Most of us have heard of this anecdote. After the Constitutional Convention of 1787, a lady reportedly asked Ben Franklin whether we had gotten a republic or a monarchy, to which Franklin replied, “A republic if you can keep it.” At this time in our history, I think we are in grave danger of losing our great Republic.
This is clarified in the excellent article in The Epoch Times, “A Woke Minority Has Seized America” by Michael Walsh [published April 14]. Congratulations to Mr. Walsh on his courage to write the article, and to you, Mr. Editor, for having the courage to publish it. I applaud both of you, for I believe that courage is the fundamental virtue required today.
