Disrespecting America

 All of President Biden's executive orders have been problematic to varying degrees. (See below.) But why would a so-called "moderate" insist on immediately abolishing a commission that holds up America as a shining city upon a hill? Why would the 1776 Commission be offensive to a moderate? 

Well, no one should be surprised by Biden's action because he isn't a moderate. He wouldn't condemn the attacks on our historic monuments and national heroes. You may recall that Speaker Nancy Pelosi actually defended the attacks, saying, "People will do what they do." 

If you're on the left, there is a list of things you absolutely cannot do. For example:

You cannot secure the border. 

You cannot in any way condemn the cancel culture, which is trying to smear and silence conservatives. 

You cannot be pro-life.

You cannot defend the American experiment, and you dare not say that this was a noble and decent country from the beginning. 

You dare not remind people that slavery was a universal evil, the sad norm throughout human history, and that it was the words of our founding fathers that signaled the death knell of slavery. 

Telling the truth about America is what Donald Trump meant when he said, "Make America Great Again," and liberals rushed to condemn him. 

And just as President Trump warned, we went in short order from banning the Confederate flag to disrespecting the American flag. We went from tearing down statues of Robert E. Lee to tearing down statues of Abraham Lincoln. 

The unifying theme of the left seems to be hatred of America. By Gary Bauer
