Patrick Henry lives in Chongqing.
It is completely encouraging for them, and discouraging for us by comparison.
I am currently dictating and audiobook about Dr. Joseph Warren, one of the “Sons of Liberty” (associating with Revere, Hancock, Adams, etc) and it has made the contrast between the totalitarians that many Americans seem to pine for in our policies now, what we see a longing for in China for those oppressed by the Communists, and what it was back in 1770 in the US Colonies.
The ringing endorsement of Liberty back then, is manifested more closely by the oppressed Chinese than it is in the entire American Left. Apparently, the US National Anthem has become a staple for those oppressed, as it should be. But in our country, we have people trying to bar the playing of the National Anthem so people can’t hear it.
That contrast saddens me more than I can say.
