“As George Santayana said, “Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it.” And he should have added, “Those who accept myth for history are doomed to repeat the catastrophic errors of history that should have been avoided.””
and
“And Reagan would be the first to say we better get our history right and answer the hate-America crowd or we simply won't survive. In his last address from the Oval office he said:

“An informed patriotism is what we want. And are we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world? ... We've got to teach history based not on what's in fashion but what's important ... If we forget what we did, we won't know who we are. I'm warning of an eradication of the American memory that could result, ultimately, in an erosion of the American spirit. Let's start with some basics: more attention to American history and a greater emphasis on civic ritual.

“And let me offer lesson number one about America: all great change in America begins at the dinner table. So tomorrow night in the kitchen I hope the talking begins. And children, if your parents haven't been teaching you what it means to be an American, let ‘em know and nail ‘em on it. That would be a very American thing to do.”

Americans have work to do, and strangely enough it is to sell the greatness of America to many of our fellow Americans. Our success or failure will determine our future. As Lincoln said, “We - even we here - hold the power and bear the responsibility ... We shall nobly save or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.””

Excellent article.
Have you noticed that the truth is looked over and some convoluted scheme is preferred instead of simply doing what worked and will work and holding on to values that are necessary, and primary to achieving in this generation what was achieved in generations before?

All this distraction away from our core values: and calling it progressive.

Man has not changed. His needs are still the same. Our individual values are constant ...

then comes “the evil one” to tempt and corrupt these values in the name of progressive action ... which really means, it is going to give power and authority to those that do not have the interest of the people of this country at heart.

It is POWER, FAME, AUTHORITY, SUPREME CONCEIT TO RULE THE NATION, AND TO RULE, STEAL, CHEAT THEM OF THEIR MONEY AND POSSESSIONS, FREEDOM, LIBERTY, PROPERTY, SELF RESPECT AND ENSLAVE THEM. All in the name of unity, welfare, political correctness, etc. And we like sheep walk ahead of them: doing as they ask. Voting our own enslavement, loss of the American way.

Accepting one World Government is next.

"Accepting one World Government is next"

Next? We are already far down that road, and near the end of that process which has been in the works for decades, the framework has been slowly but deliberately erected by each successive government which have all had members supporting world governance it them, overseen by the elitist Marxists who sit at the top of the world governance club. Slowly but surely, schools, municipal governments, lower and higher courts, and federal powers have been infiltrated with them. How many NGO's do we have running around lobbying government? They are who government listen to, not us.
