How many folks do you think there are in this country that agree with that sentiment?
I know a whole bunch who do not:
waving their flag, burning ours...must be a democrat |
Wonder how all these violent, America hating illegals gained entry to our country?
Ask any democrat; it was their pet project for the last four years.
The results of a <recent Gallup poll> revealed the depth of the moral divide in our country, and disturbing truths about the decline in patriotism.
While 92% of republicans say they're proud to be American, only 36% of democrats agree.
Why is this a big deal?
Think of the founding of America:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness."
If you agree with that statement, then you're proud to be part of a country that strives, however imperfectly, toward that ideal.
If you disagree?
If you don't believe in the Creator, and don't believe our rights come from God rather than government?
Then you're not proud to be part of America; you disagree with its founding and you’re fine with tearing it down.
It's no surprise republicans are on one side of this issue and democrats on the other; it has ever been thus.
Democrats were the party of slavery in the 1800's; it was republican Abraham Lincoln who freed the slaves.
Today they're the party of abortion: 77% of republicans are pro-life; 83% of democrats are pro-abortion.
What's the common thread?
A disregard for the sanctity of God's gift of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
To be in favor of slavery you must see others as less than human; they can be property if it suits you.
To be in favor of killing babies in utero, you must see them as less than human; they can be disposed of if it suits you.
This moral divide will have to be addressed, because as Lincoln quoted from the gospel of Mark chapter 3 back in 1860, "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand."
We need a revival in this country, a return to our roots of belief in God and respect for His laws.
In the meantime, I hope you and yours enjoy a wonderful Independence Day celebration.
Be thankful you live in a country founded upon belief in God; the One who gives us our rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.
Happy 4th of July!
later, mcm fans...
