Do Or Don't

Democrats have become the new old men:

As often as not, American greatness has happened in an attempt to prove the “you can’t do thats” wrong. Rebellion is our founding myth, after all! We carved a nation out of a continent because we believed we could and were bold and young and inventive enough to try, not because we trusted the experts. Chuck Yeager was 24 years old when he broke the sound barrier. He did so with two broken ribs and closed his aircraft’s hatch with a broom handle because his injury wouldn’t let him reach the hatch. It’s a good thing OSHA wasn’t there to tell him that wasn’t safe! The youngest man who explored the Louisiana Territory in the Corps of Discovery was 17; at 33, William Clark was one of the old men of the group. The Wright brothers were in their 30s when their flyer lifted off at Kill Devil Hills. So save me the hand-wringing if some young men are here to help drain the swamp — the rest of America is happy to see them. Joe Biden was right about one thing: There is a battle for the soul of America. It’s the caffeinated real estate mogul and his millennial veep versus The Experts who have been running things into the ground and getting pensions for it. It’s the kids with new ideas versus the Chuck Schumer types, who are literally shaking their canes. It’s the people who believe in ordering their loves around their families and communities before the rest of the world, versus the people who care more about starting foreign wars than keeping your streets safe. The former kind of people built America — the people who were young and reckless enough not to realize they were doing things once deemed impossible. The latter category would have grounded Yeager’s plane for not being up to code and told Lewis and Clark their band of explorers didn’t have enough biracial lesbians in it. It’s not like statue-toppling, self-flagellating Democrats have made a secret of hating America. But their derision for American history has given way to derision for the American spirit, and it’s playing out with a candor that’s kind of amazing. The party that catapulted Barack Obama on the slogan “Yes We Can” has become the party of “No You Can’t.”

In spite of this, many Americans will still say "Yes we will..."
