Drunk On Wokeism

Almost everybody has an embarrassing story of a drunk relative who ruined a family gathering or holiday get-together. That's what the American left did this weekend during America's 245th birthday party. It showed up drunk on wokeism. 

Nothing was spared. No sacred icon or historical figure from our noble past was off limits. No table was left unturned by not one but a whole drunk family of leftist malcontents. Here are some of the worst incidents.

• College students in our nation's capital said they were "embarrassed" to be American. Those who said America isn't the greatest nation in the world struggled to name a better country.

• The Nation, a far-left media outfit, attacked our Founding Fathers as "colonizers," and declared that "American exceptionalism is grounded in racism and militarism."

• The New York Times attacked the Stars and Stripes, suggesting it was no longer a unifying symbol because conservatives love the flag.

• A Washington Post columnist declared the Statue of Liberty "a symbol of hypocrisy or unfulfilled promises."

• An opinion piece also in the Post declared that celebrating our 250th birthday will be difficult because "it may be less clear than ever what it is we are celebrating."

• "Defund NPR" was trending yesterday after the taxpayer-funded media outlet critiqued the Declaration of Independence as "a document with flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies."

• Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) tweeted this: "When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they're referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren't free."

If a wrecking crew arrived at a party this intent on destroying it, we'd call the police. But that would only outrage this gang even more because they hate the police too! If the Chinese communists wanted to disrespect us on our birthday, they couldn't have done a better job than our so-called "fellow Americans" did. 

Speaking of communist China, it did have something to say about July 4th. Beijing's official propaganda outlet published an editorial that could have been written by Rep. Cori Bush, Bernie Sanders or AOC. It slammed America as "selfish," stated that racial strife is "almost unbridgeable" and declared that America is now "in its least confident stage."
