This week is the Birthday of our Nation, 232 years ago the Founding Fathers wrote a document, The Declaration of Independence, which was heavily influenced by the writings of our organization?s namesake, John Locke.
Today at the National Review, Thomas Sowell raises the question ?Does Patriotism Matter??
He compares the current culture in America to that of Europe after
World War I, when the push for internationalism and pacifism was great
among the teachers? unions in France. Sowell writes:
Most Americans today are unaware of how much our schools have
followed in the footsteps of the French schools of the 1920s and 1930s,
or how much our intellectuals have become citizens of the world instead
of American patriots.
I believe that America is still worth standing up for, after all we’re
fighting for liberty here at JLF everyday. I encourage you to
read the Declaration this week, and as the Founders summed it up in the last sentence:
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the
Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our
Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.
God Bless America!
