From the Mailbag; “I’m Proud to be an American”

Dear Pastor,

“I believe in & love America.”

Bret L. McAtee responds,

Dear America lover,

You believe and love a myth. Americans, notable exceptions notwithstanding, are a stupid people. They are sheep who know more about the box score of the recent big basketball game than they know about the gazillion dollar deficit problem. They know more about their movie stars than they know how Hollywood is corrupting their thinking and morals. They care more about Israel than they do their own country. They don’t realize that all the big media is owned by a handful of people who are feeding them propaganda day and night. They would rather be mesmerized by a talking head than put the effort in to pick up a book that gives background, detail, and which exposes the propaganda. They support a University system by sending their children to institutions that are committed to indoctrinating those children into an anti-reality Marxist worldview. AND those parents get the privilege of paying for their children to be indoctrinated into Cultural Marxism. They trust in shrinks who by in large are themselves, psychopaths. They send their little children to schools that are staffed by teachers trained in these very same University Institutions with the purpose of training the little ones to be as brain-dead as the teachers are. They can tell you all about Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift but they know nothing about Michael Polyani, John Owen, or John Taylor Gatto. They consume SSR’s in epic amounts not knowing the long-range damage figuring that long-range damage doesn’t matter as long as they are “happy.” Then they turn around and feed their children Ritalin to make Johnny and Suzie happy not knowing they are killing their own children. They insist that their children are vaccinated not knowing what poison is in the vaccines. They get the flu shot every year not knowing or caring what’s in the flu shot. Whatever history they know they get from the all-wise “The History Channel.” The clergy they listen to on Sunday may be even more stupid than they are. A feat that is by no means simply arrived at. We are indeed a people who, in the words of Neil Postman, are Amusing Ourselves to Death.

But not to worry. As long as Americans can have all the sex they want with whoever or whatever they want, they will go to their graves as stupid people happy to be stupid.

Praise God for the remnant who are red-pilled and so are despised at every turn. They are the America you should love.

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.
