Happy Independence Day….and remember to pause and for just one day thank someone today who fought to make it possible for you to be ungrateful.

Tiberius Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 11 minutes ago, B-Man said: How sad. Thank god, and my parents that I am not like that. Thomas Jefferson’s timeless first inaugural address, words to consider in light of the fact that many GOPers and all MAGAs want to overthrow the republic During the contest of opinion through which we have passed the animation of discussions and of exertions has sometimes worn an aspect which might impose on strangers unused to think freely and to speak and to write what they think; but this being now decided by the voice of the nation, announced according to the rules of the Constitution, all will, of course, arrange themselves under the will of the law, and unite in common efforts for the common good. All, too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression. Let us, then, fellow-citizens, unite with one heart and one mind. Let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and affection without which liberty and even life itself are but dreary things. And let us reflect that, having banished from our land that religious intolerance under which mankind so long bled and suffered, we have yet gained little if we countenance a political intolerance as despotic, as wicked, and capable of as bitter and bloody persecutions. During the throes and convulsions of the ancient world, during the agonizing spasms of infuriated man, seeking through blood and slaughter his long-lost liberty, it was not wonderful that the agitation of the billows should reach even this distant and peaceful shore; that this should be more felt and feared by some and less by others, and should divide opinions as to measures of safety. But every difference of opinion is not a difference of principle. We have called by different names brethren of the same principle. We are all Republicans, we are all Federalists. If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this Union or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it. I know, indeed, that some honest men fear that a republican government can not be strong, that this Government is not strong enough; but would the honest patriot, in the full tide of successful experiment, abandon a government which has so far kept us free and firm on the theoretic and visionary fear that this Government, the world's best hope, may by possibility want energy to preserve itself? I trust not. I believe this, on the contrary, the strongest Government on earth. I believe it the only one where every man, at the call of the law, would fly to the standard of the law, and would meet invasions of the public order as his own personal concern. Sometimes it is said that man can not be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the forms of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notice the only verse he highlighted? Don't think this wasn't done on purpose. Of course Bonnie wouldn't want to highlight land of liberty, land where our fathers died, and DEFINITELY DO NOT highlight where freedom rings. V1: My country 'tis This wee sweet land of liberty Of thee I sing Land where my fathers died Land of the pilgrim's pride From every mountainside Let freedom ring My native country, thee Land of the noble free Thy name I love I love thy rocks and rills Thy woods and templed hills My heart will rapture fills like that above V2: … Let music swell the breeze And ring from all the trees Sweet freedom's song Let mortal tongues awake Let all that breathe partake Let rocks their silence break The sound prolong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see 1 side as being more hypocritical than the other. 1 step to the middle may help your cause....NO, because your cause is just ranting not saving the country. If you always do what you always did, you always get what you always got.... Must be your motto. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Ignore the 24/7 hate speech from Billsy.) Alf got the answer. I have to say that I didn’t know it myself until just before starting the thread. There’s so much of our TRUE American history that’s been glossed over throughout the years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 “You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4th, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism.” – Erma Bombeck “Independence Day: freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed – else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.” – Dwight D. Eisenhower “It will be celebrated with pomp and parade, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other.” – John Adams “I believe in America because we have great dreams, and because we have the opportunity to make those dreams come true.” – Wendell L. Wilkie “We on this continent should never forget that men first crossed the Atlantic not to find soil for their ploughs but to secure liberty for their souls. – Robert J. McCracken .

Big Blitz Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 4 hours ago, BillStime said: The first “Independence” Day where women have less rights today than a year ago. Why these Americans aren't celebrating the 4th of July post-Roe reversal The irony of this thread being created by a leading cult member - just reinforces there righteousness and lack of self awareness while they cheer on the reversal of rights for POC, women, LGTBQ, and suffrage. Happy 4th to those who embrace our history - honor our veterans who fought for our freedoms - and to those who will embrace the true meaning of the Liberty Bell. 🇺🇸 The base of the Democrat Party - not ONE Boo not one low info lib here calling this embarrassing that he gets a national audience If every D is voted out of every local school board, state gov, and DC, the country can be salvaged. Until these people are Swept to the ash heap of history the republic is at risk. Happy 4th! Never vote Democrat 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
