In fact, I have to write more. Not one of us can afford to allow our resolve to slip. We are still the most powerful nation in history. There are still people willing to fight. Even to preserve the rights of the sheeple to continue in apathy.
No other country can defeat us. We can only end our rise by allowing it from inside. Inside the population, inside ourselves. We can only avoid it by continuing to care. By speaking/standing up when it is appropriate. Look around, sure it is depressing that we have to look so hard, but there are others that will stand. Even when we can't see them, we MUST continue to believe they are there.
Don't lose heart, there are still young ones that know and understand the old ways. I have two boys currently serving in the USMC. Consequently I've met several of their peers and officers. Any of us would be proud to have them represent us anywhere on the planet under any conditions. Battle or visit.
My daughter and her husband work for the local PD. Most officers understand what they are really fighting for.
It is not our job to perserve the values in the constitution forever. Ours is only to ensure they are passed along to the next generation. Hopefully in better shape than when we accepted them from our parents, but the first responsibility is to pass them along.
