God, give us men!
GOD, give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office can not buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor; men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty, and in private thinking; For while the rabble, with their thumb-worn creeds, Their large professions and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land and waiting Justice sleeps. Josiah Gilbert Holland
So far, so good.
Ron Paul fits the bill.
God, make us men!
Beautiful. Love it. Welcome!
Love it
Excellent!
Welcome!
YES!
Helluva first post, FRiend!
Perhaps one in ten american men fit that bill and very probably less. I actually hold men in much more contempt than women for the trouble this cuntry is in, because they ought to know better, but they’re getting paid and have brand new, hideously ugly $60,000 pickemup trucks to display their superiority, so who gives a damn amiright?
Nice poem. Welcome!
Your post perfectly spells out what our nation needs at this moment in history. Please Lord, guide our nation to fulfill your will here on earth. Allow us to once again stand against the forces of darkness. Help us to regain our moral character.
We need Real Men. Just saw *13 Hours* yesterday. Those were Real Men. I found myself wondering out loud—how do you create men like that?
God gave us a Man.
