When the bystander stops standing loose and takes a stand, the tide changes.
When the average John and Jane step up to the plate, that's hope renewed.
Remember that when the wick got turned up at Lexington and Concord; it wasn't our side that was all done up in the tactical garb of the day.
It was Joe Farmer, and Eddie Shopkeeper, their Sons and neighbors who were standing fast.
The voices they lent to it.
The Brits couldn't comprehend that they weren't insurmountable. They found out otherwise, even though to took far more than anyone had estimated. But the commitment remained strong. The new Aristocracy is overdue for that same lesson.
That quarrel was about things as mundane as tea and taxes. Today it's about free speech, free thought, and our very children's minds. What was intolerable back then has been deliberately evolved into an entire new onslaught on decency and genuine values.
So I'd suggest we forget about appearances, and ready our minds for a long uphill advance. Definitions are no longer the relevant point; it's what we do about them now.
American Spirit; Who We Are....
This is no longer a quibble about who did what, and all the sordid details.
It's about who we are.
We are not the ones who are rioting in the cities; and we're done with that swill.
They want some push back? They can have it, free of charge. When it comes, like the Brits; they have no idea.
Meanwhile, somebody has to look to hearth and home; and Elder Farts like me can still try and manage that.
