Forgetting the Founders

As the incredible events of 1944 seem to drift farther from our minds and Che Guevara and MLK, Jr. are pressed into the children's brains by the baby boomers' offspring (the ones whose parents saved the Western World on those bloody days in Normandie)...

This may offend some, but let's be honest. America is about everyone, true, but the reason we had a national identity and prosperity beyond imagination was because of Europeans.

Everyone "helped" on the sidelines, but our ancestors did the heavy lifting and had the imagination to make it work.

I am not aplogizing for not kow-towing to 3rd Worlders, to kids with pants around their butts and polka music at 4 AM...

I may be a geeky, button-down collared preppy, but hey, we are the reason everyone wants to be here, as oppposed to China, Mexico or Afghanistan.

In the midst of a PC water cooler conversation, never, ever feel sorry, ashamed or pressured to kiss the proverbial derriere of anyone.

Know things haven't been perfect, but never, ever feel as if your people have let the world down, when in fact, we do more than anyone else on the planet, many times over.

I found that reading Ayn Rand's “Atlas Shrugged” has completely inoculated me against guilt.

Yes. The U.S. was established by people who fled the megalomaniac kings, corrupt aristocrats, and entrenched priestly castes of Europe. Now many immigrants come to bring Old World statism, corruption, and satanic religion with them.
