What Debra Messing Doesn’t Understand About Patriotism



There are two kinds of leftists in this world.  The first type are the elites, master manipulators on a calculated mission to usurp your power by whatever means possible.  These are your Obamas, Clintons, Soros’ and Alinskys.  The second type are the foolish lemmings who follow the lead of the master manipulators with mindless fervor and drooling devotion, seemingly oblivious to common sense and incapable of adult-level thinking.  Debra Messing is one of the latter. 

According to a  recent article in Fox News:

“Messing took to Instagram last Wednesday to show emotional support for her son after he asked for permission to protest the national anthem for the New York Rangers game at Madison Square Garden.  The post reads:

’Please stand for the Star Spangled Banner.’

Son: ‘Mom, I want to sit down in protest. Can we do that?’

Me: ‘Yes, honey. We can do that.’

“Who’s crying?” she wrote. “I’m not crying. #BLM (Black Lives Matter)”

What a proud moment, eh?  As we’ve demonstrated here again and again, leftists are children, mentally speaking, so no one should be surprised that a child such as Messing wouldn’t comprehend the importance of patriotism to this nation, or that she is too selfish to forego a brief moment of adulation from her equally ignorant followers on Instagram to instill in her son a love of country that is in the long term best interests of both he and his fellow citizens.  Therefore, in the spirit of one of the Left’s favorite themes – “It takes a village to raise a child” – I would like to step in and assist Messing’s neglected son (Roman) by educating him on the facts of life with respect to patriotism:

Dear Roman,

First, please accept my condolences on your misfortune of having such a self-absorbed, mindless idiot for a mother, and always remember that there is no law which says you have to become a mindless idiot too.  Now let’s talk about patriotism.

Did you know that the word “patriot” is defined by Webster’s dictionary as, “One who loves his country and zealously supports its authority and interests?”  I’m guessing you didn’t.  Our schools don’t teach patriotism any more, and if your mother bothered to tell you anything about patriotism, she probably lied (sorry, that’s what leftists do) and told you it means something like, “Having the courage to be critical of your country.”  This is a definition made up by leftists like your mom so that they can still claim to be patriots even when they are disrespecting everything this nation stands for.   So now that you finally know the truth about how patriotism is defined, let’s talk about why it’s important.

The country you know as “America” – the country where you safely live, play, eat, attend baseball games and will someday work and raise a family of your own (and where your mother is free to act like an idiot)  – was founded on the concept of freedom, autonomy and democracy, and the strong defense of these values.  We are defined by a Constitution, from which we cannot separate ourselves without becoming something else.   This is what is meant by “country” in Webster’s definition of patriotism.  This is what our flag stands for.   A country without patriotism soon ceases to be a country, which may be the reason why the Left’s elites are always trying to undermine America’s patriotism.  I’m just sayin’….

Here’s a question for you, Roman:  Did you get angry when I called your mother a mindless idiot?  Did you instinctively want to defend her against my attack?

Hopefully you did, because that would mean you feel a natural sense of loyalty to your mother, a person who takes care of you.  Unless something has gone terribly wrong, family members are instinctively driven to protect each other, because this is what keeps the family intact so that you and your mom can help each other in life, she helping you while you’re young and you helping her as she grows old.  Keeping a country intact requires that same type of loyalty, except we call it “patriotism.”  Even though Americans across the nation are mostly strangers, we are tied together by our bond as Americans, and we must nurture and protect the common interests we share as Americans, otherwise everyone will suffer, including future generations like yours that we all have a duty to protect.  If and when other countries wage war or act with hostility against us, they don’t single out individuals.  They target us as one nation, which means we must stand united together as one nation and defend each other.  This is what patriotism is about, and as you can see that’s not a bad thing.

The second thing you need to understand is that the athletes and other Americans who show disrespect to the American flag and our national anthem to protest what they claim is systematic racism are……um, how shall I put this…..full of crap.  Google crime statistics in America, especially in the big cities where we see the most accusations of police brutality, and you’ll see that blacks get the lion’s share of attention from the police because they commit the lion’s share of the crime.  This is what people in the real world use to call “common sense” long before you were born.  It’s true that there are sometimes police who make mistakes or who do bad things.  But at the age of 13 you should have learned by now that we don’t condemn an entire group for the actions of a few, which is why it’s wrong to vilify all police or disrespect a flag that stands for everyone, including you, over isolated incidents of racism.  Groups like Black Lives Matter have no interest in the truth, and therefore can do – and will do – no good for anyone.  All they can do is damage the patriotism that is necessary to unite us as a country.  People like your mother are, sadly, their useful tools.

Now please don’t be a brat.

Sincerely,


CW
