Three Uniquely American Things to be Thankful For (2nd Release)

Topic: Perspective

It takes precisely zero analytical acumen to spin a list consisting of turkey, family, and football when reflecting on what we Americans must be thankful for, yet we see them every year.  It is never wrong to list things others take for granted on a list of things one is thankful for, given that many people across the world are starving to death and in lack of proper shelter and basic hygiene, but I believe we Americans have hope in many uniquely American things that drive our attitudes to invest in this nation and fight for her restoration.

I.               America’s Godly Founding

Our founders enshrined our liberties in America’s founding documents and described them as inalienable rights – rights that are impossible to take away.  They believed this because the Enlightenment period in Europe emphasized the belief that since man is made in God’s image, he is afforded dignity.  Those with dignity have rights.  After the noted failings of European nations to honor rights of free people, especially in England, the founders of the American nation built in maximum protections to protect the rights of our people.

This matters today because while our nation is under assault by radical ideologues who have broken our societal contract, the people must embrace the fact that as Americans, we are a free people whether the “greater magistrates” recognize that or not, and it is our duty to remind them of that and change course, first by exhausting every peaceful measure possible.  You are a free man or woman no matter what a tyrant has to say because your rights do not come from men and government.

II.             America’s Valiant Heroes

A small band of colonials overthrew the greatest empire in the history of man, while outgunned, outspent, outfed, and outnumbered.  Our forefathers, both northern and southern, pulled the nation together after a bloody Civil War, which paved the way for a national resurgence that was vital to saving the world from Nazism just eight decades later.

We pioneered manned flight, split the atom, put a man on the moon, cured many diseases, and freed more people from tyranny than any nation in the history of the world.  We were made for great things. 

We are not the nation of Pelosi, Ryan, Romney, Biden, Milley, Gates, Zuckerberg, or any other washed-up actresses and undeserving office holders.  We are the nation of Washington, Jefferson, Lewis, Clark, John Wayne, and Patton.  We have it in our DNA to overcome all obstacles and come out ahead.

III.            Our Love For Overcoming the Odds

General George S. Patton had this to say to troops just before the D-Day invasion in 1944:

Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit.

Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle.

You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else.

Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight.

When you, here, everyone of you, were kids, you all admired the champion marble player, the fastest runner, the toughest boxer, the big league ball players, and the All-American football players. Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser. Americans despise cowards.

Americans play to win all of the time. I wouldn't give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That's why Americans have never lost nor will ever lose a war; for the very idea of losing is hateful to an American.

My prevailing belief is that there is nothing for a free people to do but wholly resist the takeover of this country in all forms.  Contrary to previous fights, the majority is on our side now, especially when it comes to election fraud, tyrannical mandates, and the brainwashing of our children.  The grand deception that distorts the belief that we enjoy majority support is the fact that our elections are so heavily manipulated, the results oppose the obvious sentiment in favor of returning America to a recognizable state, causing many to be confused.

I would rather die fighting for what I believe in than live another sixty years in a country going the way it is going, and I know I am not alone in that sentiment.  I am joined by not only the “deplorables,” but by people in every trade and profession, economic tier, race, ethnicity, military rank, and in every location.  Today’s villains will be remembered throughout history as the worst of traitors, who sold their country out for political power, or tolerated top-down tyrannical mandates made for the ruling class to exercise control of the population they swore to serve and protect.

We are Americans and we have a proud national founding.  We should not let their vision go to the wayside because we are discouraged by yet another third-world election.  Rather, we should do what we have always done – rise to the occasion, put our best effort forward, and trust that God will do the rest.

Those are some things we should be thankful for that give us the reason to fight onward.
