As I like to say, self-government requires self-involvement.
No matter what the scumbag leftists who are the Democrat party say about those founding fathers we are about to find out how devastating their solutions are to ‘fixing’ it. The United States did more good for the world than any other.
"...nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers press upon them so fast, that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon the American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour. The revenue creates pensioners, and the pensioners urge for more revenue. The people grow less steady, spirited, and virtuous, the seekers more numerous and more corrupt, and every day increases the circles of their dependents and expectants, until virtue, integrity, public spirit, simplicity, and frugality, become the objects of ridicule and scorn, and vanity, luxury, foppery, selfishness, meanness, and downright venality swallow up the whole society." - John AdamsBut, then, we need to remind ourselves, with Lloyd Marcus, that "We Are Americans," and, as such we are free to choose new leaders who are not bound to the "deceivers, betrayers, and destroyers" who have led us to the present "encroachment on the American constitution."
Celebrating the founding of this country on the 4th of July is about the same as people truly celebrating Christ’s birth on December 25th.
(a side-note, Thomas Sowell would be a great VP pick)
Thanks for posting some Thomas Sowell, he’s an inspirational American and beacon of sanity that I’ve enjoyed reading for about 20 years now.
I love that man. He is getting up in age and I hope he is doing well.
An American Treasure.
Too bad the left won’t even read his work, let alone consider his thoughts.
“Today, too many Americans take freedom for granted, as just another entitlement, something that does not require them to take any personal responsibility.”
BUMPITY-BUMP-BUMP-BUMP!
