It's A Free Country!

 September 18, 2025

   In case you had forgotten, there is a mysterious rider coming our way.

   He wears an old discarded U.S. flag as a badge of defiance.

It's true he started a war, the longest in the history of the United States. . .

And, he was an outcast in every way and in every region of the Southwest.

   Still, he rode on, high into the Sierra Madre in search of his best friend who he intended to capture and kill.

   He wasn't a very nice guy, but then he came by it honestly.

   Perhaps this reminds you of another classic American story?

"I would argue that The Searchers is the great American movie. It explores the three great American themes--racism, sexism and imperialism--as dramatically, cogently and coherently, as any film I've ever heard of."
