Global Generation Republicans: The Next Birth of Freedom

by Rep. Thaddeus G. McCotter (R-MI)

They were “Wide Awakes” – scores of torchbearers marching through sleepy hamlets to herald the emancipation of a people from the bonds of slavery into God-given liberty.  These despised and decried champions of human freedom and defenders of American Union proudly called themselves “Republicans.”

Through the ensuing decades of political triumphs, falters and defeats, we Republicans never forgot our honorable heritage – until today.  Amidst the stormy present, some of our compatriots suffer from an apocalyptic intimation that America’s revolutionary experiment in human freedom and self-government is over.  They are wrong.

Throughout the life of the exceptional nation we’ve inherited from our parents and must bequeath to our children, America’s strength and salvation remains her free people.  They have and will never let her down.

Indeed, through history’s lens Global Generation Republicans glean the transformational challenges confronting our nation.

In their time, the Greatest Generation faced and transcended four transformational challenges:

1.       The social, economic and political upheavals of industrialization;

2.       A world war against evil enemies;

3.       The Soviet Union’s strategic threat and rival model of governance; and

4.       The moral struggle of the civil rights movement.

In our time, our Global Generation faces and must transcend four transformational challenges:

1.       The social, economic and political upheavals of globalization;

2.       A world war against evil enemies;

3.       Communist China’s strategic threat and rival model of governance; and

4.       Moral relativism’s erosion of our self-evident truths.
