I have posted many threads on Kirk's thoughts, views and writings.
I am unable to find that well of hopefulness and confidence that Kirk could always bring forth in me from this piece from almost a generation ago.
I think our citizenry has not been taught properly, been shown right examples or been counseled by honest media for the last forty years and that now the majority is formed with a nature I do not recognize.
We couldn't even field a conservative candidate of stature and skill in a primary shaping a challenge to a failed leftist fraud. I have not despaired but I am resigned that only Divine intervention can right this without a horrible period and price to be endured.
Resigned? You would prefer it if humans could figure it out without Him?
