What makes America great
Some thoughts on the State of the Union speech. A powerful, effective speech all the way around. You've got to love Bush. He is pure Texan. You'd think that liberating 50 million people would be enough for the guy, but he's not about to back down or slow down. It is full speed ahead on a full agenda.
But at its heart, the speech was pure inspiration. Seeing a purple finger or two was a reminder of the power and dignity that the franchise gives to ordinary people. The Iraqi woman was a powerful symbol of freedom taking root in the rocky soil of the Middle East. But most of all, I was struck by the sight of the parents of the Texas marine killed in Fallujah. Apart from the obvious emotion of the moment, I was amazed just looking at those parents because they were simply so amazingly normal. Just your basic red-blooded American mom and dad. They looked like any normal American couple that you would find on any street in any town in this country. I suspect their son was much the same (aside from the high and tight haircut).
It is the ordinary people, like that family, that make America so great. Somehow, our country continues to produce ordinary people of conviction and strength, and those ordinary people do extraordinary things. That is the true strength and power of America, and I was awstruck at the power and simplicity of it all last night.
