Well stated, CA Guy. We have an uphill climb. America has had them before, and I do not take this challenge lightly. What we face is every bit as dangerous and outcome-hanging-in-the-balance as our 1776 Revolution, bringing our nation together after the Late Unpleasantness of the 1860s, and Normandy, for example.
We do have a cancer in our press...and many of our other institutions as well. We will certainly be gravely sick for a while before we can possibly get better.
The idea of America, however is NOT sick, and too many people hold it in their hearts and WILL NOT SURRENDER. I am recalling from somewhere that only about 30% of the population were actually committed to the Revolution in 1776. We do not have to have the entire population or even a strongly committed majority.
We do have hope, but it is a terribly huge challenge. And the sad part is that it need never have been. But we do not do ourselves a favor to cry over that. We MUST each of us who do love America as she was founded, wake up each day, and ask, “OK, Uncle Sam, what can I do to save America today?”
It might be to talk to a neighbor. Go to a town hall meeting. Post on FreeRepublic.com. Write emails to representatives and friends. Donate to patriotic causes or candidates. The list is endless. Do at least one per day, if not more. This is our calling.
Extremely well said, TexOkie. We must buck up - and buck each other up.
One righteous man is a majority...
