The Fourth of the July, in a galaxy far, far away.
Captain Kirk & the United States Constitution
Glorious, indeed.
Yep...the Sacred Words.
The Yangs vs. the Kohms!
Captain James T. Kirk: Among my people, we carry many such words as this from many lands, many worlds. Many are equally good and are as well respected, but wherever we have gone, no words have said this thing of importance in quite this way. Look at these three words written larger than the rest, with a special pride never written before, or since, tall words proudly saying, “We the People”. That which you call Ee’d Plebnista, was not written for the chiefs of kings, or the warriors or the rich or the powerful, but for ALL the people! Down the centuries, you have slurred the meaning of the words, “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty, to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution”. These words and the words that follow, were not written only for the Yangs, but for the Kohms as well! They must apply to everyone, or they mean nothing!

Excellent! Thank you.
Mr. Spock: Does our involvement here also constitute a violation of the Prime Directive?
Captain James T. Kirk: We merely showed them the... meaning of what they were fighting for. Liberty and freedom have to be more than just words. Gentlemen, the fighting is over here. I suggest we leave them to discover their history - and their liberty.
William Shatner is Canadian. How intereting
The real Star Trek.
Good one.
Would have helped it he’d begun with the Declaration of Independence which is the legal premise, precedent, and foundation of the Constitution.
Eee pleb Neesto
Yes, but Captian Kirk is pure, Ref, White and Blue.

Nothing like a good ass-Kirking on the 4th of July!
I posted it on Mamdanis Twitter. Maybe him and his followers will learn something

Very interesting episode.
I’ll never forget that episode.
There was a TV series called, “Twelve O’clock High”, and their music was later used for Star Trek. And guess who had a guest appearance as a B17 bomber pilot? A young William Shatner.
“That is Yang worship word! You shall not speak it!”

A Canadian actor portraying a character from a post-nationalist future, getting choked up over the American Idea. But I liked it.
