We are a loving nation, open armed and
understanding. But, as the inflow of foreigners entering our country
threatens to accelerate and as our schools become less American, the teaching
of American History is hitting new lows. With the loss of our history is
the loss of national identity. With this unchecked inflow, and the lack of
teaching of our history, we decline. Yet we allow it.
There
is a fictional bird called the Thorn Bird.
“A mythical bird that
searches for thorn trees from the day it is hatched. When it finds the perfect
thorn, it impales itself, and sings the most beautiful song ever heard as it
dies.”
I ask the question, are we, as a nation,
casting ourselves on a thorn? Are we so enthralled with the notion that
we are a sanctuary for the downtrodden and refugees that we will risk our very
existence to extend the courtesy? And, in so doing, do we commit to our
own demise? We seem to be casting ourselves upon a thorn as we sing our
song of sanctuary and acceptance.
