As we stand on the eve of July 4th, many Americans are quietly gripped by a deep fear: that we are watching our nation slip away.
Just like children who never learn to appreciate their parents’ sacrifices, a nation that forgets the value of what it inherited will eventually lose it.
That is exactly what’s happening right now.
Far too many Americans support open borders, treating illegal entry as harmless. Once here, the claim is made that simply being born on this soil gives their children full citizenship. It is the same logic as robbing a bank and then declaring the stolen money rightfully belongs to your children simply because they now hold it.
Even worse, many now believe that if you are different in race, sex, gender, religion, or culture, you are entitled to the earnings and property of your fellow Americans. They cloak this entitlement in accusations of racism, sexism, or xenophobia.
This spirit is deeply un-American. It is the very thing our Founders rejected when they fought the Revolutionary War.
Beautiful ideals like “all men are created equal” and “land of the free” cannot, by themselves, preserve a republic.
We must fiercely defend our Constitutional Republic and the Western Judeo-Christian culture of individual liberty, personal responsibility, and rule of law that built this nation.
As Benjamin Franklin warned, we have “a republic, if you can keep it.”
Have the conversation with your children, your friends, and your family — even if it becomes uncomfortable or heated. Because only through honest conversation can we rekindle true gratitude and find the will to defend this republic… lest we lose it.
LIVE GRATEFUL. 🇺🇸
