Sorry but your claim of Trump wanting to keep the world away from America is not accurate nor born out factually.

Heisting our laws be followed in immigration and trade is neither protectionist nor is it isolationism.

The FOURTH be with you!

But it wasn't force that made America great. It was freedom.

Nope.

It was both.

You cannot have freedom without the force to protect it.

The U.S. protects an ordered liberty, not unlimited freedom to do anything you want.

The whole point of the U.S. Constitution is the need for a *limited* government.

There is still a need for government.

Granted, we have about 5X as much government as we need.

Important note about Independence Day.

According to the US Flag Code,

THE FLAG CODE
Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10
As amended by P.L. 344, 94th Congress
Approved July 7, 1976

§ 176. Respect for flag: No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

This being said, since some agitators and radicals believe that displaying the flag upside down to shows their disrespect for this symbol of our nation, they need to learn the truth.

911 Operator: “What is the nature of your emergency?”

"....some Americans will push for socialism — and others will demand Trump throw out all immigrants."

John, John, John... I don't believe I have seen or heard of anyone demanding the President throw out all immigrants. Illegal immigrants, sure. But not "all" immigrants.

Disappointing from Stoessel. The US was born from strife and war. General George Washington and his troops won our freedoms and nationhood. Our national anthem comes from the War of 1812. Our military is part of our heritage and the Fourth of July.

Another attack on Trump. This time from a libertarian. I found the line about some wanting to throw out immigrants especially distasteful. Some divisive bomb throwing.

The Fourth honors the founding of America. It's the anniversary of the day in 1776 that the Declaration of Independence was approved.

Not quite. The DoI received enough signatures to be approved on July 2nd. July 4th is the date it received signatures from all of the colonies.

>>>President Donald Trump talks as if the key to our success is not spreading the idea of liberty but keeping the rest of the world away from the United States<<<

I like John Stossel. I even met and talked to him once, but he must be using LSD to come up with something as stupid as this.
