What Do Americans Gain From Hating America?

When I see things like this, I have to wonder. What do Americans gain from hating America? I see no benefit. Watch the video below and pay close attention to the mother’s reaction. It is proof that citizen hatred for our country is taught and nurtured. No one is born with it. (And do you notice how people who purport to hate America so much, never leave it?)

The wretched behavior displayed in the above tweet, brings to mind a speech by ex-slave and abolitionist – Frederick Douglass that is typically quoted on Independence Day. It is used as a bludgeon by the left to prove how evil America was and (in their view) remains.

The historic speech was given on July 5, 1852 to the Rochester Ladies’ Anti-Slavery society. It was titled, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” In it, Douglass chastises the founding fathers for not resolving the question of slavery when they created the nation.

Fellow-citizens; above your national, tumultuous joy, I hear the mournful wail of millions! whose chains, heavy and grievous yesterday, are, to-day, rendered more intolerable by the jubilee shouts that reach them. If I do forget, if I do not faithfully remember those bleeding children of sorrow this day, ‘May my right hand forget her cunning, and may my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth!’ To forget them, to pass lightly over their wrongs, and to chime in with the popular theme, would be treason most scandalous and shocking, and would make me a reproach before God and the world. My subject, then fellow-citizens, is AMERICAN SLAVERY. I shall see, this day, and its popular characteristics, from the slave’s point of view. Standing, there, identified with the American bondman, making his wrongs mine, I do not hesitate to declare, with all my soul, that the character and conduct of this nation never looked blacker to me than on this 4th of July!

When you see that quote, one would assume that this is one man speaking truth to power by condemning the country which had once made him a slave. But this is where context is important.

1. The speech was given in 1852, before the Civil War when slavery still existed. Thanks to people like Frederick Douglas speaking out against slavery, the practice met its conclusion.
2. Frederick Douglas was not anti-American. He was anti-slavery. As proof that he was not anti-American, please consider how he concluded the “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” speech. I quote…

Allow me to say, in conclusion, notwithstanding the dark picture I have this day presented of the state of the nation, I do not despair of this country. There are forces in operation, which must inevitably work the downfall of slavery. ‘The arm of the Lord is not shortened,’ and the doom of slavery is certain. I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from the Declaration of Independence, the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age.

For further study, click here to read the speech in its entirety. Again, context is key. Please remember this the next time someone like Time Magazine, The Washington Post or Colin Kaepernick try to use Frederick Douglass’ quote as a reason to convince you to hate America.

New Conservative Network Seeks Crowdfunding Help

They say we have to go big or go home. We’re trying to go big and bring the patriotic truth the the nation, but we need help.

Readers may or may not realize that over the past year, we’ve been bringing more conservative news and opinion outlets under our wing. Don’t take our expansion as a sign of riches; all of the “acquisitions” have been through sweat and promises of greater things to come for all involved. As a result, we’ve been able to bring together several independent media sites under a unified vision of preventing America from succumbing to the progressive, “woke,” Neo-Marxist ideologies that are spreading like wildfire across America.

The slow and steady reopening of America is revealing there was a lot more economic hardship brought about from the Covd-19 lockdowns than most realize. While we continue to hope advertising dollars on the sites go up, it’s simply not enough to do things the right way. We are currently experiencing a gap between revenue and expenses that cannot be overcome by click-ads and MyPillow promos alone (promo code “NOQ” by the way).

To overcome our revenue gap and keep these sites running, our needs fluctuate between $3000-$7000 per month. In other words, we’re in the red and hemorrhaging.

The best way you can help us grow and continue to bring the truth to the people is by donating. We appreciate everything, whether a dollar or $10,000. Anything brings us closer to a point of stability when we can hire writers, editors, and support staff to make the America First message louder. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.

As the world spirals towards radical progressivism, the need for truthful journalism has never been greater. But in these times, we need as many conservative media voices as possible. Please help keep NOQ Report and the other sites in the network going.

Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
