It has always irritated me when the left says they will take America “back”. Back? They never, ever had it. What they want is to take America to hell.

I come from a pretty moonbatty family and I can tell you first hand that most lefties think don’t care for outward signs of patriotism such as flying the flag, pledging allegiance or getting choked up during the National Anthem.

To the Left, the most patriotic thing an American can do is to work towards changing America into something which it has never been before.

Working to create a new and different America is their idea of patriotism, because the America that they love exists only in an imagined future, and not in our history.

And it is a future that will never come to pass if I have a damn thing to say about it.

I have been wanting to start a library for my grandchildren comprised of books that celebrate America, give a true recounting of this country’s beginnings and serve to instill pride in our heritage. Lord knows they will never learn anything but revisionist lies from their teachers.

More so, I want them to become acutely aware of how fragile, and increasingly rare, the freedoms we have are. I grew up never imagining that a people could exist who would despise freedom, indeed, who fear it. They are a people who are so given over to their rapacious appetites and so bowed low under the weight of their collective cowardice that they have no compunction facilitating the end of America. I never imagined that fellow so-called Americans would be the enemies that my grandchildren would face. And the _amerikkans who call themselves “Progressives” are those of whom I speak.

Kimberly Jo Simac has my admiration. A mother of nine, Simac has set about countering the educational system’s mis-information by writing American Soldier Proud And Free for children. It will definitely go in my library.

American Soldier Proud and Free is the newest book from children’s author Kimberly Jo Simac, a mother of nine who values the importance of teaching young people patriotism.

“I have spent my entire adult life raising nine children, and I see without a doubt that patriotism – respect for our flag, our leaders and those who serve in the military – is being totally left out of our children’s educational agenda,” Simac said. “I really felt that something had to be done to address these deficiencies.”

As a response, Simac wrote , colorfully illustrated by Donna Goeddaeus. While working on this book, Simac also realized that there are no patriotic soldier books for little children.

“We have books about everything imaginable, but nothing to teach and remind our youth that we should be proud to be Americans and honor those who have fought so we can live free,” she added.

Simac attempts to fill these voids with her new book, which is a simple story about a young boy who has a special appreciation for American soldiers. The book was recently added to the Dr. Laura Schlessinger Book List.

Since being added to the book list, a donation appeal was launched to raise money to provide veterans with Simac’s book. Over $2,000 in donations was raised during the first weekend, and now copies of the book are being given to soldiers, schools and libraries.
“It is an exciting story as people who read the book are willing to donate their own money to spread the simple message that it carries,” Simac said.

A reader (thank you) turned me on to this clip hosted over at Michelle Malkin. In 1976 I was a useless hippie, roaming the country. Not political, I paid little heed to the destruction my generation was inflicting. I was too busy “finding myself” . Gag me.

I certainly wish that men like Rick Monday had prevailed in the following decades. Instead, the leftest vermin invading this baseball field seems to have had the most impact. Shame on them, shame on me.

Over 40,000 baseball fans saw Monday risk his career by grabbing what could easily have been a fireball to rescue the American flag from a couple of asshats, and suddenly it recalled the real patriotism and passion for America that had been missing in 1976. At first in isolated pockets but soon sweeping around the stands like The Wave would later do, Americans stood up and sang “God Bless America” — not prompted by the stadium organist but fueled by love of country.

For my money, it’s the single best moment in sports. God bless Rick Monday, and God bless America.
