This month is National Camping Month, National Country Cooking Month, and of course Pride Month. Now Robert P. George issues a new call to Americans to "Fidelity Month." The word fidelity comes from the Latin word which describes a person who is faithful, loyal, and worthy of being trusted by others.
A survey released in March by Wall Street Journal showed that many Americans have abandoned the values that described us in the past, even the recent past. We were united by those values, though we often disagreed on how to implement them.
Now much of our society rejects the values of faith in God, respect for our laws and our country, the inherent value of every human being. You, my reader, are well aware of it.
But many of us (maybe still a majority?) believe in these things. He calls us to be faithful to them - in spite of opposition - with his statement posted on Facebook:
"At the foundation of America’s greatness are the virtues of her people. It is those virtues that sustain the principles and practices of our nation's constitutional order--our "experiment" (as our Founders described it) in republican government and ordered liberty."
