First is was GOD!
Man gave away his GOD, for pleasure and self, I the Garden which is in Eden.
Genesis 2:15-17 KJV
And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. [16] And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: [17] But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Genesis 3:1-12 KJV
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? [2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: [3] But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. [4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: [5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil. [6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. [7] And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked, and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. [8] And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden. [9] And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? [10] And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. [11] And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? [12] And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Man has given up so much, Trying to please themselves and others.
Second is Christianity
Man says that you never ever should show yourself to be Thankful and to be a Christian, because if you are, then you're judging others. You are filled with hate, your words are hateful and offensive. Man is trying to destroy GOD In our Country
Man decided we could no longer Pray in our schools.
Man took away our public acknowledging of GOD, no more Ten Commandments were welcome, no more Nativity Scenes were to be on display on Government grounds, because they were offensive. Public Prayer in schools is also offensive.
Third, it is our Flag And National Anthem
Man has decided that The Flag United States Of America is offensive, don't be a Flag waver because you are offending others.
We are not all born under The American Flag, so it is offensive to those that weren't. Man goes so far as to burn it, The Flag is so offensive. Man kneels at our National Anthem because it is offensive. Man says our military men and women are evil and are murders, killers of women and babies.
Fourth is our Country as a whole
Don't be patriotic or proud to be an American, because that is offensive. Our heritage is offensive. Being white is offensive. Man says you cannot be just an American, you have to be something more, like African, Italian or Mexican, even though they were born here in America. If you're not then you're offensive. We Americans are to be ashamed for what our ancestors did. Man believes that Black people need to be paid for crimes against their ancestors. Man believes all white people should be ashamed, for being educated, for being financially well off, just for being white. White people are offensive. Man tears down monuments, burns buildings, loots, kills, and is filled with bitterness and hatred, all because they believe them to be offensive. Man says if you are not liberal, you're offensive, No man should ever be a Republican, because Republicans are filled with hate and are a racist. Man says you believe like them, if you don't then you cannot call yourself an American. Man says guns are the problem, if we don't have guns then killings will stop. Man says the police are the problem, if the police would just not draw their weapon, then all hatred for them would just go away. Man says never be proud to be the sex that you are. Man says we should all be, non-gender, be inclusive of all, if you're not then you're offensive. Man says being transgender, bisexual, and homosexual is normal, you are filled with hate if you don't agree with them. Man says abortion is a choice, if you don't agree then you are evil.

I stand when The National Anthem is played, you guessed it, with my hand over my heart too!!!
Oh, say can you see,
By the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
Thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched
Were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there.
O, say, does that
Star-Spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
And the home of the brave?
YES, YES IT DOES!!!
