We defeated Fascism in a hot war, and Communism in a cold one. We put men on the Moon, the only country so far to have done so. We pushed back the scourge of Islamic terror after 9.11.01. The brave men and women of our military took part in most of those things, and some never came home.
American Exceptionalism
Four years ago: At what cost “unity”?
Four years ago, then president elect Joe Biden called for unity. What he was really calling for was surrender, surrender of our values, surrender of the republic our Founding Fathers meant for us. Four years later America remains divided. The difference this time around, is that those of us who would not part with their American ideals are in the ascendency.
July: American Pride Month
In truth, every month should be American Pride month.
Independence Day Message, 2022
We are a divided nation, but our Constitution is strong. It has allowed us to retain our God-given rights. It has not weakened but strengthened our democracy by returning issues that once were out of reach of the democratic process back into the domain of the people, subject to their will. Even the acute mismanagement we've faced of late can be resolved and overcome with the strength, perseverance, and commitment to first principles.
LR Podcast, S2E20: Biden’s Authoritarian Speech
Wow! In one paragraph, Biden goes full authoritarian, shredding both the concept of Federalism and the separation of powers according to the Constitution. For a member of the party always screaming– “Democracy! Democracy! Democracy!” he doesn’t sound like he’s very into democracy here, does he?
LR Podcast S2E15: The Lessons So Far, Pt 2
All of the major topics I’ve discussed since the inception of the podcast will be covered in a planned multi-part series. I’d like to think that the ideas I talk about are of value to the listener.
LR Podcast, S2E10: Independence Day Message 2021
To hear it from some people, you’d think that America was a terrible place with a terrible history with few redeeming qualities. Some of their points are valid, but they do not give a balanced perspective on our nation. Our Founding Fathers were men of wisdom and courage who sacrificed much and were prepared to give, even more, even their lives if necessary for us to gain our independence.
LR Podcast #11: It’s OK to Love America
This week, I talk about how the government undermined their own efforts to make people wear masks to slow the spread of COVID-19. Despite all the claims to the contrary, there are good reasons to love the U.S.A.
On this week’s podcast: It’s OK to Love America
From freeing black Americans from slavery to freeing other nations from tyranny and oppression, America has always taken a lead role. We make and do cool stuff, like build the Panama Canal and send cars into space. We help the less fortunate in our own county and across the globe. Even when it comes to countries that we don't exactly see eye-to-eye with politically, we offer them help in their time of need. In short, there is an awful lot to be proud of if you're an American.
Happy Independence Day 2020!
This year, more than most, people who love America, especially in some parts of the country hit by strife, need to know that they are not alone. They need to know that we who love our country outnumber the mob who with do destroy it. They need to know that regardless of race, ancestry, or religion that we are all one country, one American people.
