Our flag, history,
and culture seem to offend many people these days, but our benefits don’t
offend anybody, other than perhaps a few hard-working taxpayers. Odd.
It is
remarkable—and very sad—how far we’ve come from the Bicentennial celebrations,
which, despite coming hard on the heels of Watergate and the pathetic end of
the Vietnam War, were almost universally and gleefully celebrated by all. Today,
in the lead up to the Semiquincentennial,
musical acts are pulling out of the official festivities
and mainstream media outlets are not lauding but trashing America every chance
they get. There is no overwhelming feeling of unity, pride, accomplishment, and
revelry.
Why? Our flag and our history haven’t changed.
Our culture has of course changed, but that is decidedly not the reason for the
listless observance. The woke-- and incorrect-- teaching of history is
partly to blame, with The 1619 Project and its ilk replacing a factual
recounting. However, the main problem is the 40, 50, 60 million or more illegal
aliens that have been allowed to invade this country from Islamic nations that
have no familiarity with liberty and the rule of law, and who hate America and
disdain its citizens. The impotent, spineless, and two-faced RINOs that
populate Congress also share in the blame and shame.
Adam Smith wrote, “There
is a great deal of ruin in a nation,” which he intended to mean that nations
can endure much in the way of mistakes and bad policies and still survive. But
this time there may be too much ruin from which the United States must recover.
Adam Smith did not anticipate today’s Democrat Party, which is filled with
America-hating Marxists and is fully capable of destroying even the strongest
of nations. With help from the ever-abundant RINOs, of course.
Massive institutional
fraud and staggering in-our-face election cheating, combined with an
inexplicable suicidal empathy for criminals, bad behavior, and outright evil,
are leading to an “American Denouement.” It does not have to end like this, but
will if MAGA types don’t gain the upper hand. I don’t agree with President
Trump on everything, have questioned his handling of the war with Iran, but if
Republicans don’t adopt his policies and temperament, their party—and this
nation—are doomed.
As a wise person
once said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men
do nothing.”
Yet, despite the
most egregious and damaging effrontery, most of us have not done enough to battle
the evil enveloping the modern world.
So, Eric, how do we
do this in spite of all the obstacles we face?
Never accede to a
lie, no matter who is telling it. Do not patronize entities that disdain you
and your views. Attend your caucuses. Run for local office. Don’t be afraid to
speak up. Our predecessors fought the British, twice, and the Germans twice.
They stormed the beaches at Normandy and Inchon. Surely we can speak, write,
and defend our beliefs, despite any threats we may receive. (And I have
received more than a few over the years.)
For me, it’s about
the founding values of truth, courage, and the unalienable rights we have been
granted by our Creator.
What else could
possibly be more important?
Winston Churchill
stated of Britain’s fight against the Third Reich, “We shall never surrender.”
FDR stated, “The
only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
My biggest fear
today is that we will surrender everything we have, including belief in
unalienable rights, in bizarre subservience to the hordes of Muslim invaders
“progressives” have let in to our formerly sovereign nations.
