Rising Tiger Quotes

“There was no American Dream without those willing to protect it. Every citizen had a role to play. It required commitment, truth-telling, and a belief not only in what America was, but what it could be—a belief that its best days were always in front of it.”

“Every citizen had a role to play. It required commitment, truth-telling, and a belief not only in what America was, but what it could be—a belief that its best days were always in front of it. It also involved danger. For as long as America stood apart as a beacon of liberty, a place where the dignity and rights of the individual were prized above all else, it would attract the scorn and enmity of tyrannical governments and malevolent actors the world over.

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We don’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. And if we don’t do this, we will spend our sunset years telling our children, and our children’s children, what it once was like in America to be free.” That responsibility, Harvath had learned, required vigilance at home and abroad. There was no American Dream without those willing to protect it. Every citizen had a role to play.”

“Harvath hated the internet. He hated the political media complex even more. A bunch of loud-mouthed jackasses on the left and the right were getting rich by fomenting strife and convincing good Americans that their way of life was being destroyed by the other side. The truth was that Americans had it better than any other people at any other time in history. The United States was at the peak of the mountain—lean too far left, too far right, forward or back, and we risked losing everything. Instead of letting idiots on TV, radio, and the internet convince us that our good lives were terrible, we needed to be practicing gratitude. Only by recognizing how good we had it and being grateful for it would we ever hope to preserve it for the next generation. Frankly, there were days that the rampant stupidity in the United States”

“made Harvath want to suck-start his Glock. Lots of people were well-meaning, but they were lazy. They didn’t exert the basic duties of good citizenship. They believed anything and everything that flashed across their phone or computer screen. They believed that if they were in a group, or a feed, of like-minded people, all the information being pushed at them was true.

Being a responsible steward of the American republic meant doing the hard work of being truthfully informed.”

“Democracy wasn’t about how you were different, it was about how you were the same. It was about the rights and freedoms everyone enjoyed, and how everyone protected them. Democracy was also about your responsibilities, your duties, as a citizen. When people began to see themselves as members of a subset first, it was a flashing red light—a warning that a nation’s democracy was in peril. Factionalism was the opposite of patriotism.”
