The natural law enjoins us to love devotedly and to defend the country in which we were born, and in which we were brought up, so that every good citizen hesitates not to face death for his native land…. We are bound, then, to love dearly the country whence we have received the means of engagement this mortal life affords

Just a quick PSA, since we Gen Xers didn’t seem to pass on a lot of the basic wisdom we learned growing up. Don’t get cold feet. Ladies, I was told many, many years ago by a woman that she could stay comfortable in colder weather as long as she kept her feet warm. This allowed her, much to my pleasure, to forego a lot of the rest of a cold weather outfit. 😉

Honestly, I’m actually expecting it to happen… assuming, of course, that it hasn’t already happened. 😉 Given the current economic crisis, the Dems’ pandering to their current and future voters, and the horrific state of elder care in America, it just makes sense that some old people would try to game the system this way. And, more power to them if they do!

Times have certainly changed, especially in the realm of work. But hey! At least Jason isn’t trying to do the whole remote thing and do his job from home via Zoom or Teams. 😆

There’s no doubt that America, like all nations, cultures, and peoples, is a land partially built upon myths. Just listen to a Liberal rant when they hear about making America great again, or an American when Liberals try to rewrite – normally to a more Black and White – parts of history. In both cases, there will be an immediate acknowledgment that this is so. Simply put, America is Americana as much as anything else.
But now, 23 years – approximately an entire generation – since the Muslims enacted the greatest act of terrorism in modern history, we seem to have a new American myth, that of widespread unity in the aftermath of 9/11. And, that is what and all it is – a myth, a wondrous but false bit of exceptionalism to be added to Americana.
The truth is that by 9/12 various Democrats were already online, proudly proclaiming that the attack was America’s fault and we deserved it and worse. The truth is that by 9/12 the were many Muslims celebrating the attack, and others whose only concern over it was their fear of Americans’ response. The truth is that 9/12 literally was when Democrats brought the term “Islamophobia” to the forefront of sociopolitical discourse, and it was the inception of what has become #Wokeness.
No. Our nation coming together as one on 9/12 is just a new American myth. Many of us did, but far too many within our borders chose to side with the Muslim terrorists instead, and many more than that chose to politically profiteer off of it.
