Happy Fourth of July, America! Never forget what Thomas Jefferson called “the Spirit of 1776” – a sentiment rooted in the abiding belief that all men are created equal and desire freedom. Reagan invoked that same spirit in his famous speech “A Time for Choosing” when he urged us not to “abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capitol can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.”
Today and every day, let’s remember the “Spirit of 1776” and celebrate Independence, not government!
May that love of liberty burn in our hearts and renew our commitment to restore and preserve all that is good and strong and true about America.
- Sarah Palin
“On Independence Day we should remember the spirit of rebellion against tyranny that inspired our Founding Fathers to set out our experiment in liberty. We should ourselves celebrate and continue that struggle if we are to keep our republic.” - Ron Paul
A. I do not see how a military force can be applied for that purpose.
Q. Why may it not?
A. Suppose a military force sent into America; they will find nobody in arms; what are they then to do? They cannot force a man to take stamps who chooses to do without them. They will not find a rebellion; they may indeed make one.
-Benjamin Franklin and the Stamp Act Crisis
One of my favorite arguments by Franklin. I loved the part where he informed the house of commons that the Colonists would rather make their own clothes than wear British made clothing.
Happy Independence Day. The tree is very, very thirsty.
I ask, what will it take? We are being invaded from the South, Hundreds of Thousands of New Democrat Voters.

There is a Reason Jefferson and Hamilton didn't make D.C. a state >:(
If we are just going to hand out Citizenship, lets start with American Samoa, they have been part of the U.S.A. for over 100 years and they are still just Nationals.
Let start with our own people for crying out loud!
Happy Fourth or as my mom used to say, Happy Firecracker.
Happy 4th to your family, Sarah!!!
When my kids were little, we watched all or part of ‘1776’ EVERY 4th of July. Of course, 12 years of Socialized Skoolin’ did it’s damage, but I did the best I could under the circumstances.
None of them ended up in jail at least, LOL!
The entire soundtrack to ‘1776’

“I say, Vote Yes! Vote Yes! Vote for Independency!”
