Back in olden times as a student I was taught that a lodestone was that elemental compass that attracted iron and always pointed north. In literature, the guide stone pointed to the true path, lest one loses one’s way.

A fitting word of the day, on this Memorial Day, following this election.

The Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights are the lodestones of our Republic requiring the steel of will and the resolution to use the sword to defend against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

Good analysis, but today is Veterans Day, not Memorial Day.
