#2
In darkest time we sing of home
and remember what used to be.
Mayhap we shall see again
victory for me and thee,
and the Lord will turn his wrath
away, and this captivity. Amen.

Happy 4th of July to my American brothers and sisters.

#3 Message from a 20th Century Patriot & 40th President of the United States of America:

Ronald Reagan stated, “Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”

And for a 4th of July Speech he said:

Ronald Reagan Quote "Let the Fourth of July always be a reminder that here in this land, for the first time, it was decided that man is born with certain God-given rights; that government is only a convenience created and managed by the people, with no powers of its own except those voluntarily granted to it by the people.

#4 From London this appears to be obviously a manifesto of white anti-government terrorists. (do I really need to put a /sarc on that?)

#5 Josiah Bartlett from NH. So that's where "West Wing" came up with Martin Sheen's character's name.

#6 He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

Still working on that one. But great post. Happy 4th!

#7 A suggestion, ladies and gentlemen, let us first no longer use "the Fourth of July" as a synonym for that which we reflect upon and celebrate. It is Independence Day, a day of significant positive meaning to The United States of America.

All peoples of the earth, whether aware of or not, have a "4th of July." Ours, however, represents something which is ours.

Or at least it should.
