WE ARE LOSING OUR NATIONAL IDENTITY. PATRIOTISM IS BEING REPLACED BY PARTISANSHIP. HISTORY IS BEING REPLACED BY POLITICS. UNITY IS LOST. PROBLEMS ARE NOT SOLVED THIS WAY -- THEY ARE INCREASED.

Very sad. Americans seem to be shifting our focus away from the common history that unites us. Iconoclasm, tearing down the public symbols of our past, goes dangerously further by wiping out the past. Taking it's place is multiculturalism and Partisan loyalties. These movements divide us. Identity politics accentuates our divisions and ranks us by them.
Ironically, we spend more money than any other nation to defend ourselves from external threats when the greatest threat to our nation is internal. We've ignored the wisdom and warning of our Founding Father General George Washington about Partisanship.
A perfect example of this is President Trump's Historic State visit to mark the Anniversary of D-Day, one of the most important moments in history for the world, not just the USA and England. The President is there to strengthen our relationship with the United Kingdom which has more invested in the USA than any other country. His mission is both Historic and economically important -- history in the making. Yet all the Left Media does is target him to bash him. Their focus is on Partisan differences for political gains. Party over Nation. The news media could and should be using these currents events about past events as an historical teaching moment.
History is being lost in our schools and in our media culture. It's no wonder there is this story about the difficulties at America's Historic sites. Very sad indeed. Frightening too.
