Exclamation The Spirit Of Our Founders

1-9-2024

Roughly one-hundred and sixty-three years ago a terrible and bloody conflict was brought upon our nation by zealots, (both north and south), who adamantly and individually believed that our nation was established in order to secure their right to think, and to walk a path, that both sides of “Our Nation” sincerely felt it to be their right to traverse! And no matter how you feel about the issues of slavery and states’ rights, the fact remains that roughly a half million Americans died to defend their right to believe just how they felt!

And although hundreds of thousands of ‘Americans’ expired to defend what they thought was their inviable right to conduct their affairs in a fashion that was best for their own economies and ways of life, one thing still remains a fact, it being that a great deal of hostility and rancor still exists in some portions of this great nation of ours that went on to fight, and to win, two world-wide conflagrations in years past, saving the planet from a trajectory that only time itself will determine the merit (or the error) of its direction! “Was this a war over slavery alone, or was it a terrible conflagration to determine state’s rights?”

As a matter of fact, there are still great portions of “Our Country” that are yet fighting this war even as we speak, and both sides still insist in the sanctity of their causes? One thing, however, still remains a fact, it being, that no one can say in all certainty how much progress and potential was literally bled-away upon that now hallowed ground in places like Bull Run (Manassas), Gettysburg, and all of the rest of those horrendous places that witnessed the deaths of men whose promise is now known but to “The Almighty Himself?”

So here we are again, some one hundred and sixty-three years after the fact, and having traveled extensively throughout “Our Magnificent Nation”, I am here to tell you, that in some places, this derision still exists, be it in a far more benign fashion, and this, within a country that has gone on to fight, side by side, against any and all enemies, who even attempted to besmirch our national honor, pride and liberties!

And should the need ever again arise (and as country’s go, this remains a distinct possibility), let it forever remain a fact, that the amount of discretion and tolerance that we have displayed in the past, could only have been forthcoming, from a nation (Our Nation) that knows no peers or even equals!

And let no man or country ever again risk the ire or the venom of “Our Own Uncle Sam”, and this by mistaking our tolerance and our sanity for a weakness that has never been present, ever since our proud and defiant ancestors first stood (face to face) against the mightiest empire of its time - a nation that was revered and feared by the entire world at that point in time!

For you see, we are still “All Americans” in heart and in spirit, and we have never, nor will we ever, shirk from defending “Our Nation, Our People, or Our National Interest - World-Wide!” And as for our nuclear muscle (and might), ‘Thank God’ for the world - that we have had the intelligence and the fortitude not to utilize the massive weaponry that we currently have at our disposal, lest we literally burn this planet down around the knees of our nation’s vilest enemies!

Finally, and as our illustrious twenty-sixth president was reported to have said: “Always Speak Softly but still carry a damned big stick!” And hopefully, the world may never know, just how mighty our fatal cudgel truly may be – and so it very well is? Or do you truly believe that –

“Our Gallant and Mighty United States of America have been asleep at the reins ever since we first eradicated the mortal threat to humanity that existed, away back in August of Nineteen Forty- Five!”

“Dream On”, for only our tolerance and our national sanity as well, has prevented us from unleashing ‘The Fires of Hell’ upon all of those who even dared to test our righteous metal in times past!! “And That Too - Is A Fact!”

“The Spirits of Our Founders Yet Lives!!”
