Letter body: 

Our constitutional Republic appears to have died on Nov. 6. Having reached the point of no return in a comatose state after years of progressive assaults coupled with a silent media has completely unraveled America. After 236 years of existence, a new country emerged, run by secular progressives who openly reject our constitution. Remember, in the future our Supreme Court will be forever altered after its last conservative will be replaced by the liberal academics. The rule of law will be implemented by executive orders, making Congress irrelevant.

The welfare-dependent Americans, unions, out of control immigration policies and the complicit mainstream media have chosen for the rest of us the dark path of serfdom. Who would have guessed that Americans were as ignorant and irresponsible as to choose fiscal destruction over fiscal sanity for their children and grandchildren, secularism over faith, dependence over personal responsibility and self-reliance?

I am writing this on Veterans Day and am saddened by the loss of all those American soldiers who have died to preserve freedom that we are quickly losing. Have we no honor for their blood and treasure?

Mediocrity, godlessness, dependence and cowardice will define the future country.

Only divine providence can save us now with mercy and grace.
