A Memorial Day Reminder (and a Thank You)
American Thinker ^ | May 30, 2016 | Steve McCann

The people of United States, a nation struggling to regain a sense of optimism and confidence, have, over many years, been told by a preponderance of the elites in American society that their country is one of an ignoble nature and history. That “American Exceptionalism” is a myth that has precipitated the plunder of the planet and the exploitation of mankind throughout the world.

This is a nation whose alleged sins have been portrayed as so egregious that the current president, whose primary campaign promise was to “fundamentally transform America,” feels duty bound to go around the world on bended knee apologizing for those perceived transgressions.

The United States has become a ship without a rudder aimlessly wandering about the turbulent seas, piloted by those who only interest is themselves, their ideology, and their thirst for power. Far too many Americans, by dint of a deliberately woeful education and never ceasing propaganda spewed by a majority of the Ruling Class, do not know that they have in their possession the key to a prosperous and equitable society: individual freedom and liberty concurrent with a significant constraint on the power of the central government.

They do not appreciate that in the annals of mankind the true account of America’s contribution to the world and its people is one of magnificent achievement, whether freeing millions from tyranny by force of arms or dramatically improving their standard of living by fostering global economic growth as well as new and ever evolving technology.

He was taught this from the early days of dirty diapers until Occidental and Columbia. Parents, grandparents and Frank Marshall Davis all contributed.It is no wonder.
