As I drove across America this summer, I met scores of beautiful people - ordinary Americans, generous, open, folksy, even self-deprecating Americans - who seemed to inherit either through the blood that flowed in their veins or by a transfusion of that blood, a unique albeit subconscious awareness of their unique destiny amongst the nations.
Thank you for this wonderful summary of the goodness of God and all the people He has created. Many of our Founding Fathers were learned of the Bible and had the wisdom of God. Many of us were praying and fasting for God’s mercy. We do know that: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD.” And we have been praying for Spiritual Revival and Unity, since we know a House divided against itself will not stand. It has been wonderful to be a part of people coming together and seeking the LORD.
And they also were very well read in the Greek classics, Locke, Hume and other Scottish philosophers. The upshot is that we still take the implied “social contract” very seriously-including an irrepressible urge to call out government overreach.
As well as the Italian Enlightenment thinkers— a fact which has been erased sorrowfully, from our history books. The next door neighbor of Jefferson, Filippo Mazzei, is given credit on a plaque at Monticello for originating the phrase, “All men are created equal,” a very Christian philosophical notion.
Dear Dr. Christian-- Thank you so very much for your stunning essay.
Peter and I completely agree that the election is "A sign that God in His Mercy has decided to give America and the world another chance, another lease of life." and we are deeply grateful.
We are also deeply grateful for friends all over the world who have not turned their back upon America when she has stumbled. Thank you for being our friend, and America's friend. ~Ginger
Praise the Lord for His great goodness! Thank you for your insightful post! As a Canadian, I feel the same! God bless you and yours for being a voice for the truth!
We have an exceptional Almighty God giving the USA aother chance to do good to women and children and not evil. We must open all schools with the Lord's Prayer that ends with "Keep us from evil," or some may say, the evil one, the deceiving Devil/Satan and his fallen angels.
With God’s help we have persevered. Now we must fight the evil that still exists in our country and the world. We must stop the mutilation of our children, the forces of censorship and crimes within our cities among others. In the world we must use our influence to stop the perpetual wars and bring peace to those countries ravaged by war. I pray we are successful!
That was truly wonderful. Thank-you for sharing it. One of the best books I've ever read on this topic is, "A Brilliant Solution": Inventing The American Constitution, by Carol Berkin. I highly recommend it.
The copyright date is 2002. At the time, Carol Berkin was a professor of American History & deputy executive officer in the history PhD program at the City University of New York & Baruch College. That will give you some background on the author. The book tells the compelling story of what transpired in Philadelphia in the summer of 1787, when a group of lawyers, politicians, & ordinary men met to fashion & create the illustrious document that we know as The American Constitution. She makes you feel as if you are actually there among them, as they go through the trials & tribulations that it took to create this document. Once you have read it, I doubt that you will forget it. I read it many years ago, & it is always within reach - that is how much I enjoyed it.
Thank you! As a Canadian, you are certainly more schooled in our history than many Americans. I hope and pray that Canada will continue the momentum that manifested with your wonderful truckers! May God bless America and Canada. ❤️
This was produced 51 years ago by Gordon Sinclair, Canadian radio and TV personality, expounding his appreciation of Americans. What was true then is still true today. I hope it makes people feel good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4i3LmR0K74
I'm not as sunny about Trump, but I would have voted for him for sure if I wasn't a Canadian citizen (probably still could have voted for him, if I was in California).
Trump is an imperfect human, but in a time when the truth is outlawed, only an outlaw can tell the truth. How many of us could have suffered the slings and arrows (and bullets) that come with saying things like "we need to control the border" and "men can't become women" and other things that get you excommunicated. Even though 5 minutes ago they were mainstream Democrat talking points.
Only Trump was Trump enough to be Trump. And in the current political milieu, only someone with his unique, impermeable personality could have done what he did. And the fact that he got voted in SOLIDLY should make it obvious that he was what America needed at this moment - warts and all.
(Spoken as a Canadian who has spent a total of several years of his life in the USA, and has gone from feeling superior and being derisive about Americans - as we Canadians are taught - to someone who has great respect for the American people and this great big messy experiment that is America in 2024.)
Now let's replace all the corrupt heads of Government with those that were brave enough to stand their ground during C19. These warriors are to now be rewarded to be the agents of change in these agencies.
You had better get work to purge the American education system of Woke Marxists. They are still fully empowered to continue poisoning the minds of your children with DEI ideology and perversions like transgenderism. Otherwise America is doomed regardless of who is in the White House.
This is a 'Feel Good' piece generally raising the experience of the U.S. into the heights; when in fact the people have now witnessed the true threat inherent to our way of life. It's only a first step back to SANITY and the promise of our Lord Jesus for the faithful. Seems there were still enough of God's people willing to pray, sacrifice, worship, praise yet remaining to appeal to God to again bless the U.S. and the world.
There is MUCH work to so to restore the world's REPUBLICS aligned with the U.S; especially Canada, Australis, New Zealand and the U.K., itself...The origin of all this hullaballoo to begin with. The peoples of those nations have suffered beyond those in the U.S. Doubtless, the peoples of those nations now witnessed the need for PERSONAL PROTECTION guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment as well as the need for their Constitutions to DEFINE UNALIENABLE/CIVIL RIGHTS which helps 'the people' to better determine when tyranny IS OCCURING. An ARMED Republic has DETERENCE even the evilest Philanthropaths of the mega-wealthy consider before perpetrating outright war.
The Central Bankers, Monarchs/Peers, Conglomerates, Philanthropaths with their NGO's and most of their SLAVES; the treasonous Govt. Puppet Minions are now exposed. It's up to 'The People' to remove these Demons Hiding in Human Being Suits from power. Time to indict, try and hold them accountable to the fullest extent of CONSTITUTIONAL LAW they suspended under illegal regulations, as possible.

Some of us do.
The educated class of Americans in our urban centers couldn't line up fast enough to take these jabs, or to turn on their neighbors who didn't.

Can you summarize, please?

From one Canadian to another. That was a beautiful message.
And this Canadian as well. You make me proud.

Everyone hates John Wayne until their wagon train is being attacked.

God has blessed this country despite our human flaws.
Never underestimate We the People.
