Just look at much of the rest of the world: squabbling separatist hate groups killing each other by the thousands; weak, indecisive leadership encouraging corrupt and unstable governance, unable to keep the peace and unable to serve the needs of their populace.

“E Pluribus Unum.” “Together we stand, divided we fall.” There is truth in these mottos.

Socialists began taking over the Democratic Party during the early sixties with the long range goal of destroying American ideals from within. Judging from what we see in politics today, they are making deep inroads into the Republican party as well.

(Does anyone else remember Nikita Khrushchev – Premier of Soviet Union from 1958 to 1964 – saying “We will bury you without firing a shot.”)

Institutionalizing ideas such as “separatist graduations” plays directly into these efforts.

Sadly, if we try to stand for everything, we will stand for nothing.

Without a clear vision regarding who we want to be as a nation (and a culture), and, without the strength and will to make that vision into a reality, the ‘Great American Experiment’ will become less than a footnote in the politically correct textbooks of the future.

We are quickly running out of time (and the freedom) to change the course upon which we find ourselves.
