I think every American who comes across this article should read the whole thing. It’s not long, and any reasonable person with a high school education will see he’s talking nonsense.

Here are a few choice quotes and responses

Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence and hence our form of government

Our form of government’s most basic premise is that it changes if people vote to change it. They can literally change everything about it.

A spirit of “cynicism, rejection, hostility and animus” toward America – by Americans – has taken hold, Thomas said in remarks carried live on CSPAN.

The founding fathers literally started a war of rebellion against their government. That’s what that Declaration of Independence that Thomas mentioned was all about.

He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans – a trend perpetrated, he argued, by “intellectuals” and the nation’s colleges and universities.

Those values aren’t “enshrined”. They’re not even backed by the laws that our founding fathers ratified.

Thomas called on Americans to stand up for their principles and endure personal “sacrifices,” if necessary, to preserve the nation’s democracy.

“In my view, we must find in ourselves that same level of courage that the signers of the Declaration have so that we can do for our future what they did for theirs,” he said.

Those people, with that document, started a war of rebellion against their government. They were willing to sacrifice their lives to rid themselves of tyranny. How can Thomas reference this and come to the exact opposite conclusion?

And to “preserve our democracy” can only mean one thing. To ensure that the will of the people becomes the law of the land without violating the Constitution or the rights given by it.

Anyone who wants to preserve our democracy has to be viciously opposed to Donald Trump, who’s been trying to oppose the will of the American people and the Constitution.
