Will we allow Democrats to ruin this nation?

Our flag, history, and culture seem to offend many people these days, but our benefits don’t offend anybody, other than perhaps a few hard-working taxpayers.

Odd.

It is remarkable — and very sad — how far we’ve come from the 1976 Bicentennial celebrations, which, despite coming hard on the heels of Watergate and the pathetic end of the Vietnam War, were almost universally and gleefully celebrated by all.

Today, in the lead up to the Semiquincentennial, musical acts are pulling out of the official festivities and mainstream media outlets are not lauding but trashing America every chance they get. There is no overwhelming feeling of unity, pride, accomplishment, and revelry.

Why? Our flag and our history haven’t changed. Our culture has of course changed, but that is decidedly not the reason for the listless observance. The woke -- and incorrect -- teaching of history is partly to blame, with the error-filled 1619 Project and its ilk replacing a factual recounting.

However, the main problem is the 40, 50, 60 million or more illegal aliens who have been allowed to invade this country from Islamic and liberation-theology nations that have no familiarity with liberty and the rule of law, and who hate America and disdain its citizens. The impotent, spineless, and two-faced RINOs who populate Congress share in the blame and shame, along with the Democrats who plotted it.

Adam Smith wrote, “There is a great deal of ruin in a nation,” which he intended to mean that nations can endure much in the way of mistakes and bad policies and still survive. But this time there may be too much ruin from which the United States must recover. Adam Smith did not anticipate today’s Democrat party, which is filled with America-hating Marxists and is fully capable of destroying even the strongest of nations. With help from the ever-abundant RINOs, of course.

Massive institutional fraud and staggering in-our-face election cheating, combined with an inexplicable suicidal empathy for criminals, bad behavior, and outright evil, are leading to an “American Denouement.” It does not have to end like this, but will if MAGA types don’t gain the upper hand. I don’t agree with President Trump on everything, have questioned his handling of the war with Iran, but if Republicans don’t adopt his policies and temperament, their party — and this nation — are doomed.

As a wise person once said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”

Yet, despite the most egregious and damaging effrontery, most of us have not done enough to battle the evil enveloping the modern world.

So, Eric, how do we do this in spite of all the obstacles we face?

Never accede to a lie, no matter who is telling it. Do not patronize entities that disdain you and your views. Attend your caucuses. Run for local office. Don’t be afraid to speak up. Our predecessors fought the British, twice, and the Germans twice. They stormed the beaches at Normandy and Inchon. Surely we can speak, write, and defend our beliefs, despite any threats we may receive. (And I have received more than a few over the years.)

For me, it’s about the founding values of truth, courage, and the unalienable rights we have been granted by our Creator.

What else could possibly be more important?

Winston Churchill stated of Britain’s fight against the Third Reich, “We shall never surrender.”

FDR stated, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

My biggest fear today is that we will surrender everything we have, including belief in unalienable rights, in bizarre subservience to the hordes of Muslim invaders “progressives” have let in to our formerly sovereign nations.
