America, the Flag, all for which she stands, will NEVER be redefined or tarnished by a bunch of snot-nosed leftists.
America is not simply a plot of land. Land can be robbed of nutrients, defoiled, and made barren with salt. America isn't harmed by globull warming.
She is also not defined by whoever is in power. I never stopped loving her when Obama, or Clinton were heading the Executive. Going a step further, as a wise man said recently, she is also not defined by the deadly combo of RINOs and WHATABOUTS with their standard retort to every positive as “yeah but whatabout?”
America, if you will, is a spirit and mindset that the individual reigns supreme and needs to be unencumbered to fulfill his/her destiny.
America, therefore, cannot be extinguished nor tarnished by the actions of dopey leftists, incompetent bureaucrats, rioters, or evil dressed in a suit or lab coat. Oh sure...people's IMAGE of America - especially abroad - may change, but I don't work for them and I don't care what they think. Indeed, THEY are the ones who elevate fallible flesh and bone to deity-like levels.
It has been stated (correctly) that the Second Amendment simply guarantees a preexisting right. The corollary is that repealing that Amendment doesn't eliminate that right. Alternatively, they can tear down brick and mortar and call daytime nighttime, but they cannot tarnish - nay, extinguish America.
Well said sir.
Nothing founded by God can be ended by man.
I know, the ideals and basic principles are still there, and there are many good people who still know them, hopefully enough people so that someday they will be revived, dusted off and set up for all to see (and abide by).
I don’t think you can kill it, because freedom is always the basic human longing.
But my emotional reaction to the flag is no longer the same, because having seen how quickly they can take our freedoms away - even though our freedoms are not theirs to take - I can see that our very orderliness and law abiding nature can be used against us by an out of control government and end up completely perverting the American project. And because we were the leaders of the West, all of the other countries immediately fell in line and became tyrannies themselves.
We’re going to have to fight hard to get our country back. But the ideals will never die.
