Rebuilding A Nation

Well, the RNC Convention is over. 

I have noticed the fallout throughout liberal outlets trying to find something wrong to report on. With the really only singular potshot of note being the one aimed at Clint Eastwood and his speech at the Convention just prior to Marco Rubio who introduced Mitt Romney. This is a famed individual who gave the succinct unction that the liberal press either crucified him for, or simply under reported it.

“Given Clint Eastwood's movie roles, you might've thought his speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday would be a grim, stiff-lipped affair. Nope: The "mystery guest" amused the Tampa crowd with an unexpectedly goofy, off-the-cuff address. The Hollywood actor held a pretend conversation with an invisible President Obama ("What do you want me to tell Mr Romney? I can't tell him to do that himself"), zinged Joe Biden ("the intellect of the Democratic Party ... a grin with a body behind it"), and capped off by resurrecting his most famous movie line after prompts from the audience. "Go ahead," he started. The crowd finished: "Make my day." MSNBC

The speeches from all the expected speaker were quite good. My favorites were Ann Romney, Paul Ryan, Condoleezza Rice, and a very clear keynote by Mitt Romney himself. I was intrigued mostly by the humanization of all the speeches, yes they were political speeches designed to speak to differing issues, but each one held the human essence of each speaker. In other words, they put a face on the political exercise.

I truly believe that we can move forward, as a country, as a people, and as the melting pot of nations, race, creed, and political bent. It was made clear that we must raise the standard of the complexion of this nation, to one of unity, and through that lens we can embolden this country to excellence once again. That America hasn't failed, our current government has.

Again a resurgence of the importance of family, hard work, and the power of our faith, in God, this nation, and ultimately in each other. We are a nation like no other, and the pursuit of this excellence has defined us. So we must revitalize our national pride, not arrogance, that will fuel the recovery of these selfsame value that we hold dear.

God bless America
