Great essay.
Your lips to God’s ear.
Great work, Shibumi!
Thank you, very much.
Excellent essay, shibumi.
*In God we trust* and thank you for including me in your ping, my dear friend. You’re truly a talented writer. I’m bookmarking now for safekeeping! Hugs and Prayers Always.
In God we ~do~ trust, which is why they’re so busy erasing Him from the public record. He doesn’t hold with bureaucratic prevarication.
When Ronald Reagan was elected president I was still a little over a month away from birth. As a child I knew my parents liked him, but that was the only perspective I had on that time in our country’s history.
As I got older, and more informed, and better acquainted with who President Reagan was I began to appreciate him immensely, probably because to me he is more of a legend. It helps that I’ve been to his presidential library a few times (and it’s awesome, if you haven’t been there put it on your bucket list).
I was too young to watch, much less understand, speeches like the one where he demands Gorbachev to “tear down this wall.” I can’t view it now without getting chills.
What I wouldn’t give to have such leadership in my lifetime. Leadership that doesn’t just inspire us to be better, but makes us feel compelled to be better.
I would give even more to have a leader again who finds success by seeking God...and not after the whole world has sniffed him out to be either Muslim or atheist like a certain sitting POSOTUS (not a typo, think about it).
Thank you for sharing this with us Shibumi. I share the sentiments of praise you’re receiving for this piece. I loved it too. :-)
Great post sir- this tepid environment for entrepreneurs is what makes socialist Europe feel so stale economically, there’s simply not all that much new going on... be it retail, net startups, what have you
Great job!!! (as always).
It’s funny, but when Reagan was in office he was chastised as a poor leader. Looking back, he is now held in high esteem as one of the greats.
Twenty years from now, how will we view Obama? Will the next President lead the nation from it’s current turmoil, only to have Obama credited as being the one to start the wheels in motion?
I think history teaches us a lesson, and as we move intot he future, we should be careful how we write that history.
The Liberals (Communists) never miss a chance to rewrite the history books.
