WASHINGTON (AP) - Calling the Declaration of Independence more than words on an aging parchment, President Barack Obama marked the Fourth of July on Sunday by urging Americans to live the principles that founded the nation as well as celebrate them.
"This is the day when we celebrate the very essence of America and the spirit that has defined us as a people and as a nation for more than two centuries," Obama told guests at a South Lawn barbecue honoring service members and their families.

And homos have rights, too....and have infected millions with a deadly disease...
And don't say God in a Public school...
The pendulum has swung so far away from the "good" of the intentions of our forefathers....May God help us!!

1) The Founding Fathers were men of property and wealth. You know, evil white guys, keeping a brother down.
2) Lincoln was a right-on dude. Independence day is about strong centralized government, the use of force to silence dissent, and the bowing of citizens and states to the all-powerful will of government bureaucrats.

Leave it to Obama to make Independence Day all about identity politics. He disgusts me. I bet you Michelle wouldn't let him have a hot dog on 4th of July.

we are reminded that our Declaration, our example, made us a beacon to the world. Gosh, John Winthrop had that figured out 150 years before that.

After reading the biographies of the signers it becomes apparent more than didn’t, lost their personal wealth, families and health even though we won.

If it’s worth saying once it’s worth saying a million times. Now if Obama actually meant it, that would be another story.

Ya know, there really needs to be a way to distinguish a remark to the author of (or the person quoted in) the head article from a remark to the freeper who posted it, who are often at polar opposites. You mean this of course for Obama, not libh8er who is just the bearer of the bad news.
