WASHINGTON (AP) - Calling the Declaration of Independence more than words on an aging parchment, President Barack Obama marked the Fourth of July on Sunday by urging Americans to live the principles that founded the nation as well as celebrate them. "This is the day when we celebrate the very essence of America and the spirit that has defined us as a people and as a nation for more than two centuries," Obama told guests at a South Lawn barbecue honoring service members and their families.
"We celebrate the principles that are timeless, tenets first declared by men of property and wealth but which gave rise to what Lincoln called a new birth of freedom in America—civil rights and voting rights, workers' rights and women's rights, and the rights of every American," he said. "And on this day that is uniquely American we are reminded that our Declaration, our example, made us a beacon to the world."

He is an outright ingrate.
He is pissing on the graves of all the people who made it possible for him to be in the White House.
We don’t take ingrates well.
May peace be upon him. quickly.

One of the most amazing aspects of the American story is that while the nation's Founfders came from widely divergent backgrounds, their fundamental beliefs were virtually identical. They quarreled bitterly over the most practical plan of implimenting those beliefs, but rarely, if ever, disputed about their final objectives or basic convictions.
These men came from several differing churches, and some from no church at all. They ranged on occupation from farmers to presidents of universities. Their social background included everything from wilderness pioneering to the aristocracy of landed estates. Their dialects included everything from the loquacious drawl of South Carolina to the clipped staccato of Yankee New England. Their economic origins included everything from frontier poverty to oppulent wealth.
Never. Until now.
First of all, it is our Constitution - not our Declaration of Independence - that has made us a beacon to the world. Secondly, it is exactly this beacon - the Constitution - which Obama seeks to destroy along with American Exceptionalism. This man is an enemy to our Republic. His words reek of dishonesty and deception.
Among the most influential of the Founders was one Thomas Paine, author of the immensely popular Common Sense.
He was also a man of very modest means, having lost everything in England and only recently embarked on a new life in the colonies.
Maybe the Kenyan Clown might consider hiring someone who has read at least one history book to write his speeches.
“We celebrate the principles that are timeless, tenets first declared by men of property and wealth....”
What a sh**head this guy is. I just can’t find any other words to describe it.
“Men of wealth and property?” You mean, men who had actually made their mark in the world due to their own endeavors. Men who were experienced in actually accomplishing things now turning their attention to what was, in those days, a great social experiment. The “experiment” was a success as long as it is not thrown out with the trash.
>> Property
Code word for slaves.
Did they use the Constitution for fire starter?
Pray for America
Thomas Paine wasn’t wealthy. What an idiot.
Pray for America
What manner of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists, 11 were merchants and tradesmen, and nine were farmers. They were soft-spoken men of means and education; they were not an unwashed rabble. They had achieved security but valued freedom more. Their stories have not been told nearly enough.
John Hart was driven from the side of his desperately ill wife. For more than a year he lived in the forest and in caves before he returned to find his wife dead, his children vanished, his property destroyed. He died of exhaustion and a broken heart.
Carter Braxton of Virginia lost all his ships, sold his home to pay his debts, and died in rags. And so it was with Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Rutledge, Morris, Livingston and Middleton. Nelson personally urged Washington to fire on his home and destroy it when it became the headquarters for General Cornwallis. Nelson died bankrupt.
But they sired a nation that grew from sea to shining sea. Five million farms, quiet villages, cities that never sleep, 3 million square miles of forest, field, mountain and desert, 227 million people with a pedigree that includes the bloodlines of all the world. In recent years, however, I’ve come to think of that day as more than just the birthday of a nation.

One thing pathetic demigods have in common SELF-hatred.
He sure hates his White side and the Black side abandoned him.
Man are we in trouble.
THAT comment will haunt him throughout his continuing campaign. If the R’s don’t pounce on that, then shame on them. I expect they don’t. What pu$$sies they are. I’m so damned peeved anymore that I’m having trouble posting. Words cannot be typed on this post without being banned for life. I know you all get the message.
OMG he missed the point entirely, didn’t he. He simply does not “get it” because he is incapable of comprehending the underlying basis of our Republic...the why of us. I HATE THIS MAN I HATE THIS MAN I HATE THIS MAN. Please God...please make this president fail and be crushed for his crimes against a country he has always hated and has promised (if you’ve listened carefully) to destroy.
I know, and I understand more than you know, brother.
I’ve never read a 4th of July speech which inspired hatred in me. Pure, burning hatred for a monstrous evil that wants to kill the finest thing man has ever produced: America.
Never. Until now.

I am seething, steaming and feeling hatred like never before...just wanted you to know we are all feeling the same way.
Perhaps a reading of Gov. Bradford's diary might enlighten his mind, which has been too much influenced by the likes of Mao, Marx, and Lenin, and too little with the real history of the development of the restraints on Presidents and Congresses built into the U. S. Constitution.
Such a reading of the experiments of the Jamestown Colony's with a "community of goods" (Bradford) and "leveling" (S. Adams), might allow him to understand that America tried and rejected the idea of communism and redistribution of the fruits of the labors of the producers in order to equalize results for the non-producers.
This aversion to what he referred to as "people of property and wealth" reveals both ignorance of the means of wealth creation and the naive notion that some imperfect people deciding how to use the hard-earned property of some persons in order to gain favor with those to whom they use that property to buy votes is an idea which never has brought success or happiness to a nation. Rather, it has allowed tyrants to become an elite class which destroys the rights of all.
This man truly hates this country and the white man.
So why is there a 10% new tax on tanning salons? When was the last time you saw a person of “color” get a tan? It’s all discrimination - against the Non- colored people.
“We celebrate the principles that are timeless, tenents first declared by MEN of PROPERTY and WEALTH but which gave rise to what Abraham Lincoln called a new birth of freedom in America - civil rights, and voting rights - worker’s rights and women’s rights, and the the rights of every American”. B.H.O. Credit him for this Marxist statement, not me. Wake up, people!!!!!!!
