It seems everywhere we turn these days less than honorable folks are attempting to re-write history and portray our nation as something evil. Even our so-called educators are now indoctrinating our children and filling their heads with false narratives, designed not only to diminish our storied past but to promote a society free of accountability and permeated with division. In spite of all this suffocating Progressive hatred however, the American dream glows like a small ember just waiting for the patriotic oxygen that will breathe life into the roaring fire of Liberty once again.

I was correct back in 2008 when I predicted this president would be the lightning rod for the Left. However I must be forthcoming and tell you that even I’ve been taken back by the level of ideological warfare he’s waged on the Constitution. That aside, and as it’s always been these nearly 240 years, we may control that which God does not by way of the ballot box soon enough. And as that day grows closer, may we be resolved to do our homework, know our history, keep it well, and realize our great republic once again.

I will end with the closing of a short speech my boy and I will read in church this weekend as we celebrate our nation’s independence…

Daddy – In the end, opinions and beliefs are formed and reformed with time, experience and education. This was true of the Founders as well. Their own personal experiences molded them into the men we read about today. The truth of the matter however, is that attempting to re-write history by only cherry picking the historical quotes and snapshots out of the necessary context, is irresponsible and even reckless when looked at through the eyes of the children to whom we shall pass this great endeavor. Therefore it is incumbent upon “We the People” to move beyond even what my son and I have brought you on this Independence Day.

Fact – On the 2nd of July 1776, brave patriots embarked on a long and uncertain journey. Some would lose everything in their pursuit of liberty. They were hopeful and scared in the same moment, but most assuredly and humbly sought the protection of “Almighty God”, and the wisdom contained in the greatest book ever written by the hand of man.

Son– God please send your blessings down upon the United States of America, and upon all who go in harm’s way to defend her.

Thank you…
