This country and its people have lived through a civil war, and we have remain united.We've endured world wars that have tried our spirit, our economy, and our way of life; we've remained united.We fought and scraped through the depths of the Depression, and our spirit remained strong and united.We realized the mistakes of slavery, oppression, and discrimination and thus did we strengthen our spirit and our unity. We suffered world wide castigation throughout Vietnam and Watergate, and came back strong, respected, and united.
Are we now in a similar situation?Is there a fear that as a country we are facing historical times that threaten to rip our country apart and threaten our spirit and our unity?
As we listen to Barack Obama on the campaign trail, he would have us believe that this is true.That unless we elect an ideaolog, we are bound to turn back the progress of the last 250 years.
Barack Obama would like us to believe that our spirit is gone, that our unity is weak.Barack Obama would like you to believe that he can build an ideal version of America from our soon to be national ashes.
I would like you to look at recent history and ask yourself if America is a dying spirit.Think back to 9/11, are there tears in your eyes from the spirit, pride, and unity that America showcased during that time?Picture the news stories of soldiers returning from Iraq, the dead and the living; how strong was the outpouring of pride, love, and compassion for our fellow Americans?Think back to the political turmoil of 2000, did we riot in the streets, demand constitutional changes, and fight the rule of law and order?
To be sure, there are many things wrong with America.Far too many children go to sleep hungry, lonely, and/or homeless.Far too many people are working far too hard and making far too little.
We will never have utopia; times bring changes, changes bring new and more difficult issues that affect some more than others.Yet, somehow, we have always faced these new changes, these new challenges, these new problems and eased the burden while strengthening the spirit; we always have.
Do not let Barack Obama insult you, tell you that your American spirit, pride, and unity is weak and dying.Do not let Barack Obama tell you that our country is weak, despised, and on the brink of disaster.Do not let Barack Obama tell you that he can bring about utopia, solve all your problems, and make your life worth living again.
Do not let Barack Obama tell you that he, and only he, is the agent of change and of hope.Change and hope lies in each one of us.Change and hope lies in our historical spirit and ability to unite when things appear to be at their worst.
Barack Obama is the new version of the fear mongerer.Tell Barack Obama that we fear nothing, we fear no man! For we are Americans!
