OPINION:
After studying the Declaration and U.S. Constitution for many years, I’ve come to the conclusion that something’s missing.
President Reagan said: “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” The founder of the Italian Communist Party, Antonio Gramsci, said: “Any country grounded in Judaeo-Christian values can’t be overthrown until those roots are cut.” He died in prison in 1937 and his notes were translated and published by Joseph Buttigieg (father of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg) in 1970.
With Gramsci’s teaching of cancel culture and a large secular population, enormous numbers are blind to the values of American freedom. Today’s youth are being taught to conform to socialism in America’s classrooms by taxpayer-funded administrators and staff, under control of elected school-board members. Gramsci’s ideas have influenced the beliefs of the progressive left, including Black Lives Matter, antifa and more.
Like Marx, Gramsci wrote that Christianity was the enemy of the Communist revolution. A Christian belief in the importance of the role of a father in the family was a primary obstacle. Like Marx, Gramsci advocated attacking and demeaning Christianity, the family and fatherhood. His writings and ideas have become the platform of our government, from D.C. to local city halls.
Critical race theory is part of cancel culture and teaches that whites, heterosexuals, males and Christians are racists. This is part of the tearing down of America.
So, what did the Founders forget? To add a paragraph to the First Amendment, which reads as follows: “Be it mandated that all students (K-12) educated in the United States with taxpayer money be educated in the Holy Bible as translated by King James in the year 1611.”
