“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,,,”

Jefferson’s “rough draft” :
“he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce...”
Thanks so much for posting these. I especially loved the Robin Williams one.

“Michigan seems like a dream to me now
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw
I’ve gone to look for America”
Thanks for posting. Happy Independence Day freedom loving individuals.

I’ve ALWAYS been proud to be an American. I’m trying to determine my earliest ancestors here and so far it is Ensign Thomas Washer who represented Lawne’s Plantation as burgess in the first assembly of the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1619 so my family has been here almost since the beginning. Many patriots in my family of whom I am very amazed of that made my life possible. Thank you Father God and thank you to my ancestors that helped make this country so wonderful.
My family came late, early 1900s, but came legally and with nothing but the will to work hard and I appreciate all they did so I could be born and live here.
I am super thankful to those who God inspired to come here in the beginning and our Nation’s Founders for their mighty efforts to set the Country on roots of God and His Word.
evil will repeatedly try to destroy US, but many many God loving Christians will do their best to keep it going!
All praise and glory to God.
This is also the 200th anniversary of the deaths of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.

Let us Celebrate and pledge to defeat the leftist traitors
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,[note 1] promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness.
America! America!
God mend thine ev’ry flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law.
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life.
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness,
And ev’ry gain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears.
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea.
By the dawn's early light:
3 And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.
"And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good" = 1776
וַיֹּאמֶר אֱלֹהִים, יְהִי אוֹר; וַיְהִי-אוֹר. וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים אֶת-הָאוֹר, כִּי-טוֹב
"And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness." = 1776
וַיַּרְא אֱלֹהִים אֶת-הָאוֹר, כִּי-טוֹב; וַיַּבְדֵּל אֱלֹהִים, בֵּין הָאוֹר וּבֵין הַחֹשֶׁךְ
Ancient question:
If the Sun Is Created on Day 4, What Is the Light on Day 1?
For some, America can never ever be good enough. So many flaws. So much dysfunction, defilement, degradation, desolation, and debt. No hope. Gravestone memes and the like. The world is flooding in.
WYSIWYG, and some only see darkness.
whole books have been written about the אור הגנוז “the buried light.”
Going even further back, "in the beginning", the Torah begins with an... oversized bet [ב]:
בראשית
(See the formatting at the link to Genesis 1 above.)
An enlarged bet is also 2000, because the basic letters are used to represent thousands. A letter bet (= 2) becomes 2000 (such as in year dates), written like this:
'ב
ארצות הברית של אמריקה (United States of America) = 2000
There is an ancient explanation for why the Torah begins with a bet. All of the letters had lined up for the anointing, but like Jesse's sons, one after another God refused them on down the line. But there was yet a little one out in the field.
A short version is here.
the Almighty Master of All Things beheld the letter Beit in all her magnificence and splendor and pronounced it to be the beginning of all things, saying,
"Beit, you stand for Bracha (blessing)! There is no other letter that is so fit to be the foundation of My world!"
The band struck up, the supernal beings sang and all the holy letters re-aligned for the grand parade.
God Bless America
For some, though, that's *still* not good enough.
The Torah is read in an annual cycle. As such, the first letter of the Torah is preceded by the last word of the Torah -- Israel [ישראל], which = 541
It goes without saying that the letter and word values are always whole numbers. Thus when it comes to representative symbols and conversions:
One World Trade Center became the tallest structure in New York City on April 30, 2012, when it surpassed the height of the Empire State Building. The tower's steel structure was topped out on August 30, 2012. On May 10, 2013, after the final component of the skyscraper's spire was installed, it reached a height of 1,776 feet (541 m). Its height in feet references the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence in 1776.
It goes on, but people will continue to wallow in de Nile until pigs fly.
For some, that's still not good enough because the verse says that "about" 2000 swine *ran* violently down a steep place into the sea.
Well then, they can take it up with a Flock of Seagulls who sang Iran (so far away).
Like Jonah (= "dove" = "Columbia"), they can run but they can't hide.
By the dawn's early light ("with auburn hair and tawny eyes"):
A cloud appears above your head
A beam of light comes shining down on you
Shining down on you
The cloud is moving nearer still
Aurora borealis comes into you
Aurora comes into you
(By the dawn's early light)
I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountain in the sky..
Loving Her Was Easier (Than Anything I'll Ever Do Again)
Word from the "Poet of the Common Man":
"If you don't love it, leave it. Let this song that I'm singing be a warning" --
Merle Haggard - The Fightin Side Of Me (Live)
It's like a fine Persian flying carpet -- high KPSI, flying high.
High to Very High KPSI (250–1000+)
