In fact, Democratic love of country has always fallen far behind that of Republicans, even during the Obama era, when it hit a temporary high of just over 50% (Republicans at the time said they were extremely proud of the country at a rate of approximately 70%).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why is it that liberals in the United States are so much less proud of America than conservatives? These days, the answer typically given is America\u2019s inherent sinfulness; there is nothing in the American founding worth conserving. On Independence Day, Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO) tweeted, \u201cThe Declaration of Independence was written by enslavers and didn\u2019t recognize Black people as human. Today is a great day to demand Reparations Now.\u201d Congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) similarly tweeted, \u201cThis July 4th, we must remember that we stand on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fourth-of-july-squad-members-scold-america-for-stolen-land-and-slavery\/\" title=\"'Fourth of July: 'Squad' members criticize America for historical injustices.'\">stolen land toiled<\/a> by enslaved Africans and recommit ourselves to the fight for freedom, equality, &#038; justice so that these ideals are accessible to everyone, not just a privileged few. We are not free until everyone is truly free.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>America, to these types, is a platform for utopianism rather than a set of ideals worthy of emulation.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Declaration of Independence was a lie; the Constitution was merely a guise for power. And the quest for a perfect world must begin in tearing down such institutions with whatever means are at our disposal. The ends justify the means.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thus, while Democrats fulminate over supposed threats to democracy, a federal judge this week ruled that the Biden administration violated the First Amendment in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-road-to-serfdom-rep-donalds-slams-biden-administration-for-pressuring-social-media-to-censor-speech\/\" title=\"\u2018The Road To Serfdom\u2019: Rep. Donalds Slams Biden Administration For Pressuring Social Media \u2018To Censor Speech\u2019\">pressuring social media companies<\/a> to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tom-cotton-introduces-bill-to-keep-critical-race-theory-out-of-military\/\" title=\"Tom Cotton Introduces Bill To Keep Critical Race Theory Out Of Military\">restrict free speech<\/a> regarding covid and the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, among others; the Supreme Court ruled that the Biden White House had violated its constitutional boundaries in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/do-you-love-america\/\" title=\"Love America?\">waiving student loan debt<\/a>. Biden\u2019s response: he pledged to utilize the executive branch to work around the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Respect for the founding means respect for founding principles.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Biden and his ilk have used a misinterpretation of one founding principle \u2014 \u201cequality\u201d \u2014 to vitiate the natural rights for which the founders originally fought. When the founders said that \u201call men are created equal,\u201d they meant specifically that human beings had been \u201cendowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.\u201d They did <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> mean, as Biden suggests, that all human beings ought to be <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">made<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> equal in result, or that indeed, all human beings are equal in all capacities. Biden\u2019s idea is utopian nonsense; the founders\u2019 idea was grounded in millennia of evidence and Judeo-Christian tradition.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Patriots celebrate the founding for what it was: a breakthrough in the nature of human governance, a ringing statement in favor of liberty from the heavy hand of tyranny.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Today, too many celebrate the founding only as a platform for future change \u2014 change that would annihilate the ideals of the founding along the road to a \u201chigher good.\u201d This, presumably, is why Republicans are far more patriotic than Democrats even while saying that America is in the midst of a moral crisis; meanwhile, Democrats are far less patriotic while suggesting pride in America\u2019s current moral state. Conservatives are disappointed with man\u2019s sinfulness, but proud of the founders\u2019 ideals; many liberals are disappointed with the founders\u2019 ideals, and proud of man\u2019s sinfulness.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On July 4th, only 29% of Democrats express immense pride in America, along with 33% of independents and 60% of Republicans.
