There seems to be some controversy about this weekend’s “No Kings” march. But why would it be controversial that U.S. citizens don’t want anybody to act like a king?
You would think that this would be one principle that every American could agree upon. Our Founding Fathers repudiated the very principle of royalty. Rather, they asserted, power should ultimately rest with the citizenry itself.
That is why the purpose of government, according to our U.S. Constitution, is to serve the will of the citizenry. And yet, in recent months, U.S. citizens are being violently attacked and detained simply for exercising their First Amendment right to free speech.
I am starting to think that our government has lost sight of what this nation is all about.
