Now More Than Ever, the Survival of the Constitution Is on the Ballot

"AOC said they want to 'break the electoral map.' They want to break the Constitution too. It's a certainty that they won't waste any time getting to that."

[PJMedia.com] One of the guiding comforts that I have relied upon during my 42 years of conservative political activism is an abiding faith in the strength and durability of the Constitution of the United States. It is a brilliant document, conceived by brilliant men, and it spawned the most brilliant exercise in freedom and government in history. Anytime that the United States was threatened from without or within, I knew that the guiding principles of the Constitution would help the country prevail. A frequent refrain of mine for decades has been, "The Constitution can handle anything." (Image: Unsplash)

I still mostly believe that. However, both globally and domestically, the context that made me comfortable in that belief no longer exists.

Radical Islam (redundant, I know) has been inexorably gaining footholds in the Western countries that it has sworn to destroy in the name of allah. China's influence and power are finally starting to match the gargantuan size of its population. The worst part of the contextual change is that leftists in the United States and many of its ally countries are facilitating the Islamic invasion and the whitewashing of the dangers of Chinese communism.

Back in my "the Constitution can handle anything days," it wasn't under relentless assault from the Democratic Party. There were attacks, to be sure, but they came from the radical fringe of the party. Here in the Year of Our Lord 2026, those in the mainstream Democratic Party establishment are so far left that they make the 20th century Dem radicals look like moderate Republicans.

In Thursday's Morning Briefing I wrote, "AOC said they want to 'break the electoral map.' They want to break the Constitution too. It's a certainty that they won't waste any time getting to that." Almost everything that the Democrats dream big about these days involves either changing the Constitution, or wildly misinterpreting it.

Priority Number 1 for the frothing commies is, as we all know, to disarm the freedom-loving populace by force after they nuke the Second Amendment. More than anything else, that overwhelming desire of theirs telegraphs their endgame. For any newer firearms owners out there who are unfamiliar with how that game is played, here's a heads-up: the gun control Dems swear that they only want to outlaw certain types of guns. Nah, they want those of us who are opposed to them to be completely disarmed... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
