When the Greatest Threat Comes From Within
What happens when the world's most powerful democracy begins to fracture from the inside? Throughout history, Americans have confronted external enemies-from British redcoats to Soviet missiles. But today's most dangerous adversary wears no uniform and carries no foreign flag. The January 6th insurrection wasn't just a riot; it was a preview of what happens when citizens forget that democracy isn't self-sustaining. We've spent generations celebrating our rights-free speech, gun ownership, religious liberty-while quietly neglecting the obligations that make those rights possible. Think of democracy as a bridge: rights are the steel cables that hold it up, but obligations are the concrete foundation beneath. Without both, the whole structure collapses. This isn't abstract political theory-it's the difference between peaceful transitions of power and chaos in the Capitol. Benjamin Franklin's warning echoes across centuries: "A republic, if you can keep it." We're discovering how prescient that "if" was.
