American Mantle

America is in crisis. She can't be saved by jesters and hedgers.

America must be resurrected by political oratory. Podcasts and talk shows, lectures and sermons, books and audiobooks, articles and policy papers, conference talks and the like—all these have a due utility which is not at all insignificant. But they are not political oratory. Political oratory is distinct from them all, though it has the closest overlap to a sermon. A political orator may engage in some of the matters above, but such is not a prerequisite for political oratory, nor a proof of a man being fit and gifted for the same. In this respect, some make the mistake of conflating a podcaster or commentator with an orator. While somewhat understandable, it also serves as an indictment on the present state of political oratory and our expectations that this mistake is even made in the first place. In recognition of the importance of political oratory, especially given our present crisis, @spanglermt was tasked with the speech below. In addition, we have asked the Muster attendees if they have interest in speaking in the future. Quite a few have answered in the affirmative. We intend to give men the opportunity to test themselves, to see whether they have the gift, and, if so, to help them along. If you have interest in this matter or know someone who does, go to the American Mantle website, listen to Michael's speech on the topic (requires a free email account) to get an initial grasp of the matter itself. Then, assuming you agree with the basic content and exhortation, DM him or me. It is not necessary for you to have experience speaking, but that may help. Expect no flattery and much encouragement.

The horde of foreign trespassers upon American soil must vacate or be removed. This is one of the prime tasks of any American government worthy of the name.

Those who do not honor the past and the fathers will not have the honor of a future and progeny.
