In a recent visit to Poland, a spirited rally took place at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), where attendees came together to celebrate freedom and the values that uphold Western civilization. The excitement in the air was palpable as a prominent conservative figure addressed the crowd, full of gratitude for the Polish people and the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with them. With charm and a sprinkle of humor, she expressed her appreciation for the event’s organizer, Matt Schlapp, and his family, whose hard work made this gathering possible.
The speaker took the audience on a trip down memory lane, recalling a pivotal moment from eight years ago when former President Donald Trump stood before the Polish people with a potent question: did the West possess the will to survive? This question hung in the air like a challenge, encouraging each listener to ponder their own role in defending the values of freedom and security. With a swish of her hand, the speaker emphasized that President Trump has always believed in the resilience of the West, and she was there to champion that belief.
Poland’s history of bravery and fortitude was highlighted as a shining example for other nations. Unlike some of their European neighbors who may have faltered in the face of migration challenges, Poland has maintained strong borders and has taken significant steps to protect its citizens. The speaker praised the Polish leadership and their commitment to ensuring that the safety and values of their civilization remain intact. Her enthusiasm was infectious as she rallied the crowd around the idea that what they have achieved should not be taken lightly; they have written a different story, one of strength in the face of adversity.
However, with these commendations came a stark warning. The speaker raised the alarm about potential threats to Poland’s hard-won security, pointing out that a political shift could jeopardize the protective measures currently in place. She painted a vivid picture of a possible future that echoed the struggles faced under the Biden administration in the United States, causing many to nod in agreement. The anticipation of the upcoming election became a rallying call, urging Polish citizens to remain vigilant and to protect their borders and freedoms at all costs.
In a heartfelt moment, the speaker shared her own story—a down-to-earth, relatable account of her upbringing. She described herself as just a farmer, a rancher, a mother, and a grandmother, evoking laughter from the audience as she reminisced about her father’s robust way of waking the children—his own version of a John Wayne-style motivational call to action. With a gentle reminder of the lessons instilled by her father about the importance of liberty, she sought to impress upon the crowd just how critical it was to defend their rights, which, as she noted, come not from government but from a higher power.
As she concluded her passionate address, the message rang clear: Poland’s independence and values are worth fighting for every single day. It was an evening charged with hope and determination, reminding everyone present that safeguarding their way of life requires unwavering commitment and courage. The spirit of freedom, much like the famed cowboys of old, galloped through the hall as the crowd left inspired, ready to take on the challenges ahead.
