We Face Times As Important As 1776

As we approach the 250th anniversary of our great nation, it is worth remembering something that history has a funny way of reminding us: the American Revolution was never a unanimous group project where everyone showed up wearing a powdered wig, carrying a musket, and shouting “liberty!” in perfect harmony.

The truth is far more interesting — and far more human.

In 1776, not everyone was eager to break away from King George and the British crown. About 20% of the colonists were perfectly comfortable with the arrangement. They were quite content with the taxes, the regulations, and a government that was more than happy to tell them what to do from across the ocean. Apparently, even back then, there were folks who looked at an expanding government and said, “Well, maybe the king just needs a little more authority.” History has a strange habit of recycling old ideas with new packaging.

Another 40% were simply spectators. They weren’t for or against the Revolution — they were busy living life, paying bills, tending farms, running businesses, and probably wondering why everyone was arguing so much. Sound familiar? It is not unlike the voter turnout we see today, in Montana, with record low turnouts,

There were some 40% that were sympathetic to the Revolution, well as long as it didn’t make things to uncomfortable. The remarkable truth is that at any given moment during the Revolution, only a small percentage — perhaps around 3% — were truly willing to sacrifice their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor for the cause of liberty. Yet those few determined souls changed the course of history.

That small band of patriots helped create a nation that would eventually stand against the tyranny of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. A nation that became a beacon of freedom across the world. A nation that has produced and distributed more Bibles and spread the Gospel farther than any nation in human history. A nation blessed with opportunity, prosperity, innovation, and abundance beyond what the founders could have imagined.

But it required the courage of the few.

Fast forward 250 years, and Montana finds itself wrestling with a similar question. Do we still believe in the principles that built this nation? Do we still value constitutional government, personal responsibility, faith, family, and freedom?

Because liberty has always had its critics — even among those who claim to love it.

There have always been people willing to compromise away pieces of freedom in exchange for the promise of comfort, convenience, or political peace. Today, we have Montana RINO Republicans who will not support the excellent Republican party platform, but instead, believe that collaborating with Democrats is the right direction for our future. They are very wrong.


To cooperate with the same failed Democrats whose ideals have produced broken cities, moral confusion, rising dependency, and governments that increasingly believe their purpose is to manage citizens rather than serve them. Can you show me ANY democrat success? Why would we want any of that in any way??

The Revolution was not won because everyone agreed. It was won because enough people cared enough, stood firm enough, and endured long enough.

The same is true today for us in Montana.

The future of Montana and America will not be decided by those who are loudest, angriest, or most cynical. It will be shaped by people of conviction who are willing to show up, work, sacrifice, and remain faithful when the road gets difficult.

Do not be discouraged by setbacks. Every great movement in history has faced opposition, disappointment, and moments where victory seemed impossible. The founders did not have certainty — they had courage.

So the question before us is simple:
Do we still have the vision?
Do we still have the heart?
Do we still have the courage to carry forward the blessings God handed to us?

A minority of determined people with faith and a dream changed the world once before.

The principles of the Constitution, conservatism, faith, family, and freedom will endure — not because history guarantees it, but because free people choose to defend them.
The Spirit of 1776 is not a memory.

It is a responsibility!
