Friends, a funny thing happened on the way to America's 250th birthday: arguably a majority of Americans forgot to celebrate, or even to care. This coincides with a steady rise in pessimism throughout our great land, but especially among leftists and Democrats, that threatens to choke off our patrimony and our potential. Today, therefore, is a time to be ecstatic, yes, but also a time to be...soberly concerned. A real patriot, after all, can be both!
"Dr. Waddy, it may be true (though I wonder) that some polls see plenty of folks checked out for our 250th. The Left is doing their darndest to spread pessimism.
ReplyDeleteBut as you suggest, there is a bright side. Republicans are holding on to the promise our land offers at high levels, even while Democrat numbers may have collapsed.
And then there's the Trumpster out there on the Mall, despite the storm, directing the Salute to America. He delivered a rousing, late-night speech on our heroes and history, followed by an incredible fireworks display that has been posted proudly all over social media.
That's the contrast that matters. As President Reagan reminded us, 'There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right.'
I see a 'Shining City on a Hill" opportunity ringing through those polls and the line seems clearly defined... the GOP owns American optimism and patriotism right now, and that's a very bright future indeed - IF - they can communicate that message effectively between now and November. I for one, have hope they can do that and get the Patriots out!
