Happy Independence Day, or, as the left might call it this year, “Original Sin Saturday.” July 4th is when we celebrate the birth of The United States. But, whereas you commemorate the inception of what Lincoln called “the last best hope of earth,” liberals lament that flawed people had the audacity to create a flawed nation. Then, that flawed nation had the bad taste to prosper!
It’s that left-wing understanding of America that’s behind the push to erase or blur our history. The purge of the Confederate flag is currently the noisiest, but by no means the only, prong of the attack from activists and academics and the media who love them.
Take for example, the secular liberal effort to erase the nation’s Christian foundation. Don’t believe me? Ask Huffington Post, Salon, Alternet, The New York Times or the angry atheist groups. The Constitution established no state religion and left it at that. To suggest that the Founders worked to create this nation in a secular vacuum uninformed by Judeo-Christian ideas and free of shared Christian assumptions about good and evil, responsibility and sin is an ahistorical farce.
But liberals are on a mission, and inconvenient facts are unwelcome. From the people on our money to the content of our textbooks and the interpretations of our founding documents, American leftists seek to obfuscate, distort and erase our history. Here are four of the ways.
