The FBI raided President Donald Trump’s home at Mar a Lago for undisclosed secret documents from his presidency. This after the Trump organization had voluntarily given the National Archives everything they had previously asked for. Why the sudden turnaround with a public armed attack on Donald Trump and family?
When I grew up, in the 1950’s, the United States of America was a free country. When that 48 star flag passed by in a parade, grown men removed their baseball caps, holding them over their hearts.
We knew my Daddy and his generation recently saved the world from total evil. We would not live in a world where either a madman on a mountain in Germany; or another madman on an island in the Pacific, would enslave mankind.
This was because our people loved freedom, respected our own government and knew American soldiers, sailors and marines had died under that flag. They died. . . that freedom might live!
Even my entertainment as a boy was reading how Superman fought for “TRUTH JUSTICE AND THE AMERICAN WAY!”
One of our many peacetime heroes was J. Edgar Hoover and dedicated federal law enforcement officers defending the underdog, living by the rule of law and saving us from communism.
I have worn the uniform of my country, killed its enemies, been decorated for it and nobody ever loved America, respected the flag, or loved those who have worn uniforms, any more than I have.
America changed this week.
We have endured our own “night of the long knives.” The once respected FBI is the new GESTAPO. The flag with fifty stars is causing me a bit of cognitive dissonance.
I urge my friends in the tea party movement to respectfully furl the Gadsden flag. (I have a large one displayed behind me as I write these words.)
I urge my Southern Compatriots, beside whom I have marched, written and spoken in defense of our heritage; to respectfully furl the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears the single star, and all the other Confederate flags. (I have the well recognized battle flag displayed in a window behind me, over the portraits of Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson on horseback.)
When patriots rise to stomp out the rot that has sunk us below the respect normally shown to a South American banana republic; we need to march – and if necessary fight – under the 48 star flag.
That will send the message, we are honoring our oaths to the constitution and fighting to preserve Truth Justice and the American way.
What was done this week to Donald Trump was neither Truth, Justice nor the American way.
