U.S. Traditions
THE DISCORD THAT PERVADES the country can make it seem we’ve lost our way as a nation. To assess this, and perhaps chart a course correction, it might be helpful to return to our roots. Sometimes we just need a little reminder of who we really are in order to proceed forward at our full potential.
The American Ideal
As the trail-blazer of democracy, the founding documents of the United States not only setup an enduring society, but lit the way for many other countries. What exactly did these documents call for, and what wisdom may we gain from their study?
American Traditions
As a country formed primarily on ideals, instead of ethnic or regional borders, the traditions of the United States play an integral role in our nation’s character and place in the world.
The Role of Faith
From the “Creator” cited in our Declaration of Independence to the faith-inspired orations of Dr. Martin Luther King, faith has been a driving force in America.
Civil Debate
Since the days of colonial America, our communities have relied upon the Town Hall to debate our ideas. Preserving a culture of civil discourse remains vital today.
Consider the Alternative
Many U.S. critics make the mistake of comparing our country to a hypothetical ideal. Set along side the realistic alternatives of the last few centuries offers far more clarity.
Rewriting History to Fuel Division
IDEAS, PARTICULARLY IMPASSIONED ONES, fuel action. And so, a cornerstone of Marxist strategy is to reframe history in order to mobilize one group against another: rich vs. poor, man vs. woman, Black vs. White, Left vs. Right. Then, once a country is sufficiently destabilized, predatory leaders move in to seize power, quelling the unrest they themselves fomented. Over the past decades this tactic has been employed in the U.S. to inspire social upheaval, perfectly following the Marxist playbook. The first step is revising history.
Rewriting History
There has been an effort to rewrite U.S. history, pulling important figures out of their historical context, and reframing conflicts, all with an apparent goal to highlight the sins of our forebears and our country. Are we uncovering facts to help us better understand history as it happened, or are we weaponizing our story for political purposes today?
Founded on Slavery, or on Ideals to Overcome It?
The United States was founded at a time when slavery was common practice around the world, as it had been for thousands of years. That doesn’t make it right—slavery is an abomination—but it is a historical fact. What is uniquely American is what came next.
Genocidal Genesis?
What is the most accurate and complete way to characterize the clash between European settlers and Native Americans?
