Thanks for the ping, Billie!

Is it just me, or have the events of the past year revived the spirit of patriotism all across the fruited plain?

I sense more and more people are going back to the basics of what it means to be an American. I have seen references made to the foundational principles that undergird our free republic everywhere...particularly to the fact that our rights come from the Creator, and are therefore unalienable...

It is all very encouraging, and by God's grace, I pray that this new awareness will translate to the voting booth come November.

I will say amen to that. Yes, I do see the changes you mentioned and I am so very thankful for that. I pray it is lasting day by day.

I think the spirit of patriotism all across the fruited plain have been reinvented. God Bless America! It's a wonderful sight to see all the flags and banners. The fireworks this year seemed twice as magnificent as last year. Everything's more red, white and blue this year, I believe!
