I normally like to start a blog post with something light, pithy and a little silly. But I'm not feeling that way today. I'm not exactly depressed or sad, but I am feeling the weight of the world right now, for many reasons, some personal, some political. So I'm not going to sugarcoat things. America is hurting right now. The world is hurting right now, of course, but this blog is about America and what I love about our nation. That is no slight to the horror in the rest of the world, but I feel its important to frame things here to not lose the point. Those on the political left likely are hurting for a lot of reasons that I can't fully speak to as an outsider. I imagine this has been a difficult year to watch this new presidential administration enact policies they oppose and speak in ways the reject. I imagine there's a lot of pondering next steps, where to go forward, and how to win the next elections. I'm not on the left though, so I won't put words...
Our fathers pledged everything. Will we?
