There are other dates I considered adding, but I think historians, both professional as well as armchair, need at least a 25-year buffer to retain at least the appearance of impartiality. So, sometime after the year 2033, I’ll decide whether to officially add 3/20/2003 and 11/4/2008 to the list. By the way, I wish to add neither. Currently, the first date does not seem to be heading there for a dishonored spot, but as for the second …
Here's the rub. Though we may have wandered on those dates, we as a people had the freedom of choice to correct or not correct our mistakes via the ballot box.
ReplyDeleteThe reason why 11/4/08 trumps them all is that we are not wandering. We are being dragged kicking and screaming with legislative contortions to a permanently entrenched policy of wealth redistribution that focuses on equality of results, not equality of opportunity.
Group-think and victimization have defeated the can-do rugged individualism that MADE this country the "shining beacon on the hill"
May God bless America. We really need HIS help now.
