Happy Thanksgiving
As of now, we still have a firm hold on the legal structure of our liberties, which is, of course, The Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution. The people in Washington frequently find this annoying, as well they should. The Constitution was specifically designed to annoy the central government. It is critical, however, that the people, and particularly our legislators, understand this. As it is proclaimed at the Alamo Monument, “Freedom isn’t free!” There is a price, and historically that price has been paid more often in blood than in cash. This idea is frequently labeled “extremist” by the Left, and it may indeed be so, but this nation was founded by extremists, and what we may be thankful for at this Thanksgiving holiday is the fact that extremists made this country “the last, best hope of earth.”

Well put, indeed. Happy Thanksgiving, Claire!

One thing I am thankful for, in an ironic sort of way, is that the United States has been so good at protecting our freedoms that many people think it just happens automatically now. And because they think it is automatic, they don’t understand why we must defend it now and in the future. I am afraid that many of them will never understand it until despotism is howling at them from their own doorstep. Which I hope will never happen, but fear that it is more possible, the less vigilant we are.
