What Did You Expect Your Visitors To Say….?

By Sid Chadwick

INTRODUCTION:

The FIFA Games have brought far more to us Americans – than soccer and country game scores.

The “Far Left” and major networks’ biased reporting – got ambushed…and didn’t see it coming…!

The Norwegian Team “rowing up a Mall’s escalator” – I still love watching…and then they “practiced rowing and cheering” – for the home team as they again rowed – at a major league baseball game! (You can bet the SEC football cheerleading squads are already adopting and practicing – that style of cheer…!)

“Ranch Dressing” – is on its way to being tracked by the Federal Reserve as a major export item, helping our balance of payments, and holding-up the value of the U.S. Dollar….!

Indiana may forever now best be known for its “hash browns with gravy.”

And finding Waffle House at 1:00 am – well, most of us have been there at that time, at least once – but for our FIFA foreign visitors – they knew they had found “the promised land.”

Visitors captured unforgettable memories of the NBA Finals, and The Stanley Cup Playoffs – with the first ever Raleigh, NC Main Street Bus Parade (NC hosted four FIFA Teams), with Democratic Governor Josh Stein‘s praise at the podium – all leading up to several weeks – of our 250^th Birthday Celebration….!

SUMMARY:

In this rare period, our unique History is being told, and retold…with ever-richer perspectives – and details of truth.

From 1,458 words, and 56 signers of The Declaration of Independence, in 1776,  civilization made a far-reaching turn – toward creativity, innovation – and freedom.

Our Democracy and culture – are an imperfect gift to the World, which we keep rewriting – and publishing – towards perfection.

And from the feedback our visitors are giving us – those dynamic gifts of Opportunity, Culture – and Government – so distinctly American – we keep working – to make better – and are doing much better – than we were probably aware.

That’s who we are.

Happy Birthday, America….!
