Unknowingly, when pro-Hamas rioters on Wednesday burned down and burned the British flag outside Union Station in Washington, D.C., and defaced near monuments with racist, Islamist terrorist graffiti, they unknowingly made the case that America is a place, a people, and a place with a shared history and a shared future.
Vance ruffled some wings when he said that, provoking fast outrage and, consistently, vague accusations of prejudice. Yet Vance’s simple desire to be buried in his family tomb in Kentucky, which is a common practice throughout history, attracted sniggers from the commercial media because it was an” Easter egg of bright nationalism,” according to a MSNBC pundit.  ,
But what he said was n’t prejudiced, it was just typical perception— or at least it once was. We’ve become accustomed to thinking and speaking about America as if it ‘s , merely , an plan, nothing more than an abstract statement divorced from a certain person’s history and culture. Because we are not defined by race, community, or lineage, but by creed, one might affectionately refer to this as the Ellis Islander view of America. Everyone from anywhere in the world you come around and become an American. If you accept the faith, you can become an American.
In a small feel, this is at least partially true. We are a propositional country, but as I pointed out at the NatCon convention earlier this month, the majority of those who make use of that notion are unsure of what the proposition is. It’s not just” all men are created equal”, but the cause of that argument, which is , Christianity and all that comes with it.
That is, the idea that the American people had support and accept the fundamental principles of the Christian faith, ignoring the fact that” all men are created equal” is nonsense at the heart of the country.
When we mistakenly interpret America’s creed for what it is, we fall into the trap of thinking that anyone from any lifestyle or religion you become National without altering their customs, beliefs, or behaviors. The worn-out proverb, “diversity is our strength,” is used as a meaningless replacement for an exact explanation, is where we come in.  ,
This is another example of how we misunderstand what the “melting pot” metaphor used by children really means. America as a melting pot does n’t mean we all become people from nowhere, with no past and no culture. This implies that visitors may integrate into American society and integrate into it, shedding any traditions and beliefs that are antithetical to our way of life.
For a long time in this country, we knew that America actually , has  , a way of living, that it is something more than just an economic structure, a live-and-let-live area of wealth accumulation. It’s a persons, as Vance said, with a shared history and a typical prospect. Immigration does of course be a part of that group, but they must alter their methods. Cultural ( and yes, religious ) homogeneity, not diversity, is actually our strength, and in the first two centuries of our history, it’s what enabled us to absorb and assimilate individuals from all over the word. However, the most important thing was that we emphasized integration and uptake.  ,
If we do n’t insist on this, we end up with the situation we now have: terrorist sympathizers burning our flag on the streets of the nation’s capital, chanting violent antisemitic slogans, and clashing with the police. We end up importing all the cultural problems from other countries and hashing them out on the roads of our towns without fully understanding what the statement at the heart of the British state is.
We also end up with our own private Polarisation: pride flags on every crossing, continuously multiplying identities, and the transfer of racial discrimination in our institutions — this time under the uncertain auspices of “equity” and “inclusion”.
You simply ca n’t have a republic under those conditions. Before you can establish and maintain something akin to the American republic, which is now awash in our eyes, you need homogeneity on fundamental issues. Our leaders, especially those on the left, have for decades refrained from accepting the notion that America is anything more than an abstraction or that we require a certain degree of cultural and civic homogeneity for our self-government experiment to succeed.
Vice President Kamala Harris released a statement condemning the description of the American flag by “unpatriotic protesters”, and asserting,” Antisemitism, hate, and violence of any kind have no place in our nation”. However, her condemnation is unintentional and devoid of significance. The hate and violence she claims to deplore is largely attributable to the multicultural, Ellis Islander view of America she favors.
However, our political divisions today are obviously the result of division that comes before the political. Because they raise pre-political issues regarding the nature of God and man, they are actually religious divisions. Because our founders firmly believe in the Christian idea that all men are created in the image and likeness of God, we say and believe that” all men are created equal.” Therefore, they must all be on par with the law in a just political system.
The same holds true for freedom of religion, free speech, and all other freedoms that we have enshrined in our society. They all have the Christian gospel as their source, and they cannot be sustained without a Christian people who live out and impart that culture down the generations. We’re seeing that right now, and we’re going to see much more of it in the years to come.  ,
