Wesley Hunt Introduces Resolution for &#8220;American Pride Month&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) has made a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nyt-defends-mara-gays-disturbing-american-flags-statement-social-media-pounds-them\/\" title=\"NYT Defends Mara Gay\u2019s \u2018Disturbing\u2019 American Flags Statement. Social Media Pounds Them.\">bold move<\/a> in the House of Representatives this week by introducing a resolution to designate July as &#8220;American Pride Month.&#8221; This comes as a challenge to the &#8220;woke&#8221; corporations that celebrated LGBT Pride month in June.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of this resolution is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/7-times-biden-divided-the-country-despite-calling-for-unity\/\" title=\"7 Times Biden Divided The Country, Despite Calling For \u201cUnity\u201d\">promote patriotism<\/a> and honor the monumental achievements of the United States of America. It aims to increase awareness of the countless number of patriots throughout American history who have made this nation the last best hope of earth.<\/p>\n<h3>A Call for American Exceptionalism<\/h3>\n<p>In a statement, Hunt expressed his personal connection to American exceptionalism, saying, &#8220;My family and I served this nation in combat. American exceptionalism means something to me, and I want it to mean something again to future generations of Americans.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hunt is urging his colleagues on both sides of the aisle to enthusiastically support this resolution, emphasizing the importance of teaching, celebrating, and remembering American history.<\/p>\n<p>To further promote American pride, Hunt plans to make a pro-America social media post every day throughout July, using the hashtag #AmericanPrideMonth. His goal is to start a viral campaign that will honor the United States and rekindle patriotism among Americans.<\/p>\n<h3>A Challenge to the White House and Woke Corporations<\/h3>\n<p>This resolution also serves as a challenge to the Biden administration and woke corporations. During LGBT Pride month, rainbow flags were flown, including one at the White House flanked by two American flags. Hunt questions whether these same entities will fly the American flag as proudly in July as they did the LGBTQ flag in June.<\/p>\n<p>As Hunt emphasizes, it is crucial for the U.S. to remember the words of President Ronald Reagan: &#8220;If we forget what we did, we won&#8217;t know who we are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent Gallup poll, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/bidens-america-patriotism-hits-record-low-vast-majority-of-all-americans-reject-direction-of-country\/\" title=\"Biden\u2019s America: Patriotism Hits Record Low, Vast Majority Of All Americans Reject Direction Of Country\">extreme pride<\/a> in the country is at a low point, with only 39% of Americans claiming to be &#8220;extremely&#8221; proud to be American. However, a total of 67% of the country still feels some level of pride in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting that extreme American pride reached an all-time high of 70% in 2003, two years after 9\/11, but has been declining since 2005. In 2018, it dropped below 50% for the first time since the poll&#8217;s inception in January 2001.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Wesley Hunt&#8217;s resolution for &#8220;American Pride Month&#8221; aims to reverse this trend and reignite a sense of patriotism among Americans.<\/p>\n<p><em>Click here to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rep.
