Oh, For a Statesman
It’s a sad day in the history of our country. Right is wrong and wrong is right. The good are mocked and the evil are praised, worshiped even. Heroes are picked apart and connivers are couched and protected by teams of media elite.
I daydream of statesman who once stood for truth and right. I long for the day when men stood for right because their integrity required it of them. The decision might not make their life easier. It might even walk them into their own private hell for a time, but down deep inside they knew it was the right thing to do, for the good of the country. They knew that there was a supreme God that would provide peace to their souls because they were doing the right thing, despite the trials that were, hunger, discouragement, cold, injury, torture or even death. Their determination and courage brought us a land of opportunity and freedom.
That all appears to be going away; we are now at a crossroads where we will choose between our democratic republic, and a socialist society.
