FREEDOM, DEMOKRASI AND CIVILISED HUMANITY
In defense of freedom, democracy and civilised humanity is an increasingly intolerant western world.
Bluegrass musician Del McCoury turns 82 years old today and is still working.
His career in music goes back to 1958.
His two sons Ronnie and Rob have been in his band for 27 years.
The above word art is a visual transcreation of Tim Goldich‘s words: “Many a feminist rejects marriage, home, family, and parenting. But, how beautiful all of those things can be. Del McCoury’s connection with his sons shows that there’s nothing more wonderful than family.”

In 1863 Mark Twain (born on November 30 in 1835) wrote: ” ……. we glorious Americans will occasionally astonish the God that created us when we get a fair start.”
With his ability to cut through and communicate to conservative America Donald Trump shows an irreverent ability to maintain his own free spirit which much of the world doesn’t understand.
He is Archie Bunker in the White House.
His followers love him for what he is.
How will he surprise us next?

America’s innate freedom is a bright light for the world – heavenly, beaming, the lifeblood of The West.

Some of the above colours are from the flag of the borough of Gettysburg, in Pennsylvania.
I believe the global significance of The Trump Presidency lies in two genuine commitments: to Freedom and to Peace.
Because I love of all things to do with 1945, I want POTUS 45 to have a two term presidency.
I hope that can happen peacefully.

Lest We Forget.
Freedom Works.

American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead died on November 15, 1978.
We still struggle to know what to change and what to maintain.
Lest We Forget to think.

When two old white guys get together, there is no telling what might happen.

When America’s great hero Annie Oakley said, “Families are nothing other than the idolatry of duty.” and “Housework is work directly opposed to the possibility of human self-actualization.” she could have been reading from the modern feminist playbook.
I think she was way ahead of her time.
But Annie Oakley was no man-hater. She worked well with men all her life.
My friend Shelly of Houston seems to me to echo Annie’s spirit when she writes about getting free of a marriage destroyed by her ex-husband’s infidelity:
The American capacity for self correction constantly amazes me.
Robust freedom of speech is at the core of this strength.
I believe that, on many fronts, conservatism in America needs to reinvent itself to fulfull its essential role of preserving the best of America.
