Securing the Republic

John Adams stated in a letter to Mercy Warren on April 16, 1776 about Securing the Republic, “Men must be ready, they must pride themselves and be happy to sacrifice their private pleasures, passions and interests, nay, their private friendships and dearest connections, when they stand in competition with the rights of society.”  

But how many men or women today are ready to sacrifice their private pleasures to stand in competition or disagreement to the “rights of society?”  
       
More so, what are these “rights of society” that men and women would stand against or “stand in competition with the rights of society” that they would sacrifice their private pleasures, passions and interests for?


With the many brainwashed people in the States United today, I would say that NOT MANY would stand in competition with any rights that they THINK they have or should have.
These people believe that they don’t have to sacrifice any of their personal pleasures because the government will provide it to them as long as they go along with what’s dictated to them.


With this mentality, we find our modern day slaves who think that they are free as long as they do what’s dictated unto them or follow after liars of the Democratic Socialist Republic.


I don’t mention this slave mentality lightly because unfortunately, the slaves of early America didn’t have any rights under their KKK led Democratic Masters, for if they refused any commands give unto them, they were killed by hanging, tar and feathering, or made a spectacle of for all others so they would stay in line.


This KKK led Democratic ideology came from the old world mentality of “World Domination” by the more powerful nation over the weaker nation. This mentality has always been from the beginning of time.


So, let’s look a little closer at what’s being stated in this letter, because it can be deceiving.

Thus to clarify everything, Adams stated, “The Form of Government, which you admire, when its Principles are pure is admirable, indeed, it is productive of every Thing, which is great and excellent among Men.

But its Principles are as easily destroyed, as human Nature is corrupted. Such a Government is only to be supported by pure Religion or Austere Morals.

Public Virtue cannot exist in a Nation without private, and public Virtue is the only Foundation of Republics.

There must be a positive Passion for the public good, the public Interest, Honour, Power and Glory, established in the Minds of the People, or there can be no Republican Government, nor any real Liberty: and this public Passion must be Superiour to all private Passions.

Men must be ready, they must pride themselves, and be happy to sacrifice their private Pleasures, Passions and Interests, nay, their private Friendships and dearest Connections, when they stand in Competition with the Rights of Society.”

And to show how great this was, this letter was written to a woman of the 1700’s who along with other women who stood beside their husbands and other men of that time in the Colonies to fight against the British Crown. A tyranny much like today’s government here in the Post Colonial times.

For more on whom Mercy Warren was, look up her history. She along with the other great women of the Colonial times has a story that has gone untold for too long.
