I believe it should be read and re-examined every July 4th.

I wonder if the masses here even know why the Founding Fathers felt it necessary to take this action. My guess is that we've been so dumbed down, most of us don't even know what freedom and liberty even mean, nor do we even care to understand that the freedom and liberty sought by the founding fathers was from the kind of tyranny the current government is busy establishing for us right now.

Dude, the tyranny the founders sought to escape was orders of magnitude milder than what the imperial federal government has already in place right now.

But, hey, fly the flag and say you’re free and don’t forget to pay your taxes and do as you’re told by Mommy Government so you can be a good person

That’s why I posted it. People take this for granted. If you think about it, the colonist were fight the British Military.

I have a document, that one of my greats was an Officer in the British Army under Cornwallis. He specifically ask to be sent back to England, that he would not kill his own brethern. Now that took guts. I don’t think you see that kind of bravery anymore, in terms of standing up for your moral convictions.
