"We're at a Crossroads..."

“We’re at a Crossroads…”
Where is all the hysteria over a battle flag of the Confederate Army going to end? I believe it is not going to end anytime soon. I truly hope that it does, however, the Communists in our midst are going to make sure that they take advantage of this crisis; they are going to attack our Founders as slave owners in order to erase their place in our history. Think I’m being a bit over the top? That I’ve been caught up in the moment? Let me make my case.
For the last forty plus years, the public schools in this country have not put much emphasis on American history. Nor have they taught civics. Many people do not know our glorious history, nor do they know anything about how the government of the United States works. Many understand it as a large piggy bank, from which they are entitled to take it down from the shelf and shake out as many coins as necessary to satisfy their needs. Never mind that they have never put in any coins. That’s about as far as they know when it comes to our government. After all, everyone is entitled to what everyone else has. It wouldn’t be “fair” if someone had more than I did – right?
Now, without any idea of our history and the people who are a part of that history, we are going to expunge everything that has to do with slavery. Many think slavery is the great sin of America, followed closely by the sin of global warming, followed by whatever suits the Communist to make the American citizen guilty of something, anything. Since fewer and fewer people have any religious training, i.e., Sunday School, Schul, CCD they no longer understand the sinful nature of man. On the contrary, they only know the secular sins which are declared by the Left; you use too much gas, you ruin our environment, you hate gays, you don’t eat right, you are selfish, and on and on. The Liberal has an answer to rid you of your sin and your sinful life, and that is Government. Yes, Government will wash away all of these sins and make you right with the Earth. Notice how I capitalized the word “Earth?” This is because the “Earth” has become one of our new gods, not in my world, but certainly in the Liberal one.
With all sin, how do we assess what and who we will edit out and what and who are more sinful, or less sinful? Who decides?
Let’s talk about some of our history. In the late 1800’s great waves of immigrants came to this country, and they were discriminated against. The Irish had to drop the “Mc’s,” and the “O’s,” from their names to try and get a job. The Italians were in the same position. The Jewish people were not allowed into WASP institutions. During WW II the Japanese were interned in camps, and a shipload of refugee Jews were forbidden safe harbor in the United States of America. At the beginning of the 20th century, Woodrow Wilson imprisoned American women suffragettes who were demonstrating for the vote. Should we obliterate the name “Franklin D. Roosevelt” and “Woodrow Wilson” from every public building, and never mention them again?
Now to the title of this essay; “We are at a Crossroads.” What are we going to do when the ignorant hordes start coming for our Founding Fathers, under the guise that they were mere slave owners and nothing else. What will we do? Sit silent and let them do it? Not me.
There needs to be a resurgence of the American spirit. Don’t know how this is going to begin, but I believe there are lots of us out there and we can muster the will and the wherewithal to bring about this renaissance.
Let’s start with prayer.
