Matt Walsh put the question plainly: America was founded by Christians of European descent, and that origin still shapes our laws, culture, and civic life. He doubled down on that point after a sparring match on social media, reminding Americans that identity and history matter when we ask what this nation is and who it belongs to. His bluntness is the kind of honest talk Americans are tired of not hearing from the mainstream media and political class.
Predictably, the left and its academic allies rushed to lecture, insisting that acknowledging our Christian and Western roots somehow erases everyone else’s place in America. Historians quoted by mainstream outlets push back, arguing the founders’ intent is complicated and that calling the United States a “Christian nation” is a political claim as much as a historical one. That debate only proves Walsh’s point: when you challenge the prevailing cultural story, the establishment responds with sanctimony instead of answers.
But let’s not pretend the truth is dangerous. Most of the architects of our republic were Christians from Western Europe, and those beliefs influenced the morality and institutions that made liberty possible. Polls and reporting show a large share of Americans already see the founders through that lens, so this isn’t an extremist fringe—this is a commonsense observation that the left wants to sanitize. America’s identity is rooted in a tradition that respected God, family, and ordered liberty, and acknowledging that doesn’t mean excluding anyone from the promise of the nation.
This isn’t merely an argument about textbooks; it’s about policy and the future. If we erase the cultural and religious foundations that built stable societies, we will continue to see the collapse of family structures, the surrender of public institutions to secular radicalism, and a federal government that spends billions on ideological projects abroad while our own towns crumble. Conservatives who love this country should take Walsh’s provocation as a call to defend institutions—churches, schools, and families—that actually sustain civilization.
The reaction to Walsh reveals a deeper truth: the cultural left prefers slogans and moral relativism to clear definitions and civic confidence. When asked to define what America is, too many on the left retreat to “not that” — anti-Christian, anti-traditional, and increasingly anti-American in practice. That’s why voices like Walsh’s matter; they force the question back into public view and demand an answer that honors our past while fighting for a future where faith and freedom can flourish.
Hardworking Americans should take heart that this fight is being waged in the open. We were raised to believe in a higher law, in responsibilities to family and neighbor, and in a national story worth defending. If you love this country, now is the time to speak up for the truth about our origins, to support leaders who cherish our Christian and Western inheritance, and to refuse the left’s campaign to hollow out what made America great.
