Most of us have the Pledge of Allegiance memorized, having recited it in grade school.
Given the current divisiveness in America, not as many people fully understand the significance of the phrase “for which it stands.” Some individuals show more loyalty to flags like the Pride flag, the Palestinian flag, the Mexican flag, and other symbols of resistance.
However, according to Politico, the Democratic Party’s recent efforts to win back voters involve a renewed focus on the American Flag, the oldest symbol of our nation:
Just days before Flag Day and President Donald Trump’s military parade in Washington, Democratic Representatives Pat Ryan (D-N.Y.) and Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.) distributed gifts on Thursday afternoon to their fellow lawmakers in an attempt to foster unity.
It was a 4-inch-by-6-inch American flag, which they passed out at almost the exact moment, unbeknownst to them, that Sen. Alex Padilla was getting forcibly removed and handcuffed at a Homeland Security press conference in Los Angeles — an act House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries would later call “unpatriotic.”
We’ll ignore Politico’s reference to Padilla and the absurd comment from Jeffries.
The letter that accompanied the flags read:
Patriotism does not belong to one party. The flag, and the values it stands for, belong to every single American.
Are you sure about that, my Democrat friends?
Every single American, including American parents who don’t want their young children indoctrinated at school by left-wing teachers who feed them insane nonsense about so-called “transgenderism”?
And what about every single patriotic American who opposes 12 million illegal aliens in our country? And I’m only talking about those who crossed our borders during the disastrous four years of the Biden administration after the former president all but stood at the border and waved them in.
And what about every single American political writer who’s been censored on social media, or by Google?
The list goes on.
