“He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures.” - Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.

"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God” Declaration of Independence: "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."
Happy 250th Independence Day to all who love our home country and who love our founding principles! 🇺🇲🇺🇲❤️ "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 ..."
Independence Day marks the foundational birth of a nation, celebrating the right to self-governance, freedom from colonial rule, and the core democratic principles of liberty and equality. It serves as a vital reminder of the sacrifices made to establish sovereignty and the ongoing commitment to protecting human rights, the freedom of Choice (the individual's autonomy to make personal decisions and select from available options without coercion, legal restraint, or unwarranted interference from authority), the freedom of Religion (The government cannot establish an official state religion or favor one religion over another. This principle maintains the separation of church and state) and most important the freedom of Speech (a fundamental human right that allows individuals to articulate opinions, ideas, and information without fear of government censorship, retaliation, or legal sanction). Let freedom and democracy ring out

Opinion : The irony of celebrating America
What was life like in 1776? Take a look at our time capsule!. Who exactly signed the Declaration of Independence?
250 years after our forefathers found courage, the modern day Republicans lost all of theirs. The president of the United States was never meant to run roughshod over our Constitution or our laws.

Thanks Nancy. I've been reflecting this morning on what our founders must have been going through two and half centuries ago. The founders of this great nation were ordinary men called to an extraordinary purpose. They were not perfect men, not saints; But they believed deeply that a free society could not endure without moral grounding, and many drew from Christian values and principles as the compass for shaping a new republic. These ideals—human dignity, personal responsibility, justice, and the belief that freedom is a God‑given right—guided their vision for America. Happy 4th of July and Happy 250th Birthday USA.
