Yeah, it was good — a different angle than I expected.

Very good. Too short...but very good points made.

It was entirely positive. It was a call to action and a call to move in a positive direction.

1773 to 1789 was a long road. We are at 1773. We must work hard and sacrifice if we are ever to get to 1789.

We must also remember that between those dates, an army of citizen soldiers defeated the most powerful army in the history of the world. We defeated them by gnawing at their heels until they were forced to admit defeat.

It was a long road, but our founding fathers and the citizen army marched barefoot in the snow for 10 years to pull off their victory.

Are we willing to make that trek? Are we willing to sacrifice as they did to save this Republic?

I don't know. I get discouraged. Mike Lee's speech was hopeful. But in the end, it is the foot soldiers that win wars. Our Liberty was won by foot soldiers who had no shoes. Are we willing to follow in their footsteps?
