Leading in the Right Direction
President’s Corner
Civilizational Stakes
Over the Thanksgiving holiday I was reminded of why we celebrate this day in America. From the first Pilgrims arriving and surviving, to the battles bravely fought to establish our freedom from a tyrannical government, to the dream of creating “a more perfect union,” and to the fight over the evils of slavery, Americans have come together to give thanks to Almighty God for our providence. Our country was founded on Judeo-Christian morals and beliefs. Our currency states In God We Trust.
For decades immigrants have come to our shores hoping to partake in the “American Dream.” They chose to assimilate, learn our language, our customs, and wave our American flag, proud to finally be known as “an American.” Yet at this time in our country we are facing a different battle, the fight to protect our national identity as Americans first and foremost. When did we allow major populations in some states to reject their new country and instead create enclaves of foreign speaking communities that refuse to assimilate?
We have allowed immigrants to become “separatists” who create insular ethnic communities speaking their native language, waving their home country’s flags, and defying our laws, choosing to instead create their own rules. We see this dramatically in Minneapolis, MN. where the Somali population, many who have Temporary Protected Status, has been allowed to become the majority voting bloc statewide and where the American mayor speaks to them in their native tongue, singing and waiving the Somali flag! Long time American residents of Minneapolis have no voice, they have no representation by their state officials. They have been overrun and outvoted. This is just one example.
Look no further than New York where an avowed Muslim Socialist has been elected mayor of the largest city in our country that only 24 years ago witnessed the destruction of the World Trade Center buildings by radical Islamic Extremists. Why do we allow leftish professors and students on college campuses to berate our country and protest with Palestinian flags while they burn our American flag? We can point to the open border policies of the Biden Administration, the rise of the left, and previous generous U.S. policies that have created a firestorm that no one saw coming. The latest is the murder of a 20 year old female National Guard member by an Afghani national who drove from Washington State to D.C. to specifically target & attack our guardsmen. The second guardsman he shot lies in critical condition.
There are nefarious actors who want to take our country down, who would like to see it destroyed, even within the Democrats in congress. This is why they attack President Trump incessantly. We cannot allow them to gain ground. Trump's election and his America First policies have foiled their plans for now. He is taking action, pausing migration from 19 countries and looking into the broken vetting process. But the question is, why have so many Americans decided it is wrong to be proud of our country and our identity? When did this dilution of Americanism become acceptable?
The 250th Anniversary of our founding next year will be a great opportunity for us to wake up, step up, and take back our country. This is our new war for American Independence against enemies foreign & domestic who wish to destroy us.
