Episode 3360: TIME OUT, TERRORISTS - AMERICA IS DESTROYING ITSELF!

Growing divisiveness in this country has never been as shockingly displayed 

as on this past July 4th weekend, when individuals and institutions - from NPR 

to NYT to PBS to National Geographic to a Congresswoman - trashed American 

symbols and America, itself! This was very demoralizing, depressing and 

distressing to the majority of Americans and to the troops watching and 

listening to the weekend festivities celebrating America’s Birthday. But, even 

worse is what it says about the boundless attack on traditional values. 

This year, National Public Radio’s annual reading of the Declaration of 

Independence came with a warning about its “flaws and hypocrisies” including 

its assertion that “all men are created equal.” The New York Times published 

an article entitled,“A Fourth of July Symbol of Unity That May No Longer Unite,” 

referring to the American flag. Published the day before July 4th, it 

not-so-subtly tried to dissuade readers from displaying the flag, while 

pretending to be simply a straightforward story. 

The Public Broadcasting Service, for their July 4th special, diminished the 

Star Spangled Banner, as if it wasn’t the only National Anthem by adding a 

‘Black National Anthem’ at the end of the broadcast. National Geographic 

tweeted about an unscientific study that purported to claim that July 4th 

fireworks are racist. And finally, a black Congresswoman takes the cake by 

saying she simply won’t celebrate Independence Day at all! Dr. Carole 

ends the show on a fitting note with some lyrics from Aaron Lewis’ new 

song, “Am I The Only One,” which describes his despair and hope for 

America to be saved.
