FROM BAY BUCHANAN

I wanted to share some thoughts I receivied from Bay Buchanan.  Those who are on the TeamAmericaPac mailing list probably have already seen this:

I learned young from my uncle Regis, a Word War II veteran, an American hero we called Uncle Peachie.   

In the Second World War Uncle Peachie found himself in North Africa.  They would fight all day in the desert and push forward as far as they could.  At night they would sleep wherever they found themselves.  He spent months in the desert, at age 19, learning first hand the horrors of war. When word came that they had won this front the troops headed to town to participate in a victory parade.  Preferring to watch rather than be in the parade Uncle Peachie found a second floor balcony and waited.  As the procession of jeeps, tanks and soldiers turned the corner and came his way Uncle Peachie set his eyes on Old Glory for the first time in months and was overwhelmed with emotion. The American flag, he told me sent a tingling sensation through his body from toes to head and, he told me, he has never seen an American flag since that day without this sensation repeating itself all over again.

My uncle came back from the war and with his Silver Star in hand traveled to the home of the buddy he left behind in Africa.  There he told the parents about the final days of their son's life and gave them his medal.  He knew what it meant to be an American.

"Patriotism," my brother Pat writes, "is a passionate attachment to one's own country, its land, its people, its past, its heroes, literature, language, traditions, culture, and customs." 

Patriotism is what my uncle felt and what Americans everywhere feel when they see the flag, hear the anthem, or see an American soldier.  They so love America that when  reminded that they are among the privileged few who to call America home their eyes fill and their hearts swell.   

It is this deep love for country that makes Americans willing to sacrifice and die for it.  It is an appreciation of our greatness that places an obligation upon us to fight, protect, and preserve this nation, as those who went before us did.  Being an American is so much more than being born here -- it is unique experience, an unparalleled privilege, a gift from God.

That is beautiful MSBOBBIE.  I have always admired the Buchanans greatly.  They truly "get it."  

I feel we are being distracted with so many issues at once from a full frontal assault from th establishment.  I do not fear what Democrats and Republicans disagree on but rather what they do agree on , which is always a big step in the wrong direction.    We are being delivered into a global mosh pit of global control as we are taught to fear the bogus charges of " protectionism" or "isolationism" and watch our heritage be swept under the control of the PC globalist change agents.   America is losing what made her great.   I am a nationalist through and through.  You can never lead by conceding your principles.

AGREED! TG.

I am a big fan of Pat Buchanan and just love Bay to death.  I have met her twice.  She is very down to earth and I felt I was talking with someone I had known for years.  I once had a friend who had once been a neighbor of Bay's.  My friend told me "The Bay you see on TV is the same Bay that will come through your kitchen door in a housecoat and pour herself a cup of coffee"

Those Buchanan kids came from good stock.
