There is so much to repair in America that I cannot criticize those who despair that we shall ever return to the glory days when we were a respected superpower in the world. We were not perfect then, but we acted from the right motivation, our devotion to freedom and its spread around the world.
The enemies of freedom resisted in the days following the end of World War II, but the Soviet Union collapsed as must all socialist tyrannies sooner or later. They have been replaced by an even worse tyrannical enemy, Islam and are told it is only the extremists we should fear. No, we must fear and defeat any manifestation of this cult. It hates women. It hates freedom of religion, of thought, of choice. It is a prison from which some former Muslims escape, but we need to welcome more refugees.
Here at home, the roads are full of potholes, the bridges are aging and in need of repair, and too many Americans are without work. The government tells us unemployment is at 7%, but it is actually closer to 15% or more. The government so routinely lies to us we have grown accustomed to it.
