Author: Some quick thoughts on today.
Amazing!
Here I sit in the Badger Den sulking in an Iowa State Cyclones loss to the rival Iowa Hawkeyes…yet, a difference in comparison to other years of sulking. It’s not the story of the day! In fact I could care less. And that’s not an insult at my “fandom” or Cyclone roots. (Great win Hawks…now go run the table! Represent Iowa well!)
Something much bigger took place today. In Washington, D.C., and many other spots across the nation people turned out to voice their objections to not just one politician…but to an entire system that has been corrupted by special intrest, political correctness and non-sense.
What a day for those who have felt they have no voice! What a day for those who have felt alone, isolated, or belittled by a bias media and elitist politicians who seek to diminish their rights and voice for the sake of their own agenda, power and glory.
It is the American experiment, individuals united for a collective good established on natural law, what is moral, is what makes us good. We are still good…no matter your background, political stance. Americans as individuals still have the foundation to stand upon and fight back the forces that seek to give us only one choice. One choice is not choice…but a predetermined outcome. One that can not be good. I fight for the freedom to fail, the responsibility to succede. I want no guarantees, especially from a government that can’t even practice the laws that it imposes on it’s citizenry; the only guarantees I want are the ones established in the Bill of Rights. It’s our duty to protect those rights. Our duty to practice those rights. That is what was seen today. No, no, this was not some “astroturf” movement. This is grass roots. This is America that showed up today.
Are you listening Washington?
That is what is at stake. It is something bigger than all of us…on so many levels.
God save the Republic.
