Burke: Recognize that we are living through history in the making
I was a lobster-back reenactor, a British Redcoat for the 10 or so years my wife and I marched with the 1st Maryland Loyalist Battalion as we celebrated the American Revolution.
Our “hobby,” called “living history,” finds men and women portraying Roman Legionaries, medieval knights and Viking marauders, as well as Redcoats and Rebels, the Yanks and traitor-secessionists of the American Civil War and all sides of WWI and WWII.

But that’s not the type of “Living…History” I’ve got on my mind these days. Today, my focus is “living” the history being made every day: right here, right now.
And, I am sad to report, the history we are living is fast becoming the history of a nation in decline, a people who have allowed a callow, shallow, narcissistic, grifting, know-nothing, wanna-be dictator destroy much of what Americans have literally died for over the past 250 years.
