The recent protests in New York City have revealed the true intentions of the progressive left. While they have previously claimed to be advocating for Palestinian rights, their actions tell a different story. A group gathered at the annual Met Gala and proceeded to burn the American flag at the 107th Infantry Memorial in Central Park, a site that honors fallen soldiers from a war over a century ago. This disturbing display conveyed a clear message – the protest was an attack on the United States itself, its history, and its ideals.

Although the act of burning the flag is not illegal, it is important to recognize the significance of the American flag as a symbol of the nation’s founding principles of equality and freedom. The United States, despite its imperfections, has provided opportunities for millions of people seeking a better life. In the past, even those with more liberal beliefs understood and appreciated the greatness of the country, as evidenced by a comedy set performed by the late Robin Williams in 1982.
The freedom to express dissent is a fundamental right in the United States, but the recent protests and the actions of the Democratic Party and their allies raise concerns about undermining the principles of government by the people and for the people. The coming election will be crucial in determining the direction of the country, and it is vital for Americans to recognize the true nature of the current protests and take action to preserve the values that have made the nation great.
