This morning I recorded program 188 two days after the 245th anniversary of the ride of William Dawes, Paul Revere, and Samuel Prescott that occurred on April 18, 1775, to alert the colonists on the eve of the battles of Lexington and Concord, battles that precipitated the American War for Independence.  This event was immortalized in the poem Paul Revere's Ride by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  

I discussed the background of the poem, how it was written to appeal to the patriotism of our citizenry at a time when the USA was confronting internal issues that imperiled the nation, and how even today, internal enemies, such as Nancy Pelosi, are imperiling our Republic from within.  I quote extensively from Abraham Lincoln's 1838 address to the Springfield, Illinois, Lyceum, in which Mr. Lincoln warned of the danger of internal enemies. 

I conclude with a discussion of internal enemies Representative Nancy Pelosi and her general election opponent, both of whom hold views totally opposed to the foundational principles of the United States.
