Today’s clip is about where we were, where we are, what we are up against, and why we need to persevere as a nation under attack from without and within. It is a testament to the value and purpose of liberty—the why of the American Revolution and the American experiment.
Ben Domenech made these remarks on Fox News over two years ago. I saved the clip becasue it struck me as moving. One of those somethings we need to revisit every 6-12 months to remind us that the battles are worth fighting, the war worth winning. I have a list of them.
- Angelo Codevilla’s “America’s Ruling Class and the Perils of Revolution“
- Theorode Dalrymple’s “Don’t Legalize Drugs.”
- Albert Jay Knock’s “Our Enemy the State” (published 1935)
- Ken White’s “Free Speech Tropes” (a free-speech lawyer on flawed free speech arguments).
- Emmantize the Eschaton
There are others, but let’s focus on this. The culture war, the border war, the war against free speech, religion, culture, and the rule of law. We are fighting rampant generational theft by unaccountable elites (to name but one timely issue given the shutdown theater), but America is worth fighting for, and Ben Domenech did a damn good job – in my opinion – framing why.
