This is the Stuff We're Made Of

Salena Zito has a reminder in Townhall today of the sorts of people this country is really made of. It's not the zombie thugs dressed in black attacking and destroying at political rallies or the KKK morons, but the Texan who shows up in Houston and when asked by reporters what he's doing while unloading his boat simply says, "I am going to try to save some lives." It's the SWAT team guy carrying a mom and her child through the flood waters. Or the guy from New Orleans who said, "I will never forget how Houston opened its arms and welcomed my entire New Orleans. Stand by to return the love." This people aren't waiting for government direction or a government program to get started - they're just doing what has to be done to save fellow Americans. That's the stuff we're made of.
