Americans have rich history. Perhaps not as rich as the history of Russians or of Indians, but rich nonetheless, and sufficient to the need. We must embrace it all. It is all ours. Triumphs, embarrassments, defeats, losses, victories, gains, nobility and heroism, cowardice and diminishment, rich and poor, degeneracy and demagoguery, meaningful and meaningless, togetherness, alienation, beautiful, ugly, fat and thin, believer and unbeliever, murder and revenge, it’s all us. We are all of that. That is us. We are all of it put together.
A responsibility of American leaders is to foster Americans’ loyalty to their mother country by congratulating them on the rich multivariance of their history. Loyalty to the mother country is as natural to her sons and daughters as is loyalty to their natural mother, their mother language, and their mother religion.
- There are seven mothers altogether: earth, cow, religion, scripture, language, country, natural mother.
American leaders remove obstacles to Americans’ natural inclination to love their mother country, to accord her loyalty, and to be willing to sacrifice their life to protect her welfare.
Very long, ideological with respect to Zionist-Capitalists, yet thoughtfully useful and creative with respect to current geo-political solutions from the perspective of a Russian leader is this article, Sanctions on Russia & the limits to power for the hegemon, by someone using the nom-de-plume Straight-Bat. Putin, Lavrov, and Zakharova use less colorful language, but the article conveys the passion of a leader like them, one who cares for his country, in this case Russia, as well as for the serenity of all nations.
A leader cares for their country and embraces the whole of it and them, no exceptions. That plenary care for his / her country and countrymen makes a leader. Having a title does not make one a leader. Caring for one’s country and countrymen makes one a leader. See Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, Mohammed Bin Salman. These men and their wives care unconditionally for their country and their countrymen.
A leader cares so much that they embrace to their heart everything about their country, all her peoples’ wealth and poverty of character, experience, impulses and all, and they inspire — they do not ask, they inspire — their countrymen to do the same. This is why we have parades, ecclesial and secular, in which all countrymen process together behind their cynosure, such as a flag or cross.
A leader does not tell their countrymen that there is something wrong with them. He or she, by word, by demeanor, by act and thought, invites their countrymen to embrace their history to their hearts, all of their history, without exception, with all of their hearts. At root, a nation is a work of love.
People who embrace their history are
fearless and competent at living life.
Their drug is Vitamin G (God).
