Cicero Saw Clearly

Everything about this post is short. Something simple should not require a great deal of words.

The enemy outside the gates are far less to be feared.

That is the shortened version of Cicero’s famous observation. I have begun to see it as eventually universally true. Certainly in light of Fran’s latest screeds noting past evils arising from all forms of government.

Our enemy, the Progs, in truth the regressives — the ones aiming to supplant our constitutional republic with an oligarchic Neo-aristocracy — is on the verge of owning the super-power Americans built. The questions I have for Americans:

• Does a significant number see as clearly as did Marcus Tullius Cicero yet?
• Do they feel obligated to show gratitude to our forebears by responding as they did?
• Do they have the courage, or at least the sense not to wait until there is nothing left to lose?

I cannot answer for them. Let me just say that I’ve faith that it is never too late. Not even for an ailing octogenarian like me. I love this country and what is has done to improve life in a very short span of time. I thank God that He had a role in its founding and success.

I hope Fran grants the concise version above a berth in Liberty’s Torch Life Is Short Codex. If for no other reason than our enemy intends to shorten the lives of any red-blooded Americans they can. Certainly the Death Cult knows them to be their greatest obstacle.
