There are plenty of politicians who would like to tell you what the First Amendment means or what the Second Amendment says, but what you may not realize is: They are twisting, spinning, or outright lying. Do not trust them. Neither should you trust their puppets, the mainstream media, who merely regurgitate everything they are spoon fed. Neither should you trust Hollywood with all their “historical” movies that are based on more fiction than their plastic surgeries combined. In fact, don’t trust anyone.
Our government would have us believe that we are too stupid to understand such complicated documents as the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. English, particularly Olde English is sooo hard to read, don’t you know. Our government officials want to paraphrase them for us, interpret them for us, simplify them for us and in so doing they are completely changing what they mean. And they are doing this with a purpose!
Our government through our educational system began the indoctrination of our children some time ago. Known by such names as Common Core, the 1619 Project, and critical race theory, the goal is to slowly, over time, change the wording of all our founding documents and rewrite our history. Our children have been and are being taught revised wording and told that it has always said this. Inattentive parents don’t realize their children are being taught an incorrect version. These children are growing up believing in a different history, a different Constitution and a different Bill of Rights; and will gladly rollover and bow down to an increasingly oppressive government.
In our household, we took an active role in our children’s education. When they came home from school having learned something counter to the truth, we re-educated them. We complained to the school district about what they were teaching or how our conservative children were being treated by their teachers and their peers, but it was often in vain. If we could afford a private school or had the means to home-school, we would have.
In his book, Animal Farm, George Orwell shows us exactly how this works. The community’s “rules” are written on the barn wall, but the pigs sneak out in the middle of the night and make small, subtle, changes to the words. When another animal dares to question “the writing on the wall,” the pigs say it has always been this way and they say it with such conviction that the other animals go blindly along and take the “new” wording as Gospel. If you have not read or have read and forgotten Animal Farm, we highly recommend that you read it. Reading it in today’s context is frightening. It will chill you to the bone just how accurately Orwell predicted what is happening right now.
To counter the indoctrination in our schools, in September 2020, President Trump said he would create a commission to promote “patriotic education” and announced the creation of a grant to develop a “pro-American curriculum.” Trump said schools need to focus on “the legacy of 1776,” when American Colonies declared independence from Great Britain. We agree wholeheartedly.
The newly formed committee, Trump said, will be called the “1776 Commission.” We couldn’t be more excited. We hope it succeeds, but can it undo the damage that has already been done to current generations? They seem all too content to believe the lies they were taught even when the truth is presented to them.
Now is the time to take matters into your own hands and read for yourself what our Founding Fathers wrote more than two centuries ago. Feel their conviction, hear their passion as they write about their freedoms—our freedoms and why they are worth protecting and fighting for.
Following is a list of reading suggestions and the founding documents we have right here on this site (simply click on the links):
The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Don’t trust anything you might find in your child’s school book. Read the original versions. We have them posted here under historical documents.
The Bible. Someday, very soon we think, it may become a banned book. It’s only a matter of time before the liberal socialists have it branded as hate-speech. If you don’t have at least one version in the house, we suggest you get one.
George Orwell’s Animal Farm and 1984. Both of these books were written more than 50 years ago and are fictional works; however, they are extremely relevant to today and are fast becoming frighteningly, shockingly, real. We are living in Animal Farm now and we are rapidly becoming the world of 1984 and Big Brother’s eye is more and more upon us. With very few exceptions, don’t believe what you hear on television or watch in a movie theater. Be suspicious of so called documentaries. Don’t believe what comes home in your child’s text book. Take matters into your own hands and read for yourself. Educate yourself. Don’t be sheep blindly following whatever the pigs say or you may find yourself a horse being led to your own slaughter.
