Young letter: Political revolution

I agree with Glen Beck when he said that we are headed for revolution. On one hand if Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders is elected, we will see full-blown socialism with soaring taxation and big government domination.

Donald Trump has beat up the bullies on the playground, and some can’t wait to enthrone him, but he is also a bully — a law unto himself. So if you want a “king,” be sure and remember that kings play by their own rules: If you kiss the ring you won’t be kicked by the boot.

Our founding fathers promised us a “republic — if we could keep it” — and I am wondering, even with a man as formidable and knowledgeable as is Ted Cruz about the Constitution, if we are willing to pay the price that it takes to remain a free people. In the end, it is really up to us — US.
