The Squad’s Insanity May Be The New Story For Independence Day
Highly Respected ^ | July 6, 2023 | Scott Greer

Posted on 07/06/2023 7:58:19 PM PDT by River Hawk

The Squad celebrated July Fourth by condemning the country they represent. “This July 4th, we must remember that we stand on stolen land toiled by enslaved Africans and recommit ourselves to the fight for freedom, equality, & justice so that these ideals are accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few,” tweeted Rep. Jamaal Bowman. “We are not free until everyone is truly free.”

“The Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and didn’t recognize Black people as human,” declared Rep. Cori Bush on Twitter. “Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now.” The tweet signed off with a brown fist.

Are these voices just nutty outliers, or do they indicate a significant change in our society? It’s more the latter. While the majority is still largely patriotic, the youth are a different story. A March WSJ poll found that just 23 percent of Americans under 30 say patriotism is important.

Bowman and Bush reflect the views of a sizable number of young Americans. The percentage of unpatriotic Americans will grow over time. It’s the intended goal of 1619 Project education.

Bowman and Bush don’t hate America for its “freedom” or because of capitalism. They attack America because it was founded by whites. They seek a new founding story that makes non-whites the central characters and demonizes the founding stock. If anti-white racism triumphs in the classroom, that story will be the theme of woke Independence Day.

“We are not free until everyone is truly free.”

Dear Jamaal, can you please name, specifically, those who are not free?

I guess this is only fair. Normal people scoff at and laugh at the ridiculous notion that Juneteenth is a special high holy day, and a national holiday.

That being the case, these people feel the need to laugh at and ridicule Independence Day.

This is just more nonsensical and insane ideology by the demonrats.

My ancestors scratched out a living in northern Alabama, then in Texas from the late 1700’s to the late 1800’s. Many died along the way from disease, Indian raids and other factors.
None of them were slave owners.

Gold digger Cori Bush is hardly a sympathetic advocate for reparations. She always has her greedy paws out.

[...] we stand on stolen land toiled by enslaved Africans [...]

We gave them our language, too - but they misuse it.

One cannot toil land. Perhaps they mean "tilled?!"

You’re right. Was it meant to be toiled or tilled?

“When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.”

Daniel Webster


The great bluesman Buddy Guy recalled in his autobiography having to guide a plow while holding the reins in a wagon drawn by a mule when he was young. The hot Louisiana sun beat down on him on the sharecropper parents’ farm and he said there is no more nauseating smell than a mule passing gas and dropping wet crap ahead of you. That would be toil.

Current welfare recipients—

Avoiding toil
this land they spoil
and with riots roil
the laws they foil
and our cities they soil.

-I made up just now.
