\u201cThe time is now near at hand which most probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or
\nslaves: whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their houses or farms are
\nto be pillaged and destroyed, and themselves consigned to a state of wretchedness from which no
\nhuman effort will deliver them. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the courage
\nand conduct of the people. Our cruel and unrelenting enemy leaves us only the choice of brave
\nresistance, or the most abject submission. We here, therefore, do resolve to conquer or die.\u201d<\/em> <\/p>\n

George Washington\u2019s address to the Continental Army before the battle of Long Island.
\n~ Tuesday, August 27th, 1776<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

A few months ago in an issue of this very same newspaper, in an editorial containing the editor\u2019s
\nrecommendations relative to the 2020 elections, it was stated that I was a rabid Trump supporter and
\ntherefore unworthy of your votes. No mention of my six profoundly successful years in the house of
\nRepresentatives, or the possibility that if elected, I could very well have been selected to chair the
\nMunicipal and County Government Committee, or the fact that during my six years I had more bills, of
\nwhich I was the prime sponsor, passed into law than the entire complement of Democratic legislators
\nfrom Carroll County during the same time span. <\/p>\n

You now have a President who is a mental invalid, so much so that he is incapable of putting two
\nsentences together to form a coherent thought. It took some 50 days of coaching and practice to get him
\nto stand in front of a camera to give a presidential press conference. Even at that, most say he still made a fool of himself. Remember what I wrote about the twenty-fifth amendment coming into play … It\u2019s
\ngetting closer!<\/p>\n

When it does finally happen what will we be stuck with for the remainder of the three plus years? In the
\nthoughts of many, an unscrupulous, unethical, unprincipled woman of questionable morals, whose
\nfather was a die-hard communist and she fits squarely in the same mold. I ask, how did she get her high
\npaying, high profile, jobs and promotions? Not through hard work, most will tell you. But then again,
\nyou were all aware of who and what she is all along, that\u2019s why she received only one vote out of more
\nthan one thousand in the 2020 Conway primary election. And now she is on tap to be your President.
\nFeeling guilty yet?<\/p>\n

What has the administration accomplished so far? The answer, nothing. The southern border is in crisis,
\nwith absolutely nothing being done to fix the problems! Why, the mentally disabled individual now in
\nthe White House put the communist Vice President, soon to be President, in charge! Drugs and human
\ntrafficking are at an all-time high. Tens of thousands of illegal aliens cross the border freely bringing with them an untold number of active COVID virus cases, threatening the very lives of American citizens. Tens of thousands of jobs are being lost to illegals willing to work for much less. Deportation of even violent illegal criminals including rapists and murderers has been officially disallowed. <\/p>\n

Who is paying for the free medical care promised to all illegal aliens? Hundreds of thousands of illegals
\nwith every disease known to man flooding our southern border for free medical care at your expense.<\/p>\n

Think about this, what if the Chinese, with all that has been surmised relative to payoffs to the Bidens,
\nhave enough proof to put him and most of his family in prison for the remainder of their lives. To keep
\n\u200bthat from happening Biden would have no alternative other than to bow down to everything the Chinese
\nCommunist government wants, irrespective of the unwanted effects it might have on America, or our
\neconomy. Any other person in America under similar circumstance wouldn\u2019t even be allowed a security
\nclearance. But he\u2019s the President! <\/p>\n

He is attempting to do away with the senate filibuster, requiring sixty votes to pass most legislation. He
\nwill pack the Supreme Court, making it an arm of the Legislature. Look into the totally unconstitutional
\nbill recently passed in the House relative to taking all jurisdiction, relative to voting, away from the
\nstates. The socialists are after power. Once they have it, the country is gone, never to rise again short of civil war. I pray to God it doesn\u2019t come to that, but the chances of that not happening are getting slimmer every day. Why else do you think they are hell bent to abolish the second amendment!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
