Defund NPR’ Trends After Outlet Tweets Disclaimer on Declaration of Independence

I have been taking the position that the taxpayers should not be funding the Democratic propaganda site, National Public Radio. If they need funding it should come from the DNC. Everything on NPR is leftist propaganda and therefore should not be funded by the public. But, they finally went too far when they tried to tear down the Declaration of Independence. Now #DefundNPR is trending across social media.

Conservatives roasted NPR over the disclaimer they made before reading the document.

The disclaimer:

Declaration, one of America’s prized founding documents, is filled with “flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies.”

“245 years ago today, leaders representing 13 British colonies signed a document to declare independence. It says ‘that all men are created equal’ — but women, enslaved people, Indigenous people and many others were not held as equal at the time. The document also includes a racist slur against Indigenous Americans.”

 “In this thread of the Declaration of Independence, you can see a document with flaws and deeply ingrained hypocrisies. It also laid the foundation for this country’s collective aspirations — the hopes for what America could be.”

NPR then read the disclaimer aloud before the reading. That incensedthose of us that love our country. Make no mistake about it, this is war. The Democrats are trying to destroy our faith in this country . First,it was the Pledge of Allegience in schools and now you have CRT and the 1619 Project. The 1619 Project makes the claim that this country was built on the backs of slaves.

It is very true that slaves were very importantfor the plantations in the South and in the production of cotton and tobacco. But as far as the factories, the South had very few which helped them lose the war. In the North, they brought indentured servants. The companies would pay for the passage to this country and those people would work for the country until that debt was paid off. Slavery was not popular in the North.

From The Blaze

In response to the disclaimer, several critics — discontented by the outlet’s decision to criticize America on a day set aside for its celebration — called on government officials to “defund NPR.”

Florida Republican congressional candidate Lavern Spicer quipped, “Today is a great day for America to declare its independence from NPR which is currently attacking our Constitution.”

“Why in the hell are American taxpayers funding this nonsense? #DefundNPR,” California Republican congressional candidate Buzz Patterson added.
