Though there are some in this country, and apparently a disproportionate number these days, who'd like to pursue a system of governance and rule that's proven time and time again throughout the ages to fail in misery and destruction (i.e, socialism, or rather, statism), we are nonetheless reminded during this time of the year of a Creator who saw fit to set this Nation aside as an Exceptional place for Freedom in the world. 'This last and greatest bastion of freedom' and 'a beacon of hope', as Reagan would say. It is a time to reflect and be thankful of the Blessings bestowed on us, as well as a time of Prayer for preservation and against diminishment.
So, without further adieu, Rush's annual 'true' story of Thanksgiving!
Over your Thanksgiving celebration with family and friends, I'd also like to leave you with these great words from President Reagan's First Inaugural Address...
The crisis we are facing today does not require of us the kind of sacrifice that...so many thousands of others were called upon to make. It does require, however, our best effort, and our willingness to believe in ourselves and to believe in our capacity to perform great deeds; to believe that together, with God's help, we can and will resolve the problems which now confront us.
And, after all, why shouldn't we believe that? We are Americans.
God Bless and have a great and bountiful Thanksgiving!
