During our recent discussion we talked of Harry S Truman and Lincoln. Both war leaders and in the case of the latter, he would see the wounded from Bull Run, Chancellorville or the Wildnerness up close in the DC hospitals. I cannot imagine how they kept up their courage in the face of such difficult times. I suspect part of it was a deep belief in their values, including the worth of this nation. The current era and our crop of performative, juvenile politicians can be discouraging. But Lincoln lived over 150 years ago and our Republic endures. I believe, strongly, there is an undercurrent to this nation, based on its ideals that saw us through a Civil War, two world wars, and the 1960s, and we are still here.
I was a child alive in the 1970s (not all of the Freemen News contributors were!) and though Jmmy Carter did not acually say "Malaise" that was the feeling of the 1970s. The communists ascendent, Iran gone, our cities unliveable, we could barely get gasoline, loans had double digit interest. And since then arguably the greatest prosperety a people have ever known.
