“The United States of America has been among the greatest forces for good in the history of the world.” — President Donald Trump, U.N. speech, 9/19/17
“Controversy erupts at Vista Del Lago High School in Folsom [CA] over students chanting ‘usa’ … [S]chool and district officials are now warning students that the chants could appear inappropriate and intolerant.” — cbs Sacramento, 9/14/17
“R****t anthem.” — graffiti defacing monument to Francis Scott Key on the 203rd anniversary of his poem, “The Star-Spangled Banner,” The Baltimore Sun, 9/13/17
America is under attack — from within. Our culture, our history, our Founding are under the most direct assault I have seen in my life. It could be argued that we are on the cusp of a second civil war. Indeed, some of you might say it has already begun. The attack is largely financed from without, by people like George Soros and others. They make common cause with Americans whose objective is to take the nation down, hasten our decline, knock us out as a superpower.
Nothing l*****ts are doing is random. The r**ts, the protests, the mayhem, the destruction of monuments — none of it is by happenstance. It all has one objective: to erase American history. The aim is to impugn our past. Because, you see, if enough Americans can be persuaded that the United States, as founded, is inherently unjust, r****t, immoral, and illegitimate, then the United States, as founded, can be blotted out.
America will cease to be great,” was the observation attributed to Alexis de Tocqueville. The message of A****a, the Black Bloc, Occupy, wh**ever else these l*****t groups are called, is brutal: “America was never good.” The more people can be convinced of that, the more likely it is that our greatness ceases.
The left’s objective is to recast the history of America, to re-characterize it, in such a way as to convince a majority of Americans that their country is bigoted, and has been nothing more than “white supremacism” from the get-go.
Even some Republicans are participating in the effort to cast America as indefensible with Donald Trump as President. Attacks on Trump and his Presidency are designed to “prove” how flawed the United States is; the Constitution isn’t worth spit if it allowed a President Trump. The argument is being advanced that we must eliminate wh**ever structures and institutions made Trump possible.
Speaking about American greatness is considered a social faux pas — it’s just not done in polite company. If such facts are stated at all, it’s with embarrassment or apology. Which is why America’s true history is being erased from cultural awareness. It certainly isn’t taught in school, and it surely isn’t accurately reported by “journalists.”
Until America, authoritarianism, tyranny, royal rule was the standard, nation to nation, people to people. That is the history of humanity — poverty, struggle, oppression — until the United States was born, which copied nothing.
The United States and its Founders rejected tyranny. In America, for the first time in history, power was vested in the individual. (That is being scorned now, under the miserable l*****t premise that the individual is corrupt: probably a r****t or t***sphobe or homophobe or s*********t or some other horrible piece of human debris.) America was born in liberty.
And, thanks to that incomparable embrace of humanity that is the United States of America, there’s nowhere else that human beings would rather be. Yet the t***h about the United States and its character is under withering bombardment. People born and raised here have been convinced — by damn lies — that America is a hellhole, a sewer, or a prison. Americans are being poisoned into ignorance, and ignorant people will not remain free for very long.
The media is working parallel with the education system to wipe out all vestiges of our history and our memories that testify to the greatness of America and her people. Now major corporations are joining in this effort. Free, informed speech is punished, diversity of thought is attacked and discouraged. It’s all coming to a head with l*****t mob violence.
The campaign is to convince you that your country is so intrinsically flawed that it needs to be completely remade, outside the framework of a Constitutional republic. They want you to believe the Constitution has failed, so we must replace it with a new system of expert “benevolent” rulers — themselves. Their push is to accumulate concentrated power, and to end individual liberty. This is the road to tyranny.
The future of the country as founded is in jeopardy — because fewer and fewer people know the country’s past. Fewer and fewer people know why the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence risked everything — pledged “their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor” to break free from the tyranny of the day. For many of them, their signatures sealed their death warrants. To our Founders, every one of them, freedom was priceless. And that freedom has been preserved and passed down, till now, in this wonderful, blessed nation, which has been so good and so generous — and has opened the doors of indescribable opportunity.
The left wants you to forget what the United States is, and who we are — the goodness of our people, the greatness of our way of life, our decency, our philanthropy, our sharing, our kindness. I’m sorry, folks, but I don’t accept their ugly lies that America is a land of bigots. It isn’t true. I’m so tired of my country being blamed for the globe’s ills. We are the solution to the world’s problems, not the cause!
And what do we get for it? Jealousy, envy, resentment, and hatred. We are constantly rebuked, derided, criticized. At the same time, we are looked at as the world’s piggy bank. Every U.N. policy is a scheme to get the world’s hands into our back pocket. C*****e c****e, immigration, wh**ever the issue, the purpose is always to fleece the Treasury of the United States.
. What a crock. We have earned what we produce. We feed the world. We benefit every corner of the earth with our technological advances. We share medical breakthroughs and scientific discoveries of all kinds with the rest of the planet. We are first on the scene at natural disasters all over creation. The United States is the greatest force for uplift, for dynamism, for growth that the world has ever seen.
As President Trump said in his speech to the U.N., “From its very first moments, the American story is the story of what is possible when people take ownership of their future.” We can only take ownership of our future because we’re free. This is the true definition of American exceptionalism. Even today, the majority of the world does not know liberty as we know it. It’s not that we’re better than anybody. It’s that we are 300-plus million individuals who are free to pursue ambitions, hopes, and creativity, however we wish, as far as our dreams take us.
And that is the purpose of the United States as founded. To preserve human liberty, endowed by our Creator. Here in America, the last best hope of earth.
