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, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Great move posting that on top of the forum. Not sure why there is so much wrong with this country. It looks like an entire generation or two needs to be educated.

Glad you're feeling better. Happy Fourth to you.

Thank you, Jim, you’re a Peach.

Rush reads something every 4th of July that (his father?) wrote about the Founding Fathers and what happened to each of them after the signing of the Declaration and our Independence.

I’ve tried to find it but can’t. Can someone post it?

I also miss not being able to listen to Micheal Medved at this time because he was so good at telling historical stories in great context.

“I appreciate your interest, opinions on issues, and your concern about our nation’s future.”
—Hilda Little, American History, NorthSide High, Jackson, TN

This was the teacher who put within me a love for this country and a respect for its Founding Priciples.

I am grateful to all of the men and women who have sacrificed so greatly so that I would have a history to study in the first place.

Now it is my turn to pass that legacy on to my sons.

I come to FR daily and the people here inspire me...and keep me form going off on a tangent.

God bless FreeperNation.
