Celebrate America This Thanksgiving
Weekly Update from Dinesh D'Souza
Dear Friends,
On Thanksgiving Day in 1982, President Ronald Reagan said that he has "always believed that this anointed land was set apart in an uncommon way" and that "a divine plan placed this great continent here between the oceans to be found by people from every corner of the Earth who had a special love of faith and freedom."
President Reagan was right. America has had an entirely uncommon history, one that sets us apart from the rest of the world. America invented the idea of wealth creation. America was the only nation to fight a great war to end the injustice of slavery. America is the only nation to win wars and not take spoils of land or oil. Since the beginning, America has been set apart for lovers of freedom and justice.
Tomorrow, as you take time away from busy work schedules, hectic family activities, and the distractions of everyday life, take a moment to reflect on the exceptional circumstances we find ourselves in this nation that God has chosen for a special purpose.
Consider our Christian counterparts in other corners of the world, afraid to be caught with a Bible. Consider those who seek freedom in nations that bar free speech. Consider those who seek justice in nations without an independent judiciary. Tomorrow, reflect on a nation that is truly exceptional—ours.
President Reagan called on us all to “ ask what we can do as individuals to demonstrate our gratitude to God for all He has done" on Thanksgiving. "Such reflection," he explained "can only add to the significance of this precious day of remembrance."
As you gather with friends and family tomorrow, consider watching America the movie to have a discussion about what makes America great. The film considers a course for our nation by first examining our past. Is America a nation truly set apart, or is it a nation built on theft, shame, and genocide as the left claims?
