The values of the Secular/Progressive/Statists are not those espoused by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ben Franklin and the rest of the Founders. Those men all believed in the Constitution and the Rule of Law. To the Progressive, those things are just quaint anachronisms of a bygone era, to be followed if at all, only when it suits their purposes.
America
Flag Day 2015
I submit that the American flag is a sacred symbol, indistinguishable from the people and nation it represents. It is more than a national logo, more than a patriotic image on cloth. Every physical manifestation of it is a sacred relic, revered by those who believe in what it stands for.
