Conservatives must save our country

Conservatives must save our country

To the Editor:

Three hundred Spartans. The battle of Thermopylae, fought between the Greeks and the Persians in 480 B.C., has gone down in history as one of the most significant last stands of all time. 

During the last two full days of battle, 300 Spartans blocked the only road by which the massive Persian army could traverse a narrow pass, providing the bulk of the Greek army time to safely retreat. Despite the fact the “heroes,” the Greek army, walked away from this battle defeated and on the brink of complete destruction, 300 Spartans, unwilling to give up, gave the Greek forces time to reorganize. 

Although the Persian Empire was at the peak of its strength, the collective defense then mounted by the Greeks overcame seemingly impossible odds and even succeeded in liberating Greek city-states on the fringe of Persia itself. The Greek triumph ensured the survival of Greek culture and political structures long after the demise of the Persian Empire. 

Fast forward to 2022 A.D. and the United States of America finds itself in what will become the most famous battle of our time. The battle to save our constitutional republic, being fought between constitutional conservative Republicans and the anti-constitutional socialist Democratic Party, with their Rhino Republican allies, will go down in American history as one of the most significant American political battles of all time. The socialist Democratic Party is at the peak of its strength via their domination of the Congress and Executive branch and are destroying our country through fraud, corruption, dishonesty and deception. 

However, the collective defense being mounted by the Convention of States Action movement, national and state election integrity teams, and constitutional conservative Republicans can — and will — overcome what at times seem impossible odds. Together we will succeed in liberating the American citizens from the tyranny being imposed upon us by the current illegal regime. 

Our eventual triumph will ensure the survival of our constitutional republic and the political structure as envisioned by our Founding Fathers long after the demise of the socialist’s Democratic Party. Like the 300 Spartans, we must stand together strong, fearless, and determined not to give an inch to their radical agenda. Time and history will document our success and victory.
