David Brin: “About us, right now.”

Excerpt from David Brin's Two thoughts on July 4 – don't hand the revolution back. It's now.

And now, a fey moment that will give you chills and gird you for the fight.

He's talking to you

Something to try. Take a minute. Read Lincoln's Gettysburg Address – only envision he’s talking to you, right now.

About us, right now.


It’s shockingly pertinent. "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure."


Amen. He’s talking to you, this very moment, about this very moment. And every word is true, right now. Every word, right now. We are struggling against real enemies of this great experiment, to ensure "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom."


Moreover, if you can feel the power of the Great Emancipator pouring through you, read it aloud to that teetering RASR (Residually Adult-Sane Republican) you know. It's brief, potent – so recite it on the 4th.


And tell your RASR that yes, this is how we feel. And he needs to choose which side he is on, in this potentially lethal phase of our endless Civil War.

Make no mistake. Our enemies’ aim is the same as always — as Putin made clear when he laughed and told his puppet that the great "liberal experiment" was obsolete. He doesn't mince words. His axis of Kremlin-KGB agents, oligarchs, Saudi princes, casino moguls, carbon barons, mafiosi, Wall Street cheaters, communist despots, Fox liars and inheritance brats…

…they plan nothing less than to ensure that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall perish from the earth.
