After Lech Walesa Meeting, Romney Should Call America to a New Birth of Freedom
Catholic Online ^ | 8/1/12 | Keith A Fournier

... In an interview during his 2010 visit Walesa offered this observation: "The United States is only one superpower. Today they lead the world. Nobody has doubts about it. Militarily. They also lead economically but they're getting weak. But they don't lead morally and politically anymore. The world has no leadership. The United States was always the last resort and hope for all other nations. There was the hope, whenever something was going wrong, one could count on the United States. Today, we have lost that hope..."

Former Governor Mitt Romney just returned from a foreign policy trip... The Romney campaign has much to draw from out of this visit. Not only in the optics, but in the substance of the meetings. For example, his meeting with the iconic Lech Walesa, the former Polish President and Nobel Peace Prize winner. It presents him with an opportunity to call America to a new birth of true freedom in an hour when we are disheartened and ready to respond to just such a positive message...

On Monday, July 30, 2012, in Gdansk, Poland, the very place where a trade union movement was used as a vehicle to topple an oppressive statist system, Mitt Romney was endorsed by one of the historic champions of freedom...

We need to hear once again the kind of message which brought us into the Republican Party - a robust call to true freedom with personal and social responsibility...Twenty three years ago, on June 12, 1987, President Ronald Reagan, speaking at the base of the Brandenburg Gate near the Berlin wall, cast aside the advice of trained consultants, reached into the courageous heart which propelled his statesmanship and proclaimed "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" That Wall fell like the walls of old Jericho. Freedom removed the stones.

The Romney campaign has much to draw from out of this visit. Not only in the optics, but in the substance of the meetings the candidate held with Champions of freedom. For example, his meeting with the iconic Lech Walesa, the former Polish President and Nobel Peace Prize winner. It presents him with an opportunity to call America to a new birth of true freedom in an hour when we are disheartened and ready to respond to just such a positive message. We need leaders unafraid to speak the language of freedom again and rouse us to follow what Abraham Lincoln called our "better angels." Lincoln called us to a "New Birth of Freedom". We need to hear such a call again.

The catch is that his own party establishment is just as Big Governmentalist as the other one.

Speak for yourself kid...

I’m not “disheartened”

and unless Willard is prepared to speak of the LORD Jesus Christ of the Christian Bible as the only Way to “true freedom”, the Truth of freedom and the Life of Freedom, and “new birth” in Him then he’s wasting his time...

Willard can no more save our country than Obama can...

Willard is not the Savior...of anything...

His Name is Jesus...

The people in this country need to be called to humble themselves and pray and seek the face of God and turn from their wicked ways AND THEN God will hear us from Heaven, and will forgive us our sin and heal our land 2 Chronicles 7;14

Unless Willard is prepared to repent of his sins himself and turn from his wicked ways and to call the nation back to God, he is just another pagan just like Obama...

But that takes humility...

I cant see Willard given up his prideful ways...

as for sins, he doesnt seem to think he has any...
