How many Independence Days does America have left to celebrate? That appears to be up to us.
I’m reposting these thoughts, originally marking Independence Day, 2009 because the concerns I noted then have not only not been addressed, they grow more egregious with each passing week. Consider this a call to arms. All boots on the ground my fellow Americans, evening is closing in on us fast:
Independence. Not Just a Day.
Patrick Henry passionately appealed to his fellow colonists in 1775...

Ensure it? We have to win it back first!
>>Ensure it? We have to win it back first!
Yep. But before we win it back, we first have to convince Americans that they want freedom...and the responsibility that accompanies it. You can’t have one without the other.
About three.
Sadly, even if Romney wins, the Republicans don’t have a clue how to do more than merely manage the decline a bit differently than the Democrats.
We have non left. Today is the inaugeral Dependence day... Sadly many are still ignorant to our plight and they will blindly celebrate July 4th throughout the day.
Fewer Americans will celebrate Dependence Day this year, but the msm will never admit it.
Every morning, every night, I am thankful for my journey, and heartfelt in my resolve to remember, I came to this country because of three documents.
I shall pass away in this great land, far for my birth home, but
Every day for me is Independence Day, and I shall never allow my resolve to waver nor lessen.

I’m not. I refuse. Today is about as significant as Kwanzaa. Made up holiday with no meaning.
Now excuse me while I commit an act of treason against Dear Reader and go over the Declaration and insinuate the eerie modern parallels.
U.S. Constitution, Article 3 Section 2:
The judicial Power shall extend to all Cases, in Law and Equity, arising under this Constitution, the Laws of the United States, and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under their Authority;--to all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls;--to all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction;--to Controversies to which the United States shall be a Party;--to Controversies between two or more States;-- between a State and Citizens of another State,--between Citizens of different States,--between Citizens of the same State claiming Lands under Grants of different States, and between a State, or the Citizens thereof, and foreign States, Citizens or Subjects.
In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
Uh huh. Want to buy a bridge in New York?
Say, suppose we could remove the 16th amendment, kill social security, medicare, medicaid, enact world peace, grow money on trees...
"In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
Congress can tell SCOTUS "tax policy is not under your purview."
I can read. You can’t understand sarcasm. You are hopelessly fantasizing about the impossible. Sure, it’ll ALL get better if we just work in the system that nobody cares about anymore. Just play by the rules nobody follows. Thats the ticket!
Then just go blow your brains out and get it over with, since you have zero hope.
I am as dependent on the illegitimate bastards pretending to be our rulers as a homeowner is on a burglar.
Why are the choices sit and pray the Gestapo eat you last or blow your brains out before they get to you? That kind of sucks, I was hoping for a third option.
Let’s see, the mention of the Constitution (C) is almost offensive now. We have a dictator who with the media has convinced blacks, black pastors and a whole lot of white pastors that since Obama is in power, that God put him there and whereby that means anything he does is ordained. This means, state mandated redistribution is of God and thus, Social Justice isn’t communist, it’s God’s way. Thus, we now have a huge sect of Christians who are made to feel better by suscribing to the doctrine that since the C was written by slaveholders, that they don’t have to read it and they can just hate it and be done with it...and we’re not citizens of the US anymore (well, we are, and as Christians, yes, I believe citizenry of heaven trumps that of the US, but hating the US isn’t a requirement nor should it be okay to do), just that of heaven and it’s now fashionable to simply hate the US. Lord have mercy, this is the frustrating world in which I live...I walk this in my church, I see it on the news, I see my “conservative” leaders stabbing me in the back (Romney on the ceasefire on healthcare, McConnell being a wimp, NO ONE SHOUTING FROM THE ROOFTOPS on our side, not even Col West...UGH!!!
Pray, pray hard, pray expectantly, pray again, repeat, rinse, pray some more, and send Romney a check...pray for the house, pray for the senate, pray for the presidency...and, even, pray for a Paul like miracle in Obama (but still pray he is gone).
There, I feel a little better.
Anyone, I welcome feedback and comment and I just need to feel human again.
Those two will just be for pretense.
The challenge to all of us:
“Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”
We must all be Patrick Henry, now that our country needs us most. The Founding Fathers risked their wealth, their families and even their lives to gain our freedom. Can we do less? WILL we do less?
