We Are at a Tipping Point - Without Courage and Duty We Stand to Lose Everything to Tyranny
By: Michael Flynn
America is an exceptional nation. Our 1776 founding was led by great men acting by the divine Providence of God. They recognized our creator and that he created us as equals in His sight and and is the source of all of our inalienable human rights. America is a shining city on a hill. Our light and greatness are being dimmed by bicoastal secular progressive urban elites and their woke cancel culture. For America to remain great that ideology must be resisted and defeated.

What a remarkable time to be an American.
This is not to say that other generations have not been called upon to defend the legacy of the blessings of liberty and self-governance our forefathers passed on to us; rather, it is our generation, at this very time, that will determine — once again — the destiny of our nation. Of that, I am sure.
As I travel across this country, I often emphasize in my remarks that now is the time for all of us to choose the harder right decision over the easier path. By that I mean that if we are to fulfill the legacy of our Founding Fathers , we must be willing to be courageous and accountable and demand accountability from our government’s leaders. It takes inner courage to hold oneself accountable and a fearlessness to get into the fight when the easier thing to do is leave it to others.
Our forefathers did not relent when challenged by the powerful British Empire. They were willing to give up their lives and all they owned for what they knew would be seen by the Crown as a treasonous act. They were among the most courageous people in human history, and they held each other, and themselves, accountable for their actions. Just look at the Declaration of Independence. Each of the 56 men who put their names on this precious document had basically signed their own warrant for arrest — and maybe worse.
In clear defiance of the ruling class and knowing that they would be held to account, they broke with the Crown, proclaiming that the birth of a new nation based on individual rights and limited government was now a stark reality.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government.”
And yet, less than a month after the Declaration of Independence was signed, Samuel Adams urged his comrades, “Courage, then, my countrymen, our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty.” Later that same year, Benjamin Franklin wrote a friend, “I hope our people will keep up their courage. I have not doubt of their finally succeeding by the blessing of GOD, nor have I any doubt that so good a cause will fail of that blessing.”
They had great faith — and hoped — that future generations would see it as their duty to protect and fight for freedom as they had and have the courage to hold government accountable. Without the demonstration of both, Americans would stand to lose everything to tyranny.
We all honor the courage of our Founding Fathers as we should. But today, our generation needs new acts of courage. We are at a tipping point in the history of America. It is our turn. Destiny calls us to act with courage and accountability to pass the torch of freedom to our children and grandchildren or lose it all. There is no other way. The destiny of America will be decided once again, not along the path you walked upon yesterday, but along which path you choose to walk on tomorrow.
And I am telling you, I’m inspired by what I’m seeing in my travels through our great country. People are rising to the occasion and fighting back. They’re demanding accountability and are making themselves accountable. Pastors are speaking up and standing taller than ever before at the pulpit. I’m seeing more and more veterans run for elected office and taking on other leadership positions to take accountability for themselves and for this country. You don’t stop serving just because you are out of uniform. And if you’ve been in uniform, you know when courage and accountability are needed; and when you do, you stand up, step up, speak up and lead.
It’s not just veterans and pastors speaking out and stepping forward. Men and women from all walks of life are showing the courage of our forefathers — business leaders, teachers, football coaches, small business owners and parents. Our Founders showed us the way to choose the harder right decision over the easier path. They laid the foundation with our founding documents — the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights. These documents are not mere words, they are the fulfillment of the promises we make to each other as American citizens. And, through our founder’s faith in God and each other, they passed on to future generations the lessons and, yes, the promises of their lifetime that to the end, freedom and liberty were worth the fight. Indeed, what a remarkable time to be alive and, even better, what a remarkable time to be an American.

No real American is ever going to give any credence to a Putinite fascist traitor like the seditious disgraced felon Michael Flynn. He personally is one of the greatest threats to America today.
It is Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Batak Obama who should be described as you wrote above. Flynn is a great American

Some people might be fooled by your [deleted comment. deleted]
Intelligent people do not hate a good man wrongly treated.
neither the seeder nor article author are the topic of the seeded article. The above is what it’s about.
Flynn is a seditionist traitor who wanted trump to illegally declare martial law and overthrow American democracy. He also admitted lying to the FBI, a felony. No fraudulent reactionary propaganda will cover up the truth about Flynn.
That's not a topic of anything. That's a reactionary hoax.
No it’s related to the rest of the paragraph and is an accurate description of who is a threat to America as we’ve known her that Flynn referred to and are largely the single biggest threat to America.
Comment 2.1.8 is schizofascist propaganda, which is the actual basis of this entire seed. Lies and disinformation.
[delete]
WTF exactly is 'courage and duty' as defined by you and traitor Flynn?
Just his usual talking points 'bicoastal secular progressive urban elites' and their 'woke cancel culture'
Ho Hum
Again, SSDD
The lies and disinformation have always come from General Flynn’s accusers and detractors since late 2016.
Flynn was never a traitor. That is what his accusers actually were/are.
Flynn is a Putinite, a seditious traitor and a convicted felon. History will note that he is a total disgrace.
Flynn is a seditious traitor. That is not subject to any question.
Actually it is. You expressed a far left of center based opinion, not an unquestionable fact.
Fact: Flynn urged Trump to declare martial law, suspend the Constitution and civilian control of the government, and install a military regime to allow Trump to illegally maintain power.
That is seditious treason.
Source with direct quote of him saying any or all that????

The words he used to describe a great American like Flynn are a much more accurate description of let’s go Brandon!
"No real American is ever going to give any credence to a Putinite fascist traitor like the seditious disgraced felon Michael Flynn. He personally is one of the greatest threats to America today."
He and the entire former trumpturd criminal enterprise of an administration. This is who they want to be president in 2024!!!!!!!!!!!!
We would be proud to Make America Great Again again with Trump as our Exceptional President!
Trump was the only President in American history who was a fascist traitor. That's what makes him exceptional.
Trump is also only President impeached twice.
Very true. Good point!
And both acts were partisan bs with zero justification for such insanity twice.
Comment 2.3.5 is false. Republican Senators voted to convict Trump in both impeachment trials.
Yet, a bipartisan majority of both Houses of Congress, all respected members of society, voted to impeach and remove Trump, twice!
The current President is a traitor in league with communists.
RINO’s are not Republicans. They are being eradicated from the party in the primary campaigns.
The Trumpist-Fascist elements are attempting to engage in a purge of many life long Republicans who don't express sufficient fealty to Trump from the Republican Party.
That's insane.
XX Jefferson, have you lost your mind?
Michael Flynn is known Q Anon, and you are trying to promote this vile person on this website?
[Not your call]
It's a complete disgrace.
The disgrace was how he was treated by America’s domestic enemies…
Flynn is one of America's primary domestic enemies.
No, that would be those who used their power to harm him without any legitimate cause. He was properly pardoned for all convictions based on the bogus charges.
I do believe some folks can't stand that, and it really gets them riled up all kinds of ways!
So much so that not one comment from them on this seed is about the actual content of what was actually written in the article.
No, that would be the secular progressive urban elite oligarchy
Comment 3.1.6 is schizofascist fraud. No one in their right mind believes it. It would almost be laughable if it wasn't so pathetic.
Comment 3.1.7 is a textbook definition of irrational partisan fueled anger, bitterness, and hate of all that is good and just in America. It’s truly sad to see such displays here as in the content of that animus fueled comment
The use of the phrase "secular progressive urban elite oligarchy" defines "irrational partisan fueled anger, bitterness and hate". The repeated use of it, as we see on Newstalkers, is pathological, and a clear display of schizofascist propaganda and "animus fueled" content.
The prior post is the prime example of irrational partisan fueled anger animus fueled bitterness and irrational hate typical on NewsTalkers coming from the intolerant left
Comment 3.1.10 is a desperate but failed attempt to employ schizofascist propaganda techniques to create a false narrative. It derives from the hatred and rage prevalent among lunatic fringe reactionary extremists.
He was steam rolled by the deep state and denied basic rights and justice. He is a rightfully pardoned man.
No one is impressed by Putinist propaganda like "steam rolled by the deep state".
Flynn should still be in jail. It wouldn't be a surprise if he is prosecuted for sedition.
[deleted]
It was Obama, Hillary, and Biden who colluded with Putin to try to dig up dirt on Trump. They are the treasonous traitors, not Flynn nor Trump.
Your comment is counterfactual and ahistorical. It's yet another example of perverse schizofascist propaganda.
The usual projection, deflection, and denial. SSDD.
The Durham evidence suggests that it is me and not you that’s right about this
Actually it’s the same truth every day that has the elites and the deep state in a panic.
The so-called Durham evidence does no such thing.
It was Hillary and her corrupt deep state people with the so called evidence. What Durham is digging up is the truth and the facts as to what really happened.
Durham isn't "digging up" anything. Comment 3.2.9 is lunatic fringe reactionary extremist propaganda.
Comment 3.2.10 is bicoastal secular progressive elites revolutionary rhetoric
That's insane. Comment 3.2.11 is more lunatic fringe reactionary extremist garbage.
No, that’s comment 3.2.12
Comment 3.2.13 is more mindless reactionary drivel.
Flag it then.
I wonder what the rationale for such a flag would be?
Well, I guess for starters it could fall under "I don't like the article, therefore I want it gone."
That’s exactly how the fact checkers without exception that big tech social media sites use for content control do it with sites and persons they “rate”
Why is it that the first inclination of those on the political left is to content control and censor persons and viewpoints that they don’t like or disagree with. Doesn’t MBFC do enough of that crap to us already? How much more does the left feel it needs to maintain their preferred no dissent allowed comfort zone?
