Knee Deep in the Hooah!

I’m reading an interesting book. It’s really a collection of stuff. “The Patriot’s Handbook” by George Grant, Ph.D. is truly a primer for each new generation of Americans. Sadly, it is not oft read these days.

Take this little jewel for instance:

All temporal power is of God,
And the magistratal, His institution, laud,
To but advance creaturely happiness aubaud:

Let us then affirm the Source of Liberty.

Ever agreeable to the nature and will,
Of the Supreme and Guardian of all yet still
Employed for our rights and freedom’s thrill:

Thus proves the only Source of Liberty.

Though our civil joy is surely expressed
Through hearth, and home, and church manifest,
Yet this too shall be a nation’s true test:

To acknowledge the divine Source of Liberty.

- Samuel Adams

Oh my. He was so good they named a beer after him. What an honor. I’m glad it’s a pretty good beer but I would rather the honor be that this man’s spirit be found in our leaders of today.

Sadly, I think we are failing a nation’s true test.

The Patriot’s Handbook. Get one for your kids. Teach them the truth.

Mr.Hooah!, out.
