The New Patriotism
I’ve noticed a disturbing trend recently when it comes to celebrating the birthday of our great nation. The Independence Day weekend-long celebration has brought this to light again.
234 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence…
-Instead of celebrating our Founding Fathers, we mock them.
-Rather than discussing and honoring our founding values, we denigrate them on the evening news.
-When the Flag is proudly flown or our national anthem sung, jeers, not salutes, are given.
-God is excluded from our schools, offices, homes, and hearts.
-Our President, instead of championing abroad both American causes and our way of life, bows to both dictators and kings, all while apologizing for the very existence of the USA.
How do we fix this? How do we stop the growing desire to be given everything for nothing?
This isn’t something I have an answer for, but I’d like to help continue the discussion.
