American Creed

The keynote speaker is Lieutenant General Michael Flynn, who is a former Director of Defense Intelligence.

and General Arbuckle and Major General Joe, General Arbuckle and Ron Scott will be presenting their American Creed, which focuses on foundational values that formed America.

So they'll be speaking as well, as well as Colonel Rob Maness, who has his own radio show program.

So it's quite an event.

Now, before that, we've got a bunch of other really, really talented people that are shown on our website.

And also, our STARS CEO and president, retired Colonel and I will be presenting our very popular briefing now, which we title The American Creed Under Assault.

And what we're talking about there, of course, is our fundamental roots, our constitutional roots.

Being under assault, coming from the radical left in the form of socialism and Marxism, and we talk about the history and what can be done about it.

I mean, even before the U.S. entered the war, it issued the Atlantic Charter along with Britain, affirming the freedom of all people to choose their own government and declaring that the defeat of Nazi Germany would help to bring about a world of, quote, improved labor standards, economic advancement, and social security.

At home and abroad, World War II became a war that was about freedom, but was also about what Gunnar Myrdal called the American Creed, a belief in equality, justice, equal opportunity, and freedom.

I want to be clear that we have done a terrible job of living up to the American Creed, but the story of American history is in many ways the story of ideas pulling policy.

not the other way around.

American history is an economic and political and social history, but it is also a story about the power of ideas, and World War II helped clarify those ideas for America and for the world.
