1. The leader of the United States of America before a special joint session of congress issued a call to the Nation. He did this one month after the USSR became the first nation in the world to put a man in space.

2. He asked the Congress and Nation to fund a human moon landing before the end of the decade. This was done because the nation was losing the space race to the nation of the USSR.
3. He called for the entire Nation to direct it's talents, it's resources and it's grit to achieve this goal. He believed if the USA did this it would show mankind that the freedom championed by the USA was a better choice than the communism/socialism championed by the USSR.
4. This did not start the space race that was started years earlier. The entire motive behind the moon landing was to prove one nation and it's ideals was better for mankind than another's. It was another battle of the cold war. A battle that the USA won on July 20th,1969.
5. One of the greatest achievements of man was brought about due to love of country and a desire to put America's ideals of freedom first.
6. If there was not a space race, if there was not a cold war, if there was not a battle between nations and their ideals, if nationalism didn't exist; the moon landing would never have happened.
7. The moon landing took an entire Nation focused on a goal. It took national leaders to direct resources and planning. It took Patriots to risk life and limb for their nation. It took a national population to support the effort. All of which needed the concept of "Nationalism".
8. The craft that took those American astronauts on the final leg of the journey to the moon was named the "Eagle". The national bird and symbol of the USA and on that day in 1969 the Eagle landed. Showing mankind that freedom was the best choice to accomplish the impossible.
9. The USSR lost that day. The left lost that day. Their concept of Marxism and communism lost that day. 100's of Millions saw that freedom was the answer to solve mankind's greatest problems.
10. The victory was not final and the battle of nations and ideals still raged until today. When the left lost their nation and safe space two decades later they still continued the fight. With no nation to call their own they now call for the end of all nations.
11. I suppose, if freedom does not have a nation defending it, a nation that uses that freedom to reach for the stars; the left feels they will have the final victory.
12. Maybe they are right. Maybe without a powerful nation defending freedom and individual rights within it's borders as well as exporting those ideals across the globe, the left can have a final victory and return the world to the time before the bell of liberty rang so loud.
13. I, for one, am not willing to take the chance they are right. I would rather continue to have the USA be a nation that defends the inalienable
rights granted by God to mankind. A Nation where the destiny of it's citizens are decided by it's citizens within it's borders.
14. I don't really care what the rest of the world decides to do. I have no power to impact their choices. However, as a citizen of this nation, I do have some small power to impact what happens within the borders of this great nation and I intend to exercise that power come Nov.
