Part
2 of 4 – Patriotism
Throughout our 242-year history Americans have consistently been
one of the most patriotic nations on Earth.
Regardless of which political party controlled the Congress or the
Presidency, or tried to influence the Supreme Court, the people have always supported
the nation and our Constitution.
Examples of this undying patriotism must include never
wavering in the face of such challenges as the War of Independence, the Civil
War, World Wars I and II, the Great Depression, the assassination of Presidents,
the 1968 Democratic Party National Convention riots, the assassination of
Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Schizophrenia Sixties.
The sixties, probably the most destructive, divided,
depressing, disgusting, and drug-driven decade in the history of the
world. For those of you who missed the lessons
of the sixties, you must thank God you did.
For those who were there but seemed to have lost the years in a fog, it is
a good thing to have memory loss of the sixties.
Patriotism was the fabric that carried us through those
monumental challenges. It is the core of
our existence and the spirit that propelled us, as a people, to be the sole
beacon of hope in a world of fear and uncertainty. It brought us to where we are today, the only
Super Power left standing.
As stated by our forefathers:
Declaration
of Independence
“We
hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they
are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these
are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”
“We,
therefore, the Representatives of the United States of America, in General
Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the
rectitude of our intentions”
“And
for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of
divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and
our sacred Honor.”
Pledge
of Allegiance
"I
pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the
republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty
and justice for all."
As our forefathers clearly established, truths were
self-evident, all were equal, all are endowed by their Creator with certain
unalienable Rights, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And we acknowledge a firm reliance on the
protection of Divine Providence.
The Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of
Rights are the perpetual gifts of our forefathers born of divine inspiration
when the colonists were prepared to go to war against the world super power,
the British Empire. The colonist’s
commitment, to pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
In terms of the Democratic party there has been a shift over
the past few decades as policy moved from the party that conquered religious
liberty with the election of JFK in 1960, to the party today that has worked
for years to discredit the founding references to God, the Creator, or Divine Providence,
whichever God you so choose.
It began with the party leadership position to attack the
credibility of God through the separation of Church and State argument. First the Nativity Scenes were banned from
public property, then the Ten Commandments removed from courtrooms and
legislative chambers in court houses and all public buildings, while praying,
religious photos or artwork, and the Cross were banned from public schools.
At times it seemed as
if the Democratic party had morphed from “Moderate” under John Kennedy to
liberal, then progressive, and finally the socialist party of today.
I wonder about a political system like socialism. Whenever it wins over a nation, and has
established the mindset that everyone is equal and everything belongs to all of
us, then turns over control to an elite group of leaders who immediately exempt
themselves from all laws, where are they going?
Then the socialists tear up the old constitution, take all the
money, land and wealth from the rich and redistribute it to everyone. Next the businesses owned by the former
wealthy are nationalized by the state driving away the aristocrats who knew how
to run a business and replacing them with the proletariat who had no clue.
By now critics of the government are silenced or killed off to
prevent any erosion of control. Remember
that liberal news media as you continue in your blatant efforts to undermine
the Constitutional Republic and replace it with socialism. Do whatever it takes to provide cradle to grave
goodies to the people.
Where does that leave us?
We just squandered all the wealth, confiscated then corrupted
before destroying all businesses, and promised the people all sorts of very
expensive goodies, i.e., jobs, wages, housing, food, safety, health care and
layers upon layers of bureaucratic rules and regulations to make sure no one
could ever take away all those goodies from you.
They forgot to mention their House of Cards lacked foundation
so when it started to fail, they let it go bankrupt and poof, the well runs
dry. The people, left with nothing, begin
to awaken to the lies, illusions, and deceptions they once embraced. But no one and nothing is left to save them.
Attacks on God are attacks on patriotism.
So is kneeling down during the national anthem in protest while
insulting the sacred nature of the Flag, an action embraced by the Democrats of
today.
Our forefathers clearly recognized only one kingdom we were
beholden to, the Kingdom of God. We are
the human side of God’s Kingdom, his creation on Earth. But God is not a religion, it is a divine
presence that oversees all of creation.
The Creator belongs to no one group of humans but all humans, no
religion or race but all religions and races.
The Democrats seem to be at war with God and the teachings of His
or Her Son, in spite of the distinction that we pledge to live under divine law
and influence. To ignore it is to also
lose all honor.
Is it so easy to cast aside founding principles like being
endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness? And we
acknowledge a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence.
Add to the unpatriotic image of the Democrats, efforts to
replace constitutional law with rules and regulations, or replace them with “administrative
law” rulings from the Supreme Court.
Attacks on the Supreme Court, challenges to the laws of the
Constitution including illegal immigration, universal health care, gun control,
expansion of abortions even impeachment of the president for no viable cause,
all put the Democrats at odds with the Constitution.
There is the rioting, protests, flag burning, screaming in congress, accosting people in public places, violating people's privacy, and an endless stream of fake news, distortions and downright nasty activities.
On most social issues the people are pretty evenly split,
nearly 50-50. Advocating one position
over the other loses 50% support immediately.
People who label themselves “progressive” total just 8% of the electorate,
yet the vast majority of Democratic party positions are far left progressive.
Even the liberal or moderate Democrats are caught at cross
purposes from the party leadership. Add
to them the Independents who already left the two political parties because
they were disgusted with platforms and tactics, and you have a foundation, well
you have a House of Cards waiting for the first wind to come along and destroy
it.
It seems as if the Democratic party made a conscious decision
to embrace radical ideas over common sense, resistance over negotiation and
compromise, attacks over hope and character assassination over helping all Americans. Patriotism is not relevant to the party of
today, but might not be forgotten by those the DNC are trying to brainwash.
