The Dog Whistles of July 4th
By J. Johnson
Like clockwork, the haters have come out in full force this Holiday season; spewing all the dogma that many already suspected. Bottom line: they hate this country and all it stands for. If we reply with STFD, STFU, or GTFO, they will of course wrap themselves in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution – which they also hate. Since we know this will probably be the standard for all things American going forward, perhaps our side should employ a different strategy.
It is this author’s opinion, the haters’ strategy has the following objectives: white guilt, white anger or a combination of the two. There still may be a deeper underlying strategy to this whole "everything American sucks" strategy: that is to gauge our response to it. If this is the case, posting these articles on various conservative sites and spending the full day on non-left wing media discussing and debating these silly opinions are a flawed strategy.
Let’s put it another way: Did you enjoy your holiday? The cookouts? The [return of] fireworks? The family? Fantastic! There’s a word for this in America: normal. It’s that normal (call it Americana) that is causing so much butt hurt on the other side. But here’s the bigger question: Why should that be our problem? Why should we even care?
Just as many have already decided consciously to not watch one second of the 2021 Summer Olympic games unless Japan and the IOC come to their senses and dis-invite Team USA (I would consider that a merciful action to avoid a global embarrassment), perhaps we should do the same for all those who have yet another reason to hate America, its flags, its symbols, and yes – its people.
That is to simply ignore them.
Yes, when the self-quoting media can’t help but to broadcast the rantings of yet another American-hating loud mouth, they get no better favor than our side deciding to post it in our view space, re-tweet it, or whatever they call it these days. How about for future Independence Days, we promote what’s good about America, our historical achievements, and plans going forward as a nation. And if people want to hate on that, it’s on them – not us. Let them wallow in their own naval gazing (read: self-loathing).
To them, everything is *ists. American is guilty of *ism without even allowing a word in its defense. Yet they are still here. For those who hate July 4th and what it stands for, shall we be expecting you to see you working on the same day next year? It falls on a Monday, you know. Then again, I reference the acronymns above, thank you.
As for us, I believe we should avoid the psychological warfare being waged against us. Part of my ancestry was brought here in chains as slaves. AND THANK GOD FOR THAT. For that reason, I am blessed to be born in the greatest country on earth, instead of somewhere in a failed African continent (Yeah, and I hope that statement burns their underwear). And I refuse to be mentally beaten down by a constant drumbeat about how bad it is just because someone whose life sucks is given a big microphone. We shall enjoy our lives for ourselves and not for them. We shall not live, speak, and act on their terms.
Let them dog whistle themselves - since they seem to be the only ones who can hear them anyway.
Yes, I am proud to be an American, and to that end, I will complete my testimony with what probably offends our enemies to the most on this holiday – the Real Reason for This Season…
“…We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
Let that sink in real good – and pass the ribs, please.
Thank-you for making my day with that message. Happy 🎂 Birthday America!
Disagree without being Disagreeable and move on.
Politely inform the that the USA is not the Democratic Republic of East(communist) Germany no one from the govt. will shoot them in the back for leaving without express approval from the government. Also inform them that their departure makes room to a lawful/legal immigrant who wants to be here to come to this nation & that there will be no shortage of volunteers!
Once again, when reelected, President Trump needs to make it very easy for hotheads to surrender their American citizenship and take foreign citizenship.
Buh-bye.
The drumbeat of commie venom and hatred has greater than crack pot venting. It will lead, in short order, to eliminate the Forth by merging it with Juneteenth as a fake commie holiday such as Equality and Justice Day. Also the communist will simultaneously begin a campaign for a new flag and national anthem. This can happen very quickly.
