As citizens, we have tolerated the devolution of our republic into cults of personality. Rather than a spirited contest of ideas among a self-governing people, elections have become a spectator sport complete with pompoms, jerseys, and cheerleaders.
The result? We’re all losers.
We all must stop starring as martyrs in our self-devised tales of woe.
Those whose geopolitical aspirations are based on rewriting history are building on a shaky foundation of lies.
Independence was achieved when America’s Founding Fathers chose to declare it.
We can choose to approach life as a grumbler or as a happy warrior.
