Independence Day

It’s the 4^th of July and time to remind ourselves about the birth of this nation. Hooray for those treasonous traitors of the American Revolution that put everything, including their lives, on the line for freedom.

Think about it. Had they lost the war of independence, they would have been hanged, shot, or burned at the stake as traitors to the king of England. But they won and so they became our founding fathers, the heroes that gave us this great country. Along with freedom that they gave us the gift of a brilliant constitution that guarantees that no part of the government can ever again have absolute power over the nation or its people.

So the next time you hear someone speak out against the government or challenge their ways, remember – those are the behaviors of free people. That’s how we got here and it is how we will stay here. It is legal, it is moral, and it is expected of free Americans.

In recent years, many ideas, thoughts, principles, and behaviors have been looked down on or hushed in the name of “political correctness”. When you hear someone chastise another person for being politically incorrect, challenge them that political correctness is often nothing more than censorship – plain and simple. This contemptible form of censorship guarantees that those who are weak of mind or spirit can walk through life and have it their way without having to face inconveniences such as freedom of speech, challenge of thought, or staging of new ideas.

On this Independence Day remember our forefathers...they were rebellious, they stood tall against tyranny, and acted on what they believed in. Take back your freedoms and bring forth your ideas, no matter how far out they are. These are uniquely American values, worthy of restoration. It is your heritage!
