America is at a very dark and dangerous crossroads, and the path we choose will determine the very future of this nation. Over the past decades, we have seen one “victim class” after another become the tyrants who will tell us what to think, what to say, and how we must spend our money.

All the while, allowing no criticism, no questions, no discussion.
These groups tell us the hopes and dreams of two hundred years of Americans have all been wrong.
They tell us there never were dreams of a better world, a better life for all people, a better future.
But this dream, this America, has always been all these things, that the vision of a better world for all was what was and still must be what drives us on, no matter the difficulty or the dark forces arrayed against us.
Bonhoeffer, seeing the rise of tyranny in Germany in the 1930s, said it very well, “evil has strode upon the world stage and taken off its mask”.
Evil, by all its other names, has taken off its mask, and that is what this last election was about; America’s flirtation with evil has been shown for what it is, and change is surely coming.
The road we now stand on breaks only two ways; one, down to the darkness of tyranny where freedom and personal liberty are but forgotten memories; the other up into the God-given sunshine of truth, justice, and liberty.
As Mr. Churchill said during Britain’s darkest hour in WW2, “and if our cause shall prevail, and the British Empire last for a thousand years, men will still say “this was their finest hour.”
As America faces perhaps her darkest hour, will this party remind America, when so many know so little of our history, that our America was, is, and always will be a dream to be lived for, fought for, that all men might be free.
