America Rise Up!
Are we embarrassed to be the best? Are we supposed to yield to other nations when we hold the light of freedom? Last I looked, we were the only ones to land on the moon, touch Mars, send ourselves beyond our solar system, zealously protect religious and political freedom, feed the hungry the world over, topple modern dictators and abusers of women and children. We and only we.
And now we are supposed to take this idea that the likes of Red China, and Former Red Russia will displace us? The likes of rulers who stamp out followers of Falun Gong or assasinate Politksaya just for pursuing the truth? No and never no. To cede world leadership to these wealthy Pol Pots is to cede the future of humanity to the few who want to control our dreams, our lives, our very bodies.
Rise up America. Throw off your debt-induced stupor. Shake off the blandishments of the envious and the harassment of those whom we shook off when we started over 200 years ago.
Our Governor brings this sentiment home in her speeches, her writings and her actions. Her latest Facebook entry at http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=148659543434 is very practical — let’s responsibly develop our vast resources and take away the leverage of those who would enslave the world.
Just checking in to say hello and to wish you well. We haven’t sparred in awhile and I miss the banter. I hope all is well with you and yours.
