Amen! That last paragraph summed it up real well. It is the anti-thesis of Obama’s way of thinking.

Here’s my 4th of July message for Obama, prominently displayed on my main page at:

http://www.jeffhead.com

“Barack Hussein Obama, hear us, loyal Americans whose bloodlines run deep in this land, back to the founding & beyond, who have watered the ground of this nation & foreign soils to maintain our liberty & constitution: Molon Labe-Sic Semper Tyranus-De Oppresso Liber. Your Marxism shall not stand in this land, so help us God!” - Jeff Head, July 3, 2010

Have a great, patriotic 4th all!

Two bits I'd not have left out of that summary: Charles I, who laid rest any pretense to absolute monarchy. And the notion that Parliament developed, during the Georges, that since the King wasn't sovereign, Parliament must be. It was this last that we were rebelling against - the idea that Parliament had unconstrained power.

I heard the Declaration read today at a local historical site. Was quite moving. (BTW, they left out the part about "the merciless Indian savages".)

Read and heed all you drug warriors and other statists. Freedom means people can do stuff others might find offensive. Liberty means respect for the equal rights of ALL Americans. Even when they do dumb stuff, as long as they don’t violate the rights of others.

Was Jefferson a deist, or as some now claim, an atheist? Not according to his own words.

"THIS article quotes his own words in regard to his views on Christianity and his statement that he is a Christian. Jefferson's statement is just one of scores of statements made by a great many founding fathers who also stated their devotion to and faith in Jesus Christ. Those men's writings are listed in alphabetical order according to their last names, and are proof that the claims made by so many professors and historians refuting the almost universally accepted facts about the religion of the founding fathers and other famous American historical figures are damnable lies. And IMHO the atheistic, socialistic "scholars" making those false claims know very well that they are nothing less than outright lies.

Prayers up for a happy Independence Day for all Freepers, and especially for those patriotic Americans who are serving our nation in it's armed forces. May OUR Lord Jesus Christ grant all Americans a future USA that is as free and honorable as the nation that those great CHRISTIAN men who we call Founding Fathers hoped and prayed it would be.

The Declaration did not “create” new rights, it simply re-affirmed the old, and it is America’s conservative document.

Right. Most Americans can quote the preamble, or at least those of my geriatric generation can, but not so many have read the text. The Declaration was the seedbed of the Constitution, the document that laid out the structure of America's government and guaranteed the rights and liberties that the founding fathers and patriots fought and died to secure for their progeny. The same rights and liberties that so many of this current generation seem quite willing to forfeit in exchange for Marxist statism that promises it's deluded adherents a Utopia that it can never deliver.

The question that will puzzle me until my dying day is this; Why on God's green earth would anyone choose "change" from freedom and guaranteed liberties to a dictatorial system of government (Marxism) closely related to slavery? It's incredible to me that anyone who has experienced freedom would make that choice, yet almost 69 million Americans wittingly or unwittingly did just that in November of 2008.

May God deliver America from what I believe are sinister spiritual forces that are now controlling America. Forces that are hell bent on remaking the US into a collectivist, atheistic, perverted "paradise" that the Founding Fathers could not even recognize as the nation for which they gave up virtually everything, including life for many, to found. God will deliver us if America's Christians will confess our sins against His holy laws and unite in prayer for deliverance from the forces that now control our government. We have his promise on that, 2nd Chronicles 7:14. But I don't see that happening, especially not in the thousands of American churches that major on getting wealth, physical healing, and "things" from God instead of asking that His perfect will be done in our individual lives, our society, and our government.

King John was forced again by the English nobles to sign the Magna Charta... the barons of England asserted their legal equality with the king in 1100 and 1215. Jefferson was not stating anything new.

What was new was the equality of every man with the nobles and the king. Abolishing nobility was radical. Universal manhood suffrage was radical. Abolishing monarchy and establishing a republic was radical.

Most people mistake centralization as a “conservative” tendency.

Compared to the anti-federalists who opposed the constitution, our federalist founders favored a strong central government. That is why they wrote the Constitution and got rid of the weak articles of confederation.

I didn’t read any comments on this paragrapgh:

>>The Declaration of Independence did not “create” the “United States.” Jefferson called it the “united States,” or simply the States united. Virginia and Maryland both separately declared their independence from Great Britain, with Virginia doing so over a month before the Declaration was ratified in the Continental Congress. The colonies became “FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES.” Jefferson made a conscious decision to choose the word State. A State, in the 18th century, was a sovereign political entity. In the same document, Jefferson called Great Britain a “State.” Thus, Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, or any other American State, were equal to the mother country. They were not shires, parishes, counties, or provinces subservient to a “united States” government. The Declaration, then, is a decentralizing document, and the first governing document of the United States, the Articles of Confederation, reaffirmed that fact.<<

How does this fit in with those who believe secession is unconstitutional? Especially since secession is not mentioned in the Constitution by word nor as an enumerated power. One could then argue, that under the 10th Amendment, the power to seceede is reserved to the states.
