What the 'sit while the national anthem is played' protests demonstrate is that America, as we have always known it, truly is no more. Half of America, to use a general approximate, knows little about our nation's beginnings and could care less. They are products of an educational system that purposely produced citizens with few ties to the past, weak allegiances and little outright love for America, and all this is documented. If our military should be attacked in the South China Sea or the Korean peninsula for example, where the aggression is so pathetically obvious that even CNN calls for retaliation, it will turn out to be another case of 'fly the flag for a couple of weeks or maybe months and then get bored and turn your ire on America itself.' We don't have the staying power...we don't want the staying power...and will will abandon those who do in a New York minute.
It is becoming de rigueur in America to claim that we should have never gone into Iraq, and try to find someone below the age of 60 in public life that saw our efforts in Vietnam as honorable and just. People can't defend America because they have been taught to always accuse America. The hard road is to say "give me more homework...let me hear from the other side." Consequently we take the path of least resistance.....the easy way. We have become a people of the easy way...a people of the loophole and a people of the easy way. Whether in private life, corporate life, the professions or in government, ethics are passe, integrity does not pay off and honor puts you where Ted Cruz is today. Whether it is Iraq or the gay agenda or safe spaces or the bathroom nonsense going on in high schools or the smearing of Thomas Jefferson or revisionist history, we oil that squeaky wheel and go on our way.
Our sports have consumed us. You may remember how shortly after 9/11 the rallying cry was "This won't affect our NFL football games....we will not cower before their threats!" (I put that in my own words obviously) That was freedom and liberty to them! That's the extent of patriotic fervor in so many today! The very first post that I wrote back in October of 2008 was on the topic of cable television. If we only had an a la carte method of choosing our stations! By now many would have been weaned from the societal horror that this medium has become and the rest limited in their options because there would be less money in the ventures!
How has Islam become the poster child for tolerance in America? Why has the gospel of Jesus Christ, from which everything good in our history has blossomed, become the enemy while a religion of polar opposites has been embraced blindly? How have the Harvards and the Penns and the Yales turned into the Godless intern factories that they are today without an uproar? (All nine colonial colleges were established as Christian educational institutions!) How did a man with little to no paper trail from his past become our president? How can a woman with the paper trail she has even be considered for president? The answer to these and all the other mystifying questions regarding America's intellectual breakdown and socialist and even Stalinist swoon can be researched from our history, of which has little value to the student today with its revisionist codes, and analytical reasoning which is being phased out along with the Lincoln penny.
The definitive answers to the above questions are in God's written Word to us. The gospel is a threat to the satiated mind of the unbeliever....Islam poses no threat to the mind. Harvard, Penn and Yale glorified God in their dedications.....higher education today demands that we only glorify man. Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton never have and never will address the intellect, for the intellect can demand truth, it can reason and use logic, and most disconcerting of all it will eventually look to the heavens and acknowledge its Creator.
