I started to write a short comment, something to do with
preparing to celebrate the 4th of July. Oh, well, as often happens; a different
avenue presented itself. Speaking of different roads to go down…
With all the changes in accepted public attitudes is it any
wonder some folks are calling for the destruction of long revered symbols from
the past?
Young rabble rousers have been challenged to stomp on the American Flag, same sex marriage was found to be a God given right in the constitution according to a
recent ruling by the Supreme Court; albeit the use of the term 'God given' was
not used, only that it was a 'right'.
The Confederate Battle Flag was found guilty of racism and banished to the same closet with
the Washington Redskins
logo as it clearly has no place in society today.
The odor of cooking of bacon bothers followers of Islam enough that some restaurants have been
forced to remove it from the menu; mustn’t antagonize our Muslim neighbors who
have been so tolerant of others.
Rumor has it there’s a lawsuit attempting to force a remake
of the movie, Paint Your Wagon. Instead of Clint Eastwood’s character,
Partner, butchering the tune, They Call
the Wind Mariah, a local Imam wants it redone as They Call the Wind Sharia…; claims that because of Islam’s long standing contributions to the founding of America, a claim which Obama has
often referred to as part of America’s great heritage…(forgive me; I’m cleaning
off some excess residue from my brown shoes while writing. Yes, I’ll go to great lengths for a pun)
While were busy changing things, let’s go for the gold…What
say we get a new National Anthem, one that is all inclusive, something that
matches the debauchery which has become acceptable in society?
Cole Porter had a life style that shocked civilized society not too long ago; but his extraordinary talent permitted such indiscretions. In our day he might have trouble keeping up. Porter wrote this catchy little number and it took off like a bat out of hell back in his day, Anything Goes.
Can’t you just see an Olympian stand on the winner’s
block, the new National Anthem of the United States of America played as
the Rainbow Flag is spotlighted for all the world to acknowledge our
accomplishments. The athlete turns his/her
back to the camera, drops his/her drawers and moons everyone. That folks, could very well be our destiny.
While eliminating any and all references to the grand and
glorious history that made America Home of the Brave and Land of the Free,
the Twenty Dollar Bill could easily have a woman’s image on it; perhaps Madalyn Murray O'Hair; and you can bet the farm by the time this happens our money
will cease to have In God We Trust engraved on it.
As this rant comes to a close it’s only appropriate to
follow with another tune, one that reflects my doing a face palm, Look What They’ve Done to My Song…
Before our history is completely wiped clean, removing from
our memory the ramblings of some old White guys, sometimes called our Founding
Fathers…
Let us prepare to celebrate our Independence Day, keeping in
mind many high school graduates believe that July 4th is the day Hot
Dogs were first sold at a televised baseball game; take a moment to appreciate
that once upon a time most folks understood that individual liberty was paid
for by men who mutually pledged to each other their Lives, Fortunes and sacred Honor; and none of
this could have happened without Divine
Intervention.
