One act of courage can reverberate through the centuries and millennia.
The past two weeks of political upheaval have cemented the notion that this year’s election cycle is anything but ordinary, not that there ever is an ordinary election. Biden’s public disappearing act, reminiscent of his 2020 campaign, has culminated in a resignation letter of unknown origins and a phone call to promote the least popular VP in history to the Democrat frontrunner for the Oval Office. The act made history by affording the first half-black descendant of a slave owner to be their winning ticket. Oh yeah, and she is a woman in the traditional sense, defined by her shenanigans pertaining to political ascendency.
Oh, how the political deep state has worked its black magic to afford a person who could not garner one percent of the popular vote in her initial run for the Office to attain a second run for the honorable position. But I find no honor in her political mores, and her ascendency provides no comfort to mend the nation’s internal and international wounds.
Contrast her intense cackling and incoherent babble in defense of indefensible and unattainable political policies and aspirations to that of a girl who defied a king.
The Patron Saint of Barcelona is a girl named Eulalia who, in the year 303, confronted the Roman governor Dacian, serving under the Emporer Diocletian, because of their horrific persecution of Christians. She not only told Dician to stop the slaughter but adamantly defied him by refusing to renounce her faith. Her reward for such courage was an arrest, torture so horrific and appalling it is a wonder she survived to be executed on a cross shaped like an X and left to ridicule in public display on February 12. How old was this young lady of virtue and otherworldly courage? Thirteen!
We would do well to take her example as inspiration to ignite that celestial fire within in defiance of the cabal whose aim is to destroy these United States and the once-guaranteed Freedom she inspires. Our legacy could echo its passion and power after the next millennia.
