Creator and historian Douglas MacKinnon joined Rachel Campos-Duffy on FOX and Associates Weekend on Saturday to debate the present disaster going through our nation.
MacKinnon penned “The 56” on the 56 who risked all to signal the Declaration of Independence.
Within the ebook, MacKinnon honors these 56 males and the story behind the 4th of July.
Douglas MacKinnon wrote this on why he authored this ebook:
Whereas doing analysis for a column meant to remind the American individuals of that date’s crucial significance, he got here throughout instance after instance of these from the Left and the Far-Left––be they in the mainstream media, activists, or anarchists––calling for not solely the “canceling” of the 4th of July, however the continued smearing, censorship, and canceling of our Founding Fathers.
One overriding thought then crammed his thoughts:
“What if they are successful?”
Those that imagine such totalitarian censorship may by no means come to be in the United States of America, want solely evaluation how shortly and brutally many on the Left have been in a position to create the “Woke Cancel Culture” to silence these they oppose in the present day.
Now they arrive for Thomas Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee, Benjamin Franklin and others who courageously signed The Declaration of Independence.
That doc and people males created our historical past. Historical past which ought to by no means be bent, twisted, censored, or banned to suit any ideological narrative. Whether it is good, allow us to reward it. Whether it is unhealthy, allow us to condemn it and study from it. However allow us to by no means twist, censor, or cancel it.
In accordance with Douglas MacKinnon, the historical past of this nice nation is now not taught in faculties in the present day.
This morning, MacKinnon warned Campos-Duffy and the FOX Information viewers that tyranny in the present day is worse than it was again in 1776.
Douglas MacKinnon: Final July third I wasn’t even interested by penning this ebook. Then on the 4th of July of final 12 months I did a bit little bit of a video tour of a few of the extra liberal websites out that and on web site after web site I noticed friends on the left name not just for the cancellation of the 4th of July however the cancellation of our Founding Fathers and the American flag. And at that time I made a decision and referred to as my writer and mentioned, “If we don’t put out a book, if we don’t defend these men and we don’t defend that time, if we don’t defend the genius of that time and the Founding Fathers we are going to lose our chance to do so.”…
… American kids don’t study that these are the heroes that created the best nation on the face of the earth.
Douglas MacKinnon added,
“As unhealthy because the tyranny was on in 1776 in some ways it’s worse now in 2022 befause the far left sadly has taken management over the 5 main megaphones of our nation. That means the media, leisure, academia, and of late science and drugs. What these 56 males would inform us, except and till they imprison us, except and till they take our lives, we have now our voices. They can’t silence us. We’ve got to talk to the greatness of our nation.
