PTBC reader Mister Kim sent me this video flick from singer-songwriter (and more) Terry Kelly. See if it doesn’t make you shed a tear or two. Then think about why it did.
Personally, I then found the urge to keep this web site going for another week. So thanks, Mister Kim—a great Canadian.

For all I know Terry Kelly doesn’t give a hoot about politics, and I am not trying to interpret what he’s saying here at all. But what I was feeling as I watched this video was about some of those liberals—Liberal Party supporters, NDP supporters, and some of their brethren in the liberal media and academia (and so on). I mean the ones who refuse to acknowledge that there is a cost to their freedom. The ones who constantly question our global commitment to fighting battles for peace and freedom and democracy and against Islamo-fascist terrorism. The ones who constantly undermine our nation’s resolve—for little more than cheap political and what I would consider to be anti-Canadian purposes. The ones who have such a cavalier ambiguity or outright resentment toward our nation committing—and our countrymen volunteering—to fighting as fiercely as required no matter what and no matter how long it takes—for peace and freedom and democracy. Will they be feeling reverence and respect and fondness and a deep abiding thanks to our veterans this Remembrance Day, or in fact feeling resentment toward them, and our nation, and our nation’ s noble history of fighting as fiercely as required in battles seemingly delivered straight from Hell, for our peace, our freedom, and our democracy?
I suppose the tear I shed was for the fact that I find myself having to commit incalculable amounts of time trying to convince Canadians—liberals—that we need to get behind our troops and their mission, because it’s really about getting behind Canada—and all the we stand “on guard” for.
They almost seem to stand for something else.
Look at the picture of the little girl. There’s no fear in her eyes!
