My Christmas Prayer …

Give Us Men!

Give us Men!
Men-from every rank,
Fresh and free and frank;
Men of thought and reading,
Men of light and leading,
Men of loyal breeding,
The nation’s welfare speeding;
Men of faith and not of fiction,
Men of lofty aim in action;
Give us Men-I say again,
Give us Men!

Give us Men!
Strong and stalwart ones;
Men whom highest hope inspires,
Men whom purest honor fires,
Men who trample self beneath them,
Men who make their country wreath them
As her noble sons,
Worthy of their sires;
Men who never shame their mothers,
Men who never fail their brothers,
True, however false are others:
Give us Men-I say again,
Give us Men!

Give us Men!
Men who, when the tempest gathers,
Grasp the standard of their fathers
In the thickest fight;
Men who strike for home and altar,
(Let the coward cringe and falter),
God defend the right!
True as truth the lorn and lonely,
Tender, as the brave are only,
Men who tread where saints have trod,
Men for Country, Home- and God:
Give us Men! I say again- again-
Give us Men!

-Josiah Gilbert Holland

Let’s See Some PASSION, Some Conviction! PLEASE!

balls, boldness, courage, daring, PASSION, please, Trump

With the multitude of candidates all professing the urgent need for a change from the promised “Hope and Change” of the current administration, it deeply saddens and disappoints me that not one of these laudable candidates has dared to cross swords with Obama on any of the multitude of available topics.

This is exactly why Donald Trump gained such quick support. He has, if you’ll excuse the vernacular, BALLS! Balls to challenge China on import tariffs, balls to confront OPEC, balls to reclaim America for Americans – or legal immigrants, balls to stand for his convictions – right or wrong! It will take courage to draw a line in the sand for the gathering opponents of freedom! It will take monumental confidence and daring to make the spending cuts necessary to get the soaring budget under control. While there is no need for rudeness, there is every need for boldness … and I’m not seeing it in the current field of candidates. I hear the right words, but don’t see followup action! Come on … do you believe what you say or what???

Obama is leading from the rear of the pack, so just about anyone is an improvement, but PLEASE …

Let’s see some PASSION, some conviction! PLEASE!!!!!!!
