Inauguration Day

On this momentous day – Inauguration Day following a fraudulent election – most Americans remain oblivious to what is happening. The number of citizens who appreciate the gravity of the nation's predicament at this crossroad is staggering... but not surprising. In most revolutions, it is the two percent that have assessed the situation properly and take the risks that avert the rest from going over a precipice. The same is true on this day. A very small minority of patriots realize what is at stake if we do not act decisively today.

Most of the public is content to be oblivious and maintain the status quo, come what may. Some may truly be called cowards, but most are simply ignorant or do not have the constitution to act in the face of dire circumstances. In such times, the heroes step forward. Not every one has what it takes to be a hero.

General George Washington knew in his time that most of the public was asleep during the Revolutionary War. He knew full well that there were just a few individuals that understood what was really going on. This is what he said: “The reflection upon my situation and that of this army produces many an uneasy hour, when all around me are rapt in sleep. Few people know the predicament we are in.”

Most people in the country, even Trump supporters, do not fully understand the predicament we are in. In time, we will sing songs about and erect statues to the gallant men and women who put their lives on the line to overthrow the weight of tyranny that looms should we not act. Thank God there are men and women who put justice and integrity above personal gain. They are heroes, heroes all.
