Culture

America was created by its Founders based on what it was “meant to be,” not what it “might be.” America today is not what it was meant to be but sliding swiftly under President Obama to something else.

I am 100% Italian, the offspring of family existing in a region of Europe for so long it’s beyond grasp. My family surname is 2,000 years old. I bring this up to make a point, not to impress you. My parents are from the “old country.” My father went to the 4th grade, while mother, the 6th. As I entered my teen years, it was a mystery of sorts to me as to amount of wisdom each had, yet so little education. One day (true story) I asked my father, “How come?” My father answered, “We trust our culture!”

America, as a nation, is over 235 years old. Enough time, now, to reasonable say, we have an established American culture. Until very recently, we Americans used to trust that culture because America was what it was meant to be.  Americans, even newly arrived immigrants, functioned well based on their acceptance of the American culture. My parents learned it well and quick. That was the time of the 1900-50’s.

I lament less today about Obamacare or other present-day Washington establishment moves, than I do about losing our American culture. America is a Judea-Christian nation established in our culture. Sharia law is foreign to it. The liberals promoting the introduction of other cultures in America say that America was meant to evolve over time, meaning putting it in the “might be” category. No! Our Founding fathers knew exactly what they designed as a nation, and today is not what they “meant” America to be.
