Closing Volume III... Starting Volume IV
I cannot let today pass without acknowledging our third blogiversary.
It's been a tough year. We knew it was going to be a tough one coming in, but we were at times surpised by disaster from unexpected directions. We have seen moments of terrible injustice, disturbing inappropriateness, and hilarious ineptitude.
That said, we have also seen moments of great determination and inspiration. Familiar faces wore new hats, and noble heroes followed radical saints to their great reward.
Skimming back on the year in our archives, I've barely begun to recap the best and worst of the last year. Take a trip through the months yourself and tell us in the comments what moments will be most memorable for you. And while you're doing that...
I think it's about time we started a tradition that Steve, Rick, and I have mulled over for some time. While skipping through the archives, and as our friends in the MSM begin their "Year in Review" pieces (like TIME Magazine's "Man of the Year"), take a moment to think who might deserve the honor of Black Republican of the Year.
While I am tempted to nominate our Secretary of State, and despite his many missteps throughout the year, I believe the man who made this happen may be the person most exemplifying the principles and ideals of The Black Republican: George W. Bush.
Who will you nominate?
Comments
One facet of Lincoln's greatness came to mind, his steadfast resolve to principle during trying times. And, while that trait may best be represented in President Bush's adherence to his vision of bringing freedom to the people's of the Middle East, some other names deserve mention.
Zell Miller for reminding America that this is not the Democratic Party of FDR, JFK and so many other patriots.
Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams (the smartest man in America?) each for the same reason, their indefatigable schooling of our minds made of mush. And their resolve to continue our education even while some demonize them as traitors to their race, (whatever that means).
Joe Lieberman for recognizing and loudly professing that the right course of action in defending our nation transends the personal political ambitions of his Party's so-called leaders.
