If You Can Keep It
November 2, 2020
By Ron Tucker

America is uniquely defined, not by ethnicity or religion, but by a radical and unprecedented idea: liberty for all. The United States is the only country in history that purposely set out to create a government that was by, for, and of the people. It laid the foundation of a free society that could prosper in its freedom, and where the government governed by the consent of the people. When Benjamin Franklin was leaving the Constitutional Convention on its last day, a woman stopped him and asked, “Well, what have we got? A republic or a monarchy.” To which Franklin replied, “A republic, madam – if you can keep it.” This weekend, Ron looks at the clear and present danger to the future of our republic and ways we might still be able to keep it.
