The Left has gone to great lengths to tear down the American Identity and its Myths.\u00a0 By foisting identity politics into the center of the culture and openly destroying all the historical icons; The Founding Fathers, various heroes and even the institution of the family; they\u2019ve snapped the bonds that united the people living here.\u00a0 Now this was done intentionally to encourage strife between people based on race, sex and sexuality.<\/p>\n
And to a very great extent they\u2019ve been wildly successful.\u00a0 I can attest to that personally.\u00a0 They\u2019ve managed to make patriotic allegiance to the current regime in Washington look like a sad joke.\u00a0 And they\u2019ve drained the joy out of sports, fraternal organizations and even the Boy Scouts.\u00a0 Even many mainline Christian denominations have been infected with woke hatred for what this country used to be.<\/p>\n
Wildly successful.<\/p>\n
So, all that\u2019s true.\u00a0 They\u2019ve smashed the culture down to the ground.\u00a0 But at the same time, that means we\u2019re free to build from the ground up.\u00a0 We can keep whatever we want from the old.\u00a0 We can toss out whatever no longer suits us and we can add in whatever helps us to build a new identity and new myths.<\/p>\n
And I\u2019m sure it\u2019s already happening.\u00a0 When the Left rejects the Fourth of July and embraces instead \u201cJuneteenth,\u201d it allows us to take ownership of the Fourth and make it what we want it to be.\u00a0 Maybe it can have a double meaning.\u00a0 It looks back to the original founding of the country but now it can also stand for a new declaration of independence.\u00a0 We can declare ourselves independent of the coercive guilt that the Left tried to force on us.\u00a0 We can begin to build our own organizations and platforms and companies that serve our needs.\u00a0 Eventually we\u2019ll build a new political party that will replace the Republican Party too.<\/p>\n
But most important we\u2019ll create new myths to replace the old ones that have been shown to be obsolete.\u00a0 These things will be the hardest of all to replace.\u00a0 The hardest one to lose was the myth that all Americans were brothers.\u00a0 That despite all of our differences and squabbles when the chips were down, we would all band together to fix problems and strive to make America the shining city on the hill where our children would inherit a better and richer world than we had.\u00a0 But the Left has burned that dream in the streets of the George Floyd insurrection.\u00a0 We are not one nation and the Left is not under God and liberty and justice is not for all but only for the favored ones that the regime elects.<\/p>\n
So that\u2019s what we\u2019ll have to do.\u00a0 We\u2019ll make our own rules and our own ways of working with each other and against those who hate us.\u00a0 And we\u2019ll come up with stories that explain how things work in the new world we now live in.<\/p>\n
Maybe it won\u2019t be a single new identity.\u00a0 The days of a single culture or even a couple of cultures may give way to a host of different identities.\u00a0 I could see the Hispanic people dominating the Southwest and the Northeast remaining as the old New England identity mixed with a hodge-podge of things added.\u00a0 The Old South might rise again.\u00a0 But what won\u2019t happen is a return to what was.\u00a0 You have to believe in a myth to keep it alive and the old American myth is as dead as a dodo.\u00a0 And no amount of flag waving or exhortations for God to bless America can bring it back.\u00a0 The Left buried it and they\u2019ll have to live with the consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
