You were surely dangerous to our enemies. I now find unabashed patriotism, which you often engender, is dangerous domestically.
I had the pleasure this morning of attending a Veterans' Day presentation at the Lake Highland Preparatory School in Orlando, Florida.
I was shocked. I wasn't sure such still existed in America: exuberant patriotism, celebration of America, of God, of all our blessings and those who have fought to ensure they continue.

There were probably 200 kids on that stage, dressed in red, white and blue, at times camouflage. There were no apologies for our country's greatness. Instead, a celebration of it.
Members of the military, current and past, were profiled, celebrated, shown in person and in video. Patriotic songs were sung with glee. A pledge to the flag was given, including that "one Nation, under God" part. God showed up a few times. I think he was pleased with the casting call.
Yes, patriotism is dangerous. To the Left. They likely wouldn't have so enjoyed this soaring, amazing, very traditionally American show.
If anyone there needed it, it was a terrific reminder of how fortunate we are to live in this country. It served to remind us to be thankful, to be proud, to be resolved, that others before us have encountered obstacles, difficult times and situations and persevered. No, many who are on the Left in this country would surely not have liked it.
Patriotic types such as myself no doubt loved it. Maybe even some who hadn't seen themselves as that before. And that's why such is so dangerous to the Left.
As always, great blog. I remember Veteran's Day parades in my hometown of Augusta, Ga when I was a kid but we haven't had one in several years! What...a...shame! Thank you for your blogs and your page on facebook. It allows patriots all over to communicate, vent, and bond together our ideas, concerns, and worries. It lets us know that we are not alone and that there is hope that things will get better. It may be a long, dark road we face, but it will get better and we will be better for it! LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC!
