First it was the Confederate statues because they represented racist microaggressions. Then it was any statue of any slaveowner. Now, it is the flag of the United States. Anyone knowledgeable of how totalitarian aggression operates knew it would not stop at the statues. Anyone who has ever read George Orwell’s Animal Farm knew the objective was slow, incremental chips at the core of the symbolism of the United States. Yet, the left is adroit at propaganda and indoctrination, so there should be no surprise this is where we are presently.
The recent rhetoric favoring a new flag for the country is the latest attack by liberals trying to delegitimize the nation to promote their radical agenda. The problem is contemporary liberals conflate unfortunate societal norms of certain time periods and hold our country to different standards than the rest of human civilization. It is supercilious virtue signaling to question who the flag represents. The flag of the United States of America represents all people living here and it always has.
World history did not begin in 1776 and it has always unfortunately been brutal and messy. Yes, the country has its past sins but those are no different than any other country or civilization that has ever existed. Liberals have this habit of emphasizing the ills of American history while ignoring the concurrent ills of human civilization.

In no way are these people “liberals.” They are Marxist influenced leftists. We need to quit using the term liberal about people who are about as illiberal as humans can get.
And of course their goal is the complete elimination of the nation in any recognizable form. It probably doesn’t really matter what their latest anti-American crusade is since it’s all part of a larger whole of eliminating America/Western Civ/Judeo-Christian values/capitalism and imposing their worldview and control over everyone else.
This is why you don’t give an inch on some things. This is how you get from “please just leave us alone” to “you will bake our wedding cake or your business will be shut down”.
It will never be enough.
We should have drawn a line long ago.
Now they are emboldened.
“We should have drawn a line long ago.
Now they are emboldened.”
We shouldn’t have ceded the educational system to them. They are beyond emboldened. They are winning. They won’t be happy with what they’ll end up with.
This is how they get it done.
Outstanding novelette. Short but very powerful. HIGHLY recommended to all parents. Especially now with CRT et al, being jammed into your children’s brains.
8 bucks at Amazon. Much cheaper if you buy used.
