They Fly Flags of Tyranny,We Pledge Allegiance to Old Glory
There’s a strange thing happening on the streets of our cities. You may have seen it on the news, the protests they call the "No Kings" rallies. They claim they’re standing against tyranny, but a quick look at the crowd tells a very different story.
I’ve watched the clips, and I’ll tell you one thing for sure: those folks don’t look like us. You won’t find many calloused hands or dirt under the fingernails, blue-collar hunters in that crowd. What you will find is a sea of pride flags, costumes, and even the hammer and sickle communist flag. They wave banners tied to movements and places where freedom is not protected; it is restricted.
Does anyone in that crowd truly understand what a king is? Our Founding Fathers did. When they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, they were standing against the most powerful empire in the world. They knew what tyranny was, and they risked everything to break free from it.
The freedom we have to hunt, to speak our minds, to worship as we choose, and to govern ourselves was not handed to us. It was earned through sacrifice. The American Revolution was not symbolic. It was violent, costly, and uncertain. Thousands of American patriots died so that future generations could live free. Men sacrificed their homes, their wealth, and their futures for a principle bigger than themselves.
When you see protestors today who cannot explain who we fought or why we fought, it raises a serious question: what are they being taught?
This points to a broader failure in our educational system. Too many young Americans are leaving school without a basic understanding of history, civics, or the cost of freedom. The result is a generation that is quick to protest but slow to understand. National testing continues to show declining knowledge in U.S. history and civics, and that gap is becoming visible in real time.
There is a contradiction playing out in these rallies. Individuals claim to oppose tyranny while displaying symbols tied to governments and movements that suppress speech, limit freedom, and punish dissent. That contradiction is not just ironic. It is revealing.
At the same time, these protests are not as organic as they appear. Organized efforts and coordinated messaging are shaping much of what we are seeing. That should matter to anyone who values authenticity and transparency in civic engagement.
We believe in a different kind of freedom. The kind that is grounded in responsibility, history, and respect for the principles this country was built on. The kind that recognizes rights come with sacrifice and that those sacrifices should never be forgotten.
This is not about politics. It is about perspective. It is about understanding the difference between symbolic outrage and real liberty.
The men and women who built this country made their choice. They stood for freedom, even when it cost them everything.
We should be just as clear about where we stand.
We stand with the flag that represents that sacrifice.
