We are Americans!
By Robert Kirk
As we celebrate the founding of our country this July 4, my thoughts were drawn to the late Lloyd Marcus. A profoundly Christian man with a can-do positive spirit, Lloyd was a frequent contributor to American Thinker.
I first met Lloyd in 2018, two years before his untimely passing on July 24, 2020, when he retained me to produce a music video for his spiritually uplifting and deeply patriotic song “We Are Americans.” It was an honor and a privilege to have my tribute to Lloyd, a good and a Godly man, published in American Thinker.
There have been many miracles attending Donald J. Trump, not the least of which was his narrow escape from the assassin’s bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania. Following Trump’s election in November of last year, I was inspired by another seeming miracle to update the portrait montage of the “We Are Americans” music video to include portraits of several brave Americans who had the courage to come alongside Donald J. Trump prior to November 5 in support of his election as the 47th President of the United States.
Yes, there was a dust-up the first week of June — which, unfortunately, resumed in early July — that made me think I might have to do another revision of my video, replacing the shot of Elon Musk holding his thumbs up with one of an extended forefinger. I restrained myself in that regard because of the apparent miracle of unity that happened in the lead up to the election. For me, the important thing is not that Musk’s super-genius idiot savant–level brain can occasionally spin off into hypo-manic hyperspace. What impressed me most about Musk (and several others referenced in my video) was his (their) courage in crossing party and political lines in coming out in support of Trump prior to the November election.
