Mr. Satullo recently wrote a piece asking American’s not to celebrate our great accomplishments as a country this July 4th, but instead to hang our heads in shame for our perceived failures:
What, no “chicken have come home to roost?” Mr. Satullo and I see a much different United States of America, but Mr. Satullo would attribute that to you and I “being to dim to grasp it.” The 1st Amendment provides Satullo the right to say what he said, but how dare he use the pulpit of a free press to insult and mischaracterize the very heart of our country, its people.
I could talk to each point Satullo tried to make, but why bother. Satullo, and those that think like him, stopped listening to reason years ago. They believe that their dissent falsely identifies them as patriots. To dissent is not unpatriotic, but when your dissent reeks of bias and lacks integrity, then you are guilty of abandoning the principals the Founding Fathers were striving for during that Summer of 1776.
It seems so easy for Mr. Satullo to sum up all that we have been through as a country through his negative prism, and then call us cowards from the safety of an air condition office. There was nothing noble in Mr. Satullo’s words; they do however represent the hearts and minds of those who look upon America and its citizens with contempt and an unjustified malice.
Mr. Satullo does not speak for America, or the Founding Fathers, but he is a voice that represents a false vision of what America is, and what Americans stand for. Mr. Satullo has spend too much time writing opinion pieces, not for the cause of freedom, but for a weekly paycheck, and I am afraid he has lost touch with everyday America.
