoughts when it comes to how one goes about keeping this Nation alive and well. I care deeply about this Nation that I once served in uniform, as I am certain of the fact that those of you reading this far feel the same. But I object, in the strongest possible terms, to the new American Experiment. Because I strongly believe that experiment is designed to fail this Nation in order to bring it to its proverbial knees in front of the world. 

It is far past time for the Patriots of this Nation, to rise up and fight for what we all cherish and love. An America that is truly free, with limited and extremely small government, and one that puts Liberty at the forefront of our lives. But we cannot get to that place without sacrifice, dedication, and the knowledge that our Founding Fathers gave to us. So pick up the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers, read and understand them. Don't just cherry-pick a passage that sounds nice, but read the entirety of it.  And most important of all, as Jefferson said in a letter to his daughter, Martha Jefferson Randolph:

determine never to be idle. no person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any. it is wonderful how much may be done, if we are always doing.

Never stop fighting for the Nation we all love, lest we lose it to the sands of time.
