Many years ago there was a saying, “What this country needs is a good five cent cigar.” I suppose if that were updated, the cost of the cigar would be five dollars, and somebody wouldn’t let you smoke it. I used to smoke an occasional cigar when I rode my lawn tractor around the huge yard we had at the time. It took my mind off the fact that I had to mow that blame yard again.
Today, I don’t think even a five cent cigar would help. What this country needs is something to believe in. There is so much being done to destroy and divide the nation. If the people don’t stand up for tried and proven traditions and values and unite in the common cause, country before self, we will fall just as all great powers in history have fallen before us. Today, we are well on our way to self destruction.
Judeo-Christian beliefs and values were the cornerstone of America. Yes, there were and will always be injustices and dark periods as we strive to do better, but so long as the people as a whole hang on to and stand up for those values, America will be greater than any nation in the history of the world.
We must unite in one belief, for one cause - America first.
And, a good nickle cigar wouldn’t be a bad bonus. Even if it cost $5.00.
