It's a Civil War: What We Do Now

By Dennis Prager

"A terrible thing happened to America on Sunday, March 21, 2010.

The country took its biggest step ever down a road diametrically opposed to its original intent of keeping the state small so that the individual can be free and great.

Therefore, in this unprecedented crisis of values, this is what needs to be done:

1. Know and teach America's core values.

We got to this point solely because over the past few generations, Americans have forgotten the values that have made America distinctive and great. Even the "Greatest Generation" failed to communicate them.

In a nutshell, they are what I call the American Trinity: "In G0d we trust," "Liberty" and "E Pluribus Unum." The left has successfully made war on all three — substituting secularism for G0d and religion in as much of American life as possible; substituting equality (of result) for liberty; and multiculturalism is the opposite of "E Pluribus Unum."

People who do not understand American ideals — especially small government — now dominate our schools, our entertainment media and our news media.

(My own contribution here is a video titled, "The American Trinity" at www.prageru.com. Please view it and forward it.)

2. Recognize that we are fighting the left, not liberals."
