In only a few months, Trump has corrected his predecessors’ Titanic course of our ship of state.
In the postwar period, the rise of the New Left and its “long march” through the institutions accelerated the erosion of patriotism, particularly among those who spent time in universities. Love of one’s country joined faith as a malign superstition, while sexual restraint and virtue became cultural shorthand for repression, ignorance, unsophisticated gullibility, and fascism. The United States was transformed by the left from the “shining city on a hill” to a cesspool of tyranny, racism, oppression, philistinism, and heartless greed.
But this year Donald Trump’s spectacular successes at home and abroad, the fruits of his Make America Great Again movement, has restored Constitutional order, common sense, and tradition to our government. Now the “vibe,” as the kiddies of all ages say, is triumphantly patriotic, and the celebration of our nation’s birth, of freedom, and of political equality, is once again exuberant. And our exceptionalism is obvious to all except the enemies of freedom.
Earlier, there were moments of renewal. Ronald Reagan’s presidency marked a powerful pushback against the left’s collectivist trends and policies, and reform of our foreign policy of cringing accommodation of our enemies and rivals. With wit and passionate resolve, Reagan challenged the self-loathing clichés of the cognitive and cultural elites, slaughtering whole herds of their foreign policy, economic, and culture war sacred cows.

Correct.
Be sure not to read the article.
???
It's not just the title. The article doesn't refer to it as Independence Day either.
Give it a rest.
You want amnesty? Just gonna go along with it? No push back?
I didn’t say that. I said give it a rest.
I said I don’t want amnesty.
Go clean up your act.
Stuff a sock in it.
I read the article and came to comments looking for intelligent people comments. Instead we have insults between freepers. Very sad
Please do!
The long game of creating open source Founder audio books we have engaged in is going to do more to restore American knowledge about the Founding Fathers than most other efforts.
PragerU will likely always be ahead of us to be sure, also Hillsdale. They are the only two I can think of. The schools stopped teaching about the Founders generations ago. I wasn’t taught about them.
But since today is Independence Day, here is an audio book we created, free and in the public domain, about every one of our Founding Fathers along with an in-depth analysis of the Declaration of Independence and what each of the 27 grievances stands for:
