Thurston told the committee that America being great is not simply about laws, rules, politicians, or even one party. In a resounding reminder, Thurston stressed how no one politician makes policy or law. According to Thurston, no one politician, regardless of party, can make the changes needed to keep America on a positive path. It requires many, as designed by the founding fathers, to point the nation onto the path of righteousness.
Throughout the speech, Thurston came back time-and-time again to one key point. He stressed that without putting God and prayer for intervention and guidance, no nation can continue to be great. In his closing remarks, Thurston not only stressed the need for prayer, but he provided a closing prayer for the committee, state, and nation.
Republicans are used to speeches promoting party policies, pointing out the errors of our opponents, or even pushing for valid and fair elections. Republicans do not need a reminder about the platform or the politics of daily life. Republicans need the reminder that Thurston hammered home with the guidance of a man speaking openly to people, not just Republican people, but all people, that God must be the guiding center for our nation. By rising above, Thurston not only shined as the keynote speaker, but he mapped out a path to continue the greatness that has made America a cornerstone and the object of envy to the rest of the world.
