And while our thoughts were with our heroes, Memorial Day weekend is also Raceday. After the events of Sunday, I do not care to think of the irony of the two National Guard sponsored cars encountering trouble en route to victory out of the final turn four in both in the Centennial running of the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR's World Coca Cola 600 in Charlotte.
In the political arena, many potential GOP Presidential candidates were out engaging the folks. This included a impromptu bus tour by Sarah Palin called the "One Nation" tour.
The tour is designed to celebrate America's exceptionalism, engage the history of what made this nation great, reconnecting with our founding fathers and restoring and building on the traditions that make America exceptional.
FOX News contributor Charles Krauthammer doubted we need anyone running around reminding about the Constitution and Gettysburg. Although I respect Krauthammer and generally agree with him, he is out to lunch on this one.
With huge numbers of America awash in guilty pleasures chronicling the lives of housewives and fresh tunes on American Idiot, indeed we do need refreshing on the pieces of historical foundation that has been laid throughout our history.
Michelle Obama said Barack Obama will make us change our history and traditions as he implements the fundamental transformation of America. Meanwhile, Governor Palin paints in bold colors as she correctly points out that America doesn’t need a "fundamental transformation," instead we need a restoration of all that is good and strong and free in America!
Certainly, that can include a thirst for learning all we can about those that paved the way in the fight for freedom. I encourage you to re-engage with our founders, and join Governor Palin in Restoring America and dicovering the great nature of our country.
Glenn Beck has led the way with his presentation of Founders Fridays last summer on his FOX News program. This past Friday, Glenn Beck was joined by David Barton as they re-visited some of the more popular topics and stories about our heroes.
