Love It Or Leave It

The latest Quinnipiac University poll asked a rather odd question and it had a rather revealing result. If the United States were invaded by a foreign enemy the way Ukraine has been, would you stay and fight for our country or would you flee the country?

A majority of Americans (55%) said they would stay and fight, while 38% said they would flee.

Republicans (68%) and Independents (57%) were the most likely to say they would stay and fight for America. But a majority of Democrats (52%) said they would flee the country. (Can we arrange a "fake invasion" and get rid of these leftists?!)

Well, in the immortal words of that great philosopher and patriot Merle Haggard, "If you don't love it, leave it!" Evidently, a lot of liberals would do just that because they clearly don't love America enough to fight for it.

In all seriousness, I'm disappointed, but I'm hardly surprised by the results.

Progressives have been telling us for years that they hate America. Younger Americans are the least patriotic generation in history. And there's a reason for that: Radical leftists in the government-run schools have been teaching our children anti-American history. 

They have been teaching them Marxist critical race theory, telling them that the country of their birth is evil, that it was evil at its founding and must be "fundamentally transformed." That's why left-wing youth are tearing down statues of Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln.

As I have noted before, why would anyone fight to defend an "evil, systemically racist" country founded on "slavery and genocide"?

That's just a rhetorical question at the moment. But given recent headlines, it's a question parents, policymakers and educators should take much more seriously. 

And it's just more reason why the fight to get critical race theory out of our schools is so important!
