"A Republic... if you can keep it:" Ben Franklin's words are often cited as a warning regarding the fragility of the nation our Founders had crafted, and at this moment, even as we have so much to celebrate, the fragility is feeling particularly acute.
Dr. Bradley Thayer reminds us of what is at stake, and the truest nature and tactics of our foes.
A celebration, a warning, and an impetus to stand up for the good guys.
