It cannot be the case that the 250-year old democratic experiment is about to end. The midterms must be protected by enforcing democratic principles and constitutional rights against corrupt, authoritarian oligarchs. Otherwise, ninety-plus percent of Americans and their descendants are about to be seriously screwed.

Ms. Labott, America can renew itself if Americans discard the last 100 years of progressive thought and return to the values of freedom and limited government. As president Coolidge said, "If all men are created equal, that's final. If government derives their just power from the consent of the governed, that's final. If we are endowed with inalienable rights, that's final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions." Happy Independence Day and take care.

Here in Japan there are definitely Plan B arrangements being made. Few trust that the U.S. will be there if China invades Taiwan
