On the media tour for his book reflecting upon his nearly half century in journalism, Cal Thomas lamented the notion of partisan or ideological division.
As an example of the ideal that the nation ought to aspire to, the pundit referenced how his father and the father of Cal’s media colleague the late Bob Beckel both served in World War II where the fight was not against President Roosevelt but to defend American ideals.
But such a sentiment ignores the reality that a good number of the philosophies out to destroy the nation are no longer directed against the United States from abroad.
These pernicious worldviews are being aimed at us from the highest levels of our own cultural institutions.
So just how many more of our fundamental principles and freedoms does Thomas want abandoned in order to maintain the fiction that everyone believes basically the same thing?
