As we celebrate the Fourth of July, most Americans are blissfully ignorant of what it means. We don’t grasp the significance of what our forefather’s did or that Independence means national sovereignty. They threw off the shackles of tyranny to form a free nation that gave us the freedom and prosperity that was once the envy of the world. But today, it has changed.

In the war against terrorism we have sent troops all around the world to protect our freedom but we leave our borders wide open. Then we destroy those very freedoms by increasing police power, surveillance, and assaults against our bill of rights. Our property is seized, judges run amuck, and the yoke of taxation and regulation never ends. We must now form supra national unions for peace and prosperity; selling out the sovereignty that we celebrate on the 4th and surrendering our laws to those of international agreements and Pam American Unions. Why does harmonizing our laws always mean that we must lower our standards rather than raise those of whom with we are joining? If we celebrate the flag but destroy everything it stands for, who is standing for us? Who is protecting us? Who is giving us an Operation America Freedom?

The newspapers are questioning why readership has dropped off. So they give us fluff and pretty colors but still feed us filtered dribble. Here is bright idea, why not give us substance otherwise, it is just entertainment.

So when the smoke clears and burgers are cooked and between the rockets red glare and apple pie, why not read The Declaration of Independence this year? Substitute new enemies for old, then you see that our own government has done to us everything that King George did to our forefathers. Then you will know that all that is necessary for evil the triumph is for good men to do nothing. Remember this on Election Day, there is always another choice than the current two party two step. If we don’t change there is no Independence Day anymore.
