It&#8217;s been more than two centuries since we tossed aside the ham-fisted rule of the British monarchy. Our nation&#8217;s founders established a secular government devoid of any reference to a specific religion. Yet many of our founders&#8217; descendants contend this is a &#8220;Christian nation&#8221; founded on the principles espoused in the New Testament. The founders were men of faith but they kept their faith to themselves and purposely established that there &#8220;shall be no law&#8221; establishing a state religion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>I love the flag. I salute Old Glory whenever possible. I am going to fly it in front of my home tomorrow. Let us remember, though, that the flag is a symbol of freedom and liberty. It isn&#8217;t a sacred piece of merchandise. Its sacred qualities lie in the liberty it represents.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>So, when the president of the USA decides to hug and kiss Old Glory &#8212; which the current guy did a few years ago &#8212; he only furthers the perversion of the movement that follows his every lying word.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Happy birthday, America. Many of us still love you.<\/p>\r\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to a new age that I will call the Age of Political Perversion, where perverts hijack the tenets of our democratic republic for their own nefarious aims.
