What Will We Tell Our Children?
My old boss, Ronald Reagan, warned that every generation faces an existential threat to freedom. Unfortunately, we face a number of them. If our enemies prevail, Reagan believed, “We will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was like to live in the United States when men were free.”

Tomorrow, Joe Biden and hundreds of his subordinates will take oaths to protect and defend the Constitution. What we tell our children depends critically on whether they fulfill those solemn promises.
For example, will we enjoy in the future, as we have in the past, freedoms of speech, religion and peaceable assembly? Will the press be free or effectively instruments of state propaganda? Will our elections be honestly conducted? Will officials compromised by hostile powers be barred from government service?
Team Biden must be held to its oaths.
