Loving America shouldn't be controversial. So why do Dems want you to be ashamed?
By: Rep. Jim Jordan
America is the greatest and most exceptional nation ever to exist in the history of the world. We are a nation founded by divine Providence that recognizes that all our inalienable rights come from God who is our creator who created us all equal in his sight. We are one nation under God, indivisible. We are out of many one. A nation that In God we Trust. Our founders were enlightened persons who strive to put us on the path to making a better world. We forged a new path striving to create a more perfect Union from day one onward. Being fallen humans we have made mistakes along the way. We recognize them make corrections and move on. We don’t fixate on all the mistakes and make them our total history denying all the good things like CRT and 1619 progressives do. America is a beacon of light to the world and had accomplished so much and led in innovation and invention from early on. We as Americans have much to be proud of and stand tall for. And if us celebrating America as founded along with our July 4 1776 history, our culture, and traditions annoy progressives and hate America as sone of their July 4 articles did this year, so be it. We are going to fly our flags from our pickups, and plant them on our lawns to spite those who are embarrassed by what our exceptional nation is.
American freedoms are under attack. You can already see our liberties eroding...
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
America is the greatest country in the history of the world. But, among Democrats in Washington, D.C., saying so is downright controversial.
Democrats want you to believe that the United States is a fundamentally racist country. They want you to believe that our founding ideals and the institutions of our government are illegitimate. And, worst of all, they want to indoctrinate your children with this dangerous thinking.
Why do Democrats in Washington want you to feel so ashamed to be an American?
Simple—it’s all about power .
Democrats want to implement far-left policies and radically restructure American society. They control the White House and the House of Representatives. Only the Supreme Court and deadlocked Senate stand in their way.
That’s why Democrats want to make the District of Columbia a state, in order to bring two new Democrat senators to Congress. That’s why Democrats have called the Senate filibuster, which they used just last year to block Republican-sponsored police reform, a "Jim Crow relic." And that’s why Democrats want to pack the Supreme Court with four new left-wing Justices appointed by President Biden.
Democrats want to reshape America to fit their progressive vision of a cradle-to-grave entitlement state run by anonymous bureaucrats and social justice warriors. To accomplish this goal, they must remove the institutional roadblocks in their way. So Democrats have begun a campaign to characterize our long-held practices and institutions as racist and illegitimate—and therefore primed for elimination or fundamental change.
Amid this progressive onslaught, American freedoms are under attack. You can already see our liberties eroding.
Each of the fundamental freedoms enshrined in the First Amendment has been threatened over the last year. Big Tech and Big Government have been colluding to silence free speech online. Draconian lock-down orders prevented congregations from assembling to practice their faith. And even today, you cannot petition your congressperson for a redress of grievances because Speaker Nancy Pelosi refuses to let you visit the Capitol.
Now take the Second Amendment. The Biden Administration has begun an all-out assault on the right to keep and bear arms. The ATF has already rolled out regulations to try to restrict gun rights. And President Biden has nominated an ATF director who wants to radically limit Second Amendment rights.
Democrats have weakened and outright ignored the rule of law. Last summer, prominent Democrats condoned left-wing violence that destroyed American cities. Then-Senator Harris even raised money to bail out violent rioters. Nowadays, Vice President Harris and other Democrats look the other way as an unprecedented surge of illegal immigrants enter the country.
In all these respects and more, Democrats want to tear apart the very fabric of America and radically change the way our government works. They are destroying foundational principles of federalism and separation of powers to mandate one-size-fits-all bureaucratic edicts. They believe that the so-called experts in Washington know better about local concerns than the moms and dads in neighborhoods across our great country.
Sure, America isn’t perfect—no person is, and no country is. Like our Constitution says, we’re always striving toward a more perfect union. While it took far too long, our country ended the evil of slavery and guaranteed equal treatment under the law to all Americans.
But Republicans recognize that the United States, despite her faults, is unique and indispensable. We championed the great experiment of representative democracy.
We liberated Europe and East Asia from the tyranny of fascism and saved the world from the oppression of communism.
We sent men to the moon and brought about the digital age.
We have created the greatest amount of prosperity for the greatest number of people in the history of the world.
We should honor and appreciate the qualities and values that make us the greatest country in the history of the world. While we should always work to achieve a more perfect union, we must protect our fundamental American freedoms. And, most of all, we should never be ashamed of our great country.
God bless America.

When he was a wrestling coach in Ohio he looked the other way when another coach was molesting young boys.
God bless America indeed.
Who? Proof?
As of 06/28/21 at least 360 plaintiffs had file 28 lawsuits against both Dr Strauss and Ohio University.
Jim Jordan has been implicated by other coaches, players and a referee.
Ohio State has already set up a Strauss Settlement Program in May while lawsuits continue to roll in.
There you go.
Once again, for probably the thousandth day in a row , you post a genuflecting reference to the Founding. If what happened after the founding had been that great for everyone you wouldnt have to talk about the founding every day.
Dont you think there might be two parts to "American ideals"? 1. would be how they are signified which would be through documents and speeches etc, and 2. would be how they are applied in reality.
We have a long history of American ideals not being equally applied to all. We are trying to make it better now. Get over it.
Your approach is to keep repeating the ideals as if the words are all that matters, not the actions.
