Public Schools Teach Shame To American Children

American Children Are Learning To Be Ashamed of Their Country

Last night, cuddling with my 11, 10 & 7 year old kids, I asked some casual questions about school.  Specifically, history questions.  Some comments of theirs in the past bothered me and I wanted to delve into the matter a bit.  As I said on a previous post, “my antennae were wiggling.”  Needless to say, my antennae were working perfectly, as usual.  The Progressives have completely taken over all public schools.  They are teaching our children to be ashamed of their country.  Listen to this little conversation I had with my kids.  I asked the following questions:

• What is the Constitution? The Declaration of Independence? The Bill of Rights?
• Who was George Washington?  Thomas Jefferson?  Paul Revere? John Adams? James Madison? Abraham Lincoln?
• What great things has the United States done for the world?
• What was WWI & WWII about?
• What was the Civil War about?
• Who are the Founding Fathers?
• Who bombed us on 9/11?

Their responses killed me. 

Gentle Americans, It Is Time To Become A Big Mouth

My fellow Americans, we are a gentle people.  No matter that other countries, other Peoples or even some of our own spoiled citizens say we are the opposite.  Our great nation has always been slow to war and even slower to internal strife.  We are a nation founded on Christian values of peace, humility & hard work.  Part of that belief is that each and every one of us is on an individual journey through life- not only as an American citizen, but as children of God.  Embedded in our national psyche is the Golden Rule first brought to earth by Jesus:  “Do unto others what you would have them do to you.”  Americans shy from judgement- once again, a value learned from our humble Lord who washed the feet of his disciples.  In essence, Americans mind their own business and leave each of us to commune with our own conscience and our own God.  We don’t like to interfere.

What are the results of this unique, American mindset?

A nation so generous in its new-found freedom that it opened its arms to the poor, the needy and the homeless of the entire world.  Citizenship to the greatest nation God has ever created was handed out freely to any who would dare the seas.  A warm embrace never seen before, nor ever given again.  A court system who would rather release 100 guilty criminals than indict one innocent person.  A nation that gives more money to the world’s poor than all other countries combined.  A nation that selflessly gave almost half a million valiant American lives to free Europe from Fascism & Nazism.  A nation that has defended Muslims in Bosnia, Serbia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, & Kuwait while their own leaders slay them in the streets and torture them in their jails.  A nation so blended in culture & race & background that being an American cannot be explained by color.  A nation that has self disciplined the wrongs of the past through peaceful protest- with the enactment of Civil Rights legislation & Women’s Rights legislation.  A nation so intent on equality that we have bent too far in the opposite direction, actually creating a privileged, rabid minority bent on destruction.  A nation with the greatest record of human liberty that the world has every seen.  We have been, indeed, the City on the Hill- envied by all.

My friends.  I’m calling on all good & normal Americans to pay attention now.

Another Attack on Patriotism from the Rabid Left

Florida Town Fines Woman for Too Many American Flags

The world is on fire.  War is everywhere.  Whole towns are disappearing into killer wind funnels across one third of our nation.  The country is broke, the population divided.   Terrorists want to tear down more buildings and domestic crime leaves blood on our sidewalks.   We need our politicians to be working their butts off to guide our towns, cities, states and country through the minefields.  Do liberals understand this?  Can they prioritize the greater good over their own, petty agenda?  Well, let’s see.  There is a hard working mother & small restaurant owner in Crystal River, Florida.  She owns a popular Philly cheese steak joint.  She has two sons in the Navy.  She loves this country.  Both as a salute to the military in general, she is also saluting her sons’ life threatening contributions to our nation (they are giving their lives to protect these liberals too.)  Do they appreciate it?  No, they pick on their mom.  They took time out of their busy political day to attack this amazing mother of two amazing sons.  For she had committed a crime, fellow Americans.  She was flying three more flags than she was allowed to by city ordinance.  Without even warning her, they slapped a fine on her.  Because, I assume, this is what they prioritize:  getting a loving mom for saluting her sons.
