I want to end the year with an optimistic article by historian Victor Davis Hanson. Despite being told numerous times that America was going to soon be eclipsed by the New World Power du Jour, we have soldiered on and continued to lead the world again and again. Americans are a resilient people and while we have made mistakes, we reinvent ourselves as necessary and come out even stronger. You can never forcibly harness the restless energy of 308,000,000 people, but you can inspire them and, when inspired, America is a force to be reckoned with. Inspiration starts with God and that's where we need to start 2011. We have lost our way for a little while, but I am certain that with God's help, we will again be the America that leads the world. Happy New Year.
