After America

Life after America:

One day, the United States of America will come to an end. Whether by bang or by whimper, whether next year or a millennium hence, whether organically or by the insatiable resentment of the Left's willing slaves, this greatest experiment in the pursuit and preservation of human freedom will cease to exist as a political entity. But when this nation ends, the spirit that birthed it will endure. Whichever totalitarian faction emerges from the dust will try to erase any memory of our civilization, as they're actively trying to do already. All the statues will come down, all the landmarks will be re-named, all the histories will be rewritten, and all free thought will be criminalized. And whatever doddering, senile puppet they prop up as their leader will rant and rave that it's all being done to "save democracy." But they won't be able to erase everything. Books will survive in basements. Stories will be passed from one generation to the next, even if needs be in hushed tones. No matter how far removed people are from their past, the true patriots cannot be removed from their instinctual resistance to tyranny. And the spirit that formed our nation will endure to reemerge elsewhere, like a balloon that expands on one end when the other end is squeezed.

America may someday be gone, but not forgotten...
