Transfigurations: If my people...

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." -2 Chronicles 7:14

250 Years of Fighting for Liberty

Today we are still fighting for freedom, at home and abroad. Brave men and women wearing the cloth of a sometimes-grateful nation work to protect us from terrorists who seek to kill us for no reason other than that we are not one of them. God-fearing patriots stand up every day for the unborn and their right to be born. Good guys with guns have to remind politicians and special interest groups that the right to keep and bear arms is not about hunting. As AI increases and privacy is decreasing, it is up to us to come together and protect that which no one has a right to: intrusion of personal information and space.

The Patriotism Gap

How did we arrive at this patriotism gap? We got here via more than a half century of the cultural Marxist assault on the culture, the “long march through the institutions” which resulted in the radical Left takeover of every influential arena from the news media to the entertainment industry to education. Through those organs spread the anti-American narrative that our nation’s origins were rooted in racism and slavery, not liberty; that our country has historically been a fount of oppression, exploitation, and genocide, not a force for good in the world; and that, as Barack Obama put it, “American exceptionalism” is no more exceptional than British exceptionalism or Greek exceptionalism.

That toxic narrative has successfully poisoned generations of Americans and driven a widening wedge between Left and Right, between young and old, between urban and rural. And American now finds itself, on its 250th birthday, teetering on a brink. Which way we fall – toward chaos and collapse, or toward renewed unity and vibrancy – will depend upon which party prevails in the current cold civil war – a cold civil war that has already turned hot – in which we are deeply engaged.

Anti-Trump States Wouldn't Fix Up Booths for the Fair - PA AMERICANs Took Matters Into Their Own Hands

Why the Left Really Hates Trump’s America 250 Celebration At its core, much of the backlash reflects a deeper disagreement. Trump’s events celebrate love of country, national pride, and American achievement—ideas that directly challenge the strain of anti-American sentiment common on the political left. Many critics view the United States not as history’s greatest force for peace, prosperity, and liberty, but as a flawed or villainous power. They tend to see patriotism itself as problematic.
