“The values
that Americans say define the national character are changing, as younger
generations rate patriotism, religion and having children as less important to
them than did young people two decades ago,” according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC
News poll.

“Among people 55 and older, for example, nearly 80 percent said patriotism was
very important, compared with 42 percent of those ages 18-38 — the millennial
generation and older members of Gen-Z.”
I wondered the other day how long it had been since I heard the song
“America the Beautiful”. “O beautiful
for Pilgrim feet, whose stern impassioned stress, A thoroughfare for freedom
beat, across the wilderness.” Today
these words would meet with condemnation from the politically correct crowd
highlighting the European oppression of the native Americans. The “amber waves of grain above the fruited
plain” is rejected as the destruction of old-growth forests and resultant
climate change. “O beautiful for
heroes proved, in liberating strife, Who more than self their country loved,
and mercy more than life” brings to mind the privileged white nationalists
whose monuments are toppled by Antifa anarchists in the name of
multiculturalism and historical revisionism.
Truly a hymn of oppressive imperialism.
Patriotism and the study of our nation’s history and civics lessons have
been removed from our children’s formative education and curriculum. Prayer has been taken out of the public
schools along with any semblance of discipline.
Supposed sports heroes kneel in silent protest against the United States
flag and law enforcement.
Parents are
forced to spend thousands of dollars to send their children to private schools
which still emphasize a foundation based on the Word of God. My little girl and boy attend a Christian
school where the school schedule includes chapel each day where the Pledge of
Allegiance to the U.S. flag is recited each day. At each home football game, the “Star
Spangled Banner” is played and a prayer offered to start each contest. It was refreshing to attend the recent
Children of the Confederacy event at the Alabama State Archives where the
children led the agenda which began with the recitation of the Cof C Creed
followed by the pledges to the U.S., Christian and Confederate flags. The Cof C Creed states, “We pledge ourselves
to preserve pure ideals: to honor our veterans; to study and teach the truths
of history (one of the most important of which is that the War Between the
States was not a rebellion nor was its underlying cause to sustain slavery) and
to always act in a manner that will reflect honor upon our noble and patriotic
ancestors.” When doing a web search for
that verbiage, I was astonished at the first search results which
proclaimed, “Children of the Confederacy
Creed plaque in Capitol is indefensible and should come down.” (Houston
Chronicle); “Confederacy Creed marker at
the state Capitol is an embarrassment to Texas; plaque in (the Texas) state
capitol building is tantamount to public endorsement of a revisionist
lie.” (Dallas Morning News); “You can debunk this Confederate plaque in
minutes. What’s taking Texas so long?” (Texas Tribune) Any wonder that many have forecasted that
Texas may well turn blue in the coming electoral cycle, electing as its
majority the PC progressive socialists?
Many in the new
Confederate States of America wanted to retain the US flag as they viewed
themselves as preserving the true founding principles. George Washington was featured on the Great
Seal of the Confederacy as he was indeed the father of the CSA too. Many of the military leaders of Confederacy
were long held to embody the ideals of honor and service and patriotism
including by future U.S. Presidents like Roosevelt and Eisenhower. But the revisionist, multicultural,
agnostic-atheist, one-world-order, open border socialist-anarchists know better
than our nation’s founding fathers.
Cling to your Bible and your guns deplorables.
