Who are we, when our flag represents an Idol and not our American values, standards and culture?
Is this not the oldest, most common, question posed to mankind?
Which will you serve - the Idol and worldly power - or the values of civilization passed down to us through Moses?
What does it say about current American culture and education that this flag flew for months over Democrat HQ in Florida and would have continued if veterans didn't speak up?
What does it say that Democrats and even Republicans had no idea what is wrong with this picture?
Do YOU know what those American values, standards and culture are?
How could you, after a generation of "Multiculturalism".
Immigrants and even new people born here are no longer assimilated into American values, standards and culture.
How could they when their parents and teachers don't know what they are anymore.
What's wrong with Multiculturalism or more accurately multi-value-ism?
Why should we have just one American standard of values or even have any standards at all?
Imagine two people playing cards.
Both are playing the same game, by the same rules.
It doesn't matter if one or both are from another country or what culture they grew up in.
There is no conflict and both have equal opportunity to succeed at the game.
Whoever is most skilled and/or takes advantage of chance and opportunity will win.
That's America as it's supposed to be.
But what if they are playing by different rules.
Or worse, what if they are playing different games entirely; For instance, one plays poker and the other blackjack.
Even if they are from the same country, maybe the same town, speaking the same language, there will be conflict and neither can succeed.
When they fail, both will accuse each other of cheating. Each KNOWS they are right, and whoever has the bigger gun wins.
That's multiculturalism.
You can't live together in a country if you don't have the same set of rules and you don't have a common language and ethos.
Add more players to the table - the Christian, the Jew, The Muslim, The Atheist, the Agnostic, the English the Spanish, the Italian, the Irish, the men, the women, the children, the teens, the elderly, the rich, the poor and every racial, ethnic, cultural and philosophical differentiation.
If the house can't articulate the rules or even know what language to speak, what do you get?
The Befuddled masses.
Imagine the chaos with a room full of these players. How about a town... a state.... or a country?
Either we agree on the rules or the ones with the bigger guns impose the rules.
The rules for our Society, in fact any society that wants to last, begin with inalienable, endowed Natural Rights and duties and a responsible Government that is limited only to protect those rights and duties.
Our Bedrock American Values are Judeo-Christian. Our bedroom values are nobody's business and certainly not a Political issue to be used to divide the country.
Let's restore what worked.
