You know, sometimes you just have to shake your head and wonder what in tarnation is going on in the hallowed halls of our government. It often feels like there’s a contest among liberals to see who can trample American traditions and common-sense values the fastest. They chip away here, they “reimagine” there, and before you know it, things our grandparents held sacred are being treated like yesterday’s news, or worse, props for some bizarre modern spectacle.
Case in point: remember when the Librarian of Congress – yes, the person in charge of, you know, books and history – thought it was a grand idea to let a pop star, famous for antics that would make a sailor blush, prance around playing James Madison’s priceless, 200-year-old crystal flute? It wasn’t just a musical performance; it was a deliberate, twerking insult to a Founding Father and the very heritage that flute represents. Well, it seems President Trump has finally decided to turn that particular page.
That’s right, the swamp just got a little bit drier. Carla Hayden, the Obama-appointed Librarian of Congress, has been shown the door. An email from the White House deputy director of presidential personnel, as reported by The Post Millennial, cut right to the chase: “On behalf of President Donald J. Trump, I am writing to inform you that your position as the Librarian of Congress is terminated effective immediately.” Brevity, in this case, is the soul of a much-needed course correction.
Our History Isn’t a Toy for Pop Stars
Let’s not forget the incident that really put Ms. Hayden on the radar of patriotic Americans. As The Post Millennial noted, “Hayden was caught up in controversy when she invited Lizzo to play James Madison’s crystal flute while the singer twerked on stage.” MRC TV put it even more bluntly, describing the scene as a “half-naked obese woman to flail around with on a stage while clad in a spandex unitard that was about four miles of fabric too small.”
This wasn’t just about a flute; it was about respect. This particular instrument, a gift to President Madison in 1813, was heroically saved by Dolley Madison from the White House inferno when the British set Washington ablaze during the War of 1812. To see it treated with such casual disdain under Hayden’s watch was, frankly, a disgrace to its history and to the nation.
Beyond the Flute: A Library Pushing a Leftist Agenda
But the Lizzo flute fiasco, as galling as it was, was apparently just the tip of the iceberg. Conservative watchdog group American Accountability Project (AAP) had been sounding the alarm about Hayden for a while. According to The Post Millennial, they accused her of “pushing left-wing content” and noted she had “denounced parents for wanting to not give content to children regarding sexual identity.” The AAP even tweeted that “Carla Hayden is woke, anti-Trump, and promotes trans-ing kids.”
Add to this her reported substantial donations to Democrats and her 2016 confirmation hearing defense of keeping pornography filters off public library systems – claiming it would restrict access to “health information” – and a clear picture emerges. As Tom Jones, president of AAP, told the Daily Mail (via The Post Millennial) prior to the firing, “It is time they show Carla Hayden…the door and return an America First agenda to the nation’s intellectual property regulation.”
Cue the Outraged Screeching from the Left
Predictably, the moment the news broke, the liberal establishment and their media mouthpieces went into meltdown mode. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries immediately decried the move.
From ‘The Post Millennial’:
“Donald Trump’s unjust decision to fire Dr. Hayden in an email sent by a random political hack is a disgrace and the latest in his ongoing effort to ban books, whitewash American history and turn back the clock,” Jeffries said.
Another Democrat, Rep. Joseph Morelle of New York, wailed that “Hayden has spent her entire career serving people,” as reported by MRC TV. Serving whom, exactly? It certainly didn’t feel like she was serving the interests of parents concerned about radical gender ideology or citizens who believe our historical artifacts deserve reverence, not ridicule.
This kind of outrage is standard procedure when Democrats see one of their own, especially one actively pushing their cultural agenda, removed from a position of influence. It’s the same old song: any attempt to restore traditional values is decried as “banning books” or “whitewashing history.” Nonsense. It’s about restoring sanity.
This firing isn’t just about one person; it’s about sending a message. It’s about ensuring that our taxpayer-funded institutions reflect the values of the American people, not the pet projects of a woke elite.
Key Takeaways:
- Trump fires Obama’s ‘woke’ Librarian for disrespecting American heritage and history.
- Librarian Hayden faced outrage for Lizzo flute stunt and pushing leftist agenda.
- Firing boosts conservative values, signals Trump’s commitment to traditional American principles.
