In the history of the United States of America – there have been few (arguably not any) men who so epitomize the type of person that has earned the opportunity to be president of the United States of America. John McCain is one such man. I have not always agreed with his politics – but there is one thing that is undeniable – he is a man of principle. He gave five years of his life, in service of his country, in a North Vietnamese prison camp. Think about that – he served his country and the cause of freedom – in an enemy prison camp. None of us – can understand service like that. None of us can understand sacrifice like that.
I thought this video was inspiring. Just overlook the Lee Greenwood cheese at the end.
And when you have watched the video, think about how next week, at this time, the president-elect won’t be the man who champions freedom. It will be the man who believes that freedom is a mistake. Our next president will be just five years removed from the Illinois State Senate and just ten years removed from being a glorified community organizer.
Think about it.
