Editor, OBSERVER:
It is difficult to comprehend what is happening and why it is happening.
Uri Bezmenov, a KGB defector, was amazingly prophetic in describing the current playbook during a 1984 interview.
Intellectuals, journalists and educators are led to believe that they will be the leaders in a new order but they never achieve that goal. History has shown that these people end up as prisoners instead of powerful. Students taught by leftist disciples are indoctrinated into beliefs contrary to American values. These people, as Lenin put it, are "useful idiots." Those that do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Unfortunately, this history is not taught very much in our politically correct academic circles.
It’s time to stand up and unapologetically celebrate America and all its done and all it represents.
America is a land of optimism and not regrets. We’ve got a lot to be proud of and celebrate.
That was captured in a song by Neil Diamond years ago:
Far, we’ve been traveling far without a home but not without a star.
Free, only want to be free. We huddle close, hang onto a dream.
On the boats and on the planes they’re coming to America.
Never looking back again, they’re coming to America.
Home, to a new and a shiny place. Make our bed, and we’ll say our grace.
Freedom’s light burning warm. Freedom’s light burning warm.
Everywhere around the world, they’re coming to America.
Every time that flag’s unfurled, they’re coming to America.
Got a dream to take them there, they’re coming to America.
Got a dream they’ve come to share they’re coming to America.
My country ’tis of thee sweet land of liberty.
Of thee I sing.
The future of this country will be decided this November - not only by the candidates on the ballot, but by the citizens who take time to participate. The future is decided by those who show up. Your vote matters.
