We Are The Last Bastion Of Freedom The World Has Left. If You Don't Like It, Leave
[RedState] The United Kingdom has fallen. The United States of America is the last, best hope of mankind; and it must stay that way. In 1964, Ronald Reagan delivered one of the greatest pieces of oratory of all time—he called it "A Time For Choosing," others simply referred to it as "The Speech." In it, he committed, "we’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness." At that time, I don’t think the future President was exactly correct, other places in the world were still free, and capable of standing up to the forces of Communism and enslavement spreading throughout the world. This fact is exemplified in the creation of NATO. America wasn’t the only hope of the world, though we were definitely the strongest. Now, however, those words can almost be interpreted as prophetic. In 2020, we are the last bastion of freedom. Other competitors for this position, even with their amazing history of freedom preservation, have dropped out, with probably the most prominent being the U.K. The country that once influenced our country to become what it is now, isn’t recognizable today. Though the U.K. occupied and often fought with other countries, it was the 20th century that would prove where the Kingdom’s true loyalties lied. In World War One and World War Two, the United Kingdom was effectively the only power standing between world domination of fascism, and freedom—it was the force keeping evil, in the form of Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and fascistic Italy, at bay. Even before those two great wars that tested the fortitude of the great nation, it was the ideas put forward by Great Britain—equality and freedom for all regardless of skin color or creed—that would help shape a new nation founded upon those same values, with even more potential: the United States.
