Are we to believe that the Confederate flag poses a great peril
to our nation? Do you suppose, as I do that it poses a greater threat to our national
conscience and heritage.
The current fiery dispute over the Confederate flag improperly
displayed on state property or for that matter anywhere shows an acute loss of historic consciousness. It reveals
the risks of allowing liberal socialist leaning ideologues to decree what is known and
can be said about our past.
Does not one see partisan parochial axes being sharpened in all this?
Some individuals appear almost fervent to discuss the Confederate flag as
though its continued public display in the South is primarily the result of Conservative
activism. For what it is worth, in my opinion this rationale is illogical and
borders on the absurd. I ask you, my “open-minded” liberal brethren, do you see
the spirit of Lincoln in any of the accusatory social media expressions of
outrage? Can we see the goodwill or benevolence in all this? Is this not a self-righteousness
that Lincoln disdained? I believe so. It is apparent that a time for score
settling, for pursuing the long-term mission of destroying America’s past, for fundamentally changing America has
arrived.
