We have not kept it.
It’s slip sliding away every single day.
Republic, we currently don’t live in a Republic.
We live in an Insane Asylum.
So far, those that love America and God have lost every single battle against those that hate America and God.
It’s not looking good.
Too late Limbaugh.
Not likely.
We the people don’t have any representation.
The Democrats are representing the illegal aliens.
The Republicans are representing their employers.
No one is representing the citizens.
While I would certainly prefer to say YES..., I suspect that I will be wrong given any review of recorded human history!
As a 50-state entity?
No.
It will require watering that tree of liberty. Voting is not going to do it.
It takes two to tango here. The aforementioned fascists are elected by an unvirtuous or Constitutionally ignorant electorate. The combination of that electorate and those fascists are our undoing - a powerful combo.
Been gone a very long time.......17th amendment
Too busy. Too lazy. Not really that interested.
American conservatives just don't have what it takes to save this Nation. They can rise only to the blogging level.
America has NOT BEEN a Republic for the longest time...
It has become a democracy... i.e. Mob Rule by mobsters..
THATS where the Coup d’etat happened..
In the Civil War the South was fighting for State Rights..
The North was fight AGAINST State Rights.. still is..
American History has been totally re-arraigned.. Perverted..
AND NOBODY CARES..... democracy IS the political disease that breeds socialism..
Socialism is just a symptom of democracy..
The filthy ugly regrettable poison of democracy has KILLED this Republic..
The ugly nastiness of the UK, Canada, all of URP , Russia and China..
is at large on this planet..
NO relief is forth coming on this planet UNTIL the filth of democracy is found out..... i.e. diagnosed..
by historic academia.....
Democracy is the road to socialism. -Karl Marx
Democracy is indispensable to socialism.
The goal of socialism is communism. -V.I. Lenin
The meaning of peace is the absence of opposition to socialism .-Karl Marx
It wont be a matter of keeping it. It will be a matter of taking it back.
All these bloggers, pundits, talking heads, and commenters who say “Are we in danger of losing our republic?” are blind fools, in my opinion, or they are lying to themselves to avoid facing the truth. And that truth is that our republic is as dead as the Founders, and has been for some time. After the gay marriage ruling and the craven capitulation to that ruling by virtually every elected official, federal and local, anyone who persists in the delusion that we live by rule of law is beyond foolish. We could argue all day about the exact point in which the Republic began to die, but there is no rational argument now other than that it is dead. The heart is not beating, blood is pooling and rigor mortis has set in, but the doctors and nurses are standing around asking “Are we in danger of losing our patient?”
We are at the point that we have to take it back.
Because “keeping it” assumes we haven’t lost it.

Not a this rate!
In their never-ending pursuit of the perfect “progressive” perpetual motion reelection machine, the delusional Democrats (but I repeat myself) have treated us to some 200 so-called “Sanctuary Cities”.
These are almost exclusively Democrat dominated enclaves where the so-called “authorities” have taken the position that illegal aliens may come there with no risk that their presence will be reported to the federales. Under existing federal law, cities are SUPPOSED to REPORT them and said federales are SUPPOSED to then collect them and DEPORT them whence they came. Note the use of the word “supposed”. Due to orders from the White House for several administrations (yes, Juanita, that includes the Bush operation!), the federales seldom, if ever, send these folks back home.
In their classic facts-be-damned, truth down the memory hole push to perfect society, the Dems have created the idiotic mantra that, because illegals feel more at home and comfortable in their sanctuary cities, they are more likely to come forth with INFORMATION about crimes and those fellow ILLEGALS among them who commit those crimes. As any rational citizen can see, here’s the problem with – and the LIE about – that: IF THOSE ILLEGALS WHO COMMIT THOSE CRIMES WERE NOT HERE, THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR WITNESSES TO PROVIDE THAT “INFORMATION”! (And that beautiful young woman shot – 3 times – by that ILLEGAL in SanFrancisco would still be alive!)
The politicians’ reasons for their failure to follow the federal law vary depending on their party.
G.W. Bush (a Republican) hails from Texas and grew up in a home where, as a baby and young boy, he and Jeb were cared for by a beloved Hispanic nanny. As the boys grew, I suspect they had numerous Hispanic friends. And, because Texas has a large Hispanic population, as adults, their contacts with folks from south of the border were almost certainly numerous and frequent. One would hope that their associates were here legally, but I digress. Those life-long associations with Hispanics produced warm, fuzzy feelings in G and Jeb – who is married to the daughter of a migrant worker and live in a home where SPANISH is their preferred means of communication – and those feelings persist until today.
Democrats Clinton and Obama have somewhat different reasons for their failure to follow the legislative mandates of Congress in this area. This brings us back to that perfect “progressive” perpetual motion machine at the top of this rant: Because the majority of those illegals are collecting taxpayer funded welfare benefits and working off the books and, therefore, NOT paying taxes, they reciprocate the warm and fuzzy feelings – not to the Bush boys or the GOP – but to the DEMOCRATS (and the RINOs) who keep the axles on their gravy train well greased. While it’s hard to pin down the numbers, the estimate is that, of those Hispanics who DO vote, 65% or more pull the “D” lever lest the nasty old Pubbies derail the train.
One additional element is required and the federal courts – inhabited by numerous Democrat appointed judges – are in the process of happily providing it with their increasing rulings that STATES CAN NO LONGER DEMAND PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP OF THOSE WHO SHOW UP ON ELECTION DAY! (Sounds like it’s time for a 10th Amendment gut check.)
You see, the donkey party and their “progressive” lapdog handmaidens in the media, are, in fact, on course to construct that perfect perpetual motion machine and, if the Pubbies don’t get out in front of this thing – and soon – they will never win another national election.
If you read in this that I’m a bigot or racist or both, you are wrong. I just understand that a nation without borders is NOT a nation. My and my wife’s ancestors were permitted entry to this country ONLY after standing in a long line and jumping through all the hoops then required for citizenship.
It’s long past time to end this madness before more of us are killed by people who shouldn’t even be here. We have more than enough indigenous criminals without importing more!

No, it can’t be kept; it’s already lost to the approval of the American people.
We are seeing the excesses of democracy every day.
