Curtis Report: I see GHOSTS

Welcome to my world. In my world we have good and evil. In my world there are good guys and tyrants. My world enjoys epic clashes between the armies of light and darkness. In my world I see ghosts.

My ghosts are not the rumbustious scary type; neither are they the Casper the friendly ghost types. They are very much ghosts and very much my ghosts.

My ghosts appear not in the dead night but shine thru so gloriously with a certainty unrivaled by any adversary. The ghosts I see are the ghosts of patriots past. These amazing men and women haunt my soul, my hopes and dreams. They invade the spaces that are caused by doubt and fear.

Whenever my heart is heavy with the burdensome nature of freedom, I hear the booming and fearless voice of John Adams proclaiming “Always stand on principle….even if you stand alone.” In those heavy moments of need I hear him softly say; “Let us tenderly and kindly cherish therefore, the means of knowledge. Let us dare to read, think, speak, and write.” I do see ghosts.

When we look upon the face of our governments’ tyranny I am comforted by the bold words of Jefferson;” What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?” or to hear him proclaim “The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” I do see ghosts.

On the days on our struggle for freedom when it seems that much is lost, I see the ragged and tear damaged face of Mr. Lincoln and hear his stirring words; “I am exceedingly anxious that this Union, the Constitution, and the liberties of the people shall be perpetuated in accordance with the original idea for which that struggle was made, and I shall be most happy indeed if I shall be an humble instrument in the hands of the Almighty, and of this, his almost chosen people, for perpetuating the object of that great struggle.” I clearly hear Mr. Lincoln lament, “May our children and our children’s children to a thousand generations, continue to enjoy the benefits conferred upon us by a united country, and have cause yet to rejoice under those glorious institutions bequeathed us by Washington and his compeers.” I see ghosts.

Whenever the pressure of liberal assaults shifts its weight upon me I see the dogged face of Mr. Washington and hear him say unselfishly; “At a time, when our lordly masters in Great Britain will be satisfied with nothing less than the deprivation of American freedom, it seems highly necessary that something should be done to avert the stroke, and maintain the liberty, which we have derived from our ancestors. But the manner of doing it, to answer the purpose effectually, is the point in question. That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment, to use arms in defense of so valuable a blessing, on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion. Yet arms, I would beg leave to add, should be the last resource.” I see ghost.

My patriots go forward with the solid believe in the supernatural and see the ghosts of this nation’s keepers. Proclaim with unabashed shame that you see ghosts!

  1. What a wonderful tribute to our Founders! I can’t help but think of Ted Cruz (almost alone) tying to stand on principle against Obamacare. The evil that permeates Washington is like a growing cancer that will ultimately destroy our Republic and the RHINOS in DC are facilitating that end. Too bad we can’t seem to learn from the wonderful history that formed this great Country.
