Let Freedom Ring – Again

Thanks for posting the founders and who they were.

I have haun this every year at our 4th of July party for the last 8 years, and I insist new comers READ it.

I also do 4th trivia to teach them a thing or two -- they love it! (You should see the blank liberal stares, at the fact we are a constitutional republic and not a democracy - get's them every time!)

Can you stand another "thank-you" for your poignant post about our founding fathers?
Yeah, those "old white guys" are really something to be mocked, are they not? We should be so lucky that they should reappear. How dissappointed they would be to see how we have squandered what they sacrificed to provide for us.
We need a revolution against our education system, now!

Go to YouTube and check it out. It was posted yesterday and may be pulled down by the O'Vomit brown shirts. You know, the same ones who yanked down the video of the Black Panthers intimidating white voters.

Even I like to lay down the cudgels for a bit on the Fourth, so if I want to take a second to acknowledge the Founders (with preferably American made 'works) why not? If I were up in CT I'd be touching off the flintlock in a PROPER salute to Light Horse Harry, Dan Morgan, Gen. Green, and TOM Washington (who NEVER got the credit he deserved) as well as the paper pushers who fueled the revolt.

you are the one prattling about fireworks. i am talking about opressive government. the kind the founders of our nation fought against. the kind we have now.

Please do not feel any shame. If anything good has happen through this current administration it has made more Americans aware of their heritage and the kind of government that our Founders left us. Many of my friends and myself included have read the entire constitution and Declaration of Independence for the first time since civic classes in college or high school.

Many Americans have taken our freedoms for granted so long. That is good that we have always felt safe enough to do that. We can no longer do that. Inform youself. Check out the Patrick Henry Caucus that I mentioned in another post. This organization was formed by two state legislatures in Utah who were concerned about state sovereignty, "states rights", per...

Try to find the OLD ORIGINAL Twilight Zone episode called "The Obsolete Man" with Burgess Meredith. A great character actor he appeared in at least two "zones". THIS one is frightening.

I have been reading that for many years and learned a lot of it from the historian at the National Archives. It IS true but there's a move afoot to convince us all that the War of Independence was a "rich man's war" and the people who fought were their dupes.

Reba...I cried when I read your post. I never knew those details nor even sought to find out. I'm ashamed. It wasn't pretty obtaining our freedom. Freedom is our birthright yet is never given over freely. We always have to fight for it. And if we are born into it like so many of us, then we have to guard it diligently.

Please, oh please, don't let these founders of our freedoms have fought and died in vain. This Obomba government HAS to be monitored diligently or else...as someone else posted, "I'd rather have King George!"

Let see Liberals complained about the Patriot Act because if you are one of the very few people who happen to be talking to an actual terrorist overseas, you might get your conversation listened to by Homeland Security without a Warrant.

However, Liberals have no problem with the "Cap & Trade Bill" requiring you to get Federal Approval before selling your home.

Liberals have no problem with Government taking your home to sell to a Rich Real Estate Developer to put up strip malls.

Liberals have no problem denying parents school choice.

Liberals have no problem denying you Healthcare Choice.

Liberals have no problem denying you Retirement Savings choice.

Liberals have no problem denying you...

"Fourth of July weekend, I ask you to reflect for a moment on the state of our Union. Even as we stand to salute our American flag, our freedoms are being taken from us in a massive, unprecedented power grab from the federal government. Who could have foreseen the swiftness and boldness with which such change has come?

Citizens are crying out for leadership to unite and act to preserve individual freedoms. We believe this is best done at the state level. Our strategy is simple. We must petition our local state...

Get off that porcupine you're sitting on today. In case you didn't read about it the Chinese INVENTED fireworks about 800 years ago. I know if you buy them from some reservation stand or Wally World they are from Chine (with glow in the dark safety fusing) but if you want you can get them from a couple of sources in Ohio and PA and they come from the Westlake factory.

The Westlake rockets REALLY climb. I saw one arc from the parking lot of our store on Rt. 59 in Spring Valley about 200 yards from Rt. 287 twenty years ago and it left a silvery trail that CROSSED the highway and vanished.

Thank your daughter for me. You have to be proud of her. It makes me feel good to hear those comments from our youth. They will be our leaders of tomorrow and must stand as proud Americans to maintain the freedoms and liberties that these 56 men and their families were so wiling to sacrifice everything to leave such a great legacy to us.

I have live and worked in three different countries and know that these liberaties live in the majority of Americans' hearts as it does not in people of other countries. However, we can no longer take it for granted.

I made my 19 year old daughter read your post and afterward I told her at least if you read that I know for a brief moment you thought of what this day stands for. I was quite proud of her when she said " I think of that all the time, not just today." There are still some college educated kids that have their hearts and minds in the right place.

I also fear the same, Reba. The true Heros' among us will only be known when common people perform uncommon valor. I believe that something really bad is going to have to happen in our lifetimes to bring us back to what made us great. I would give my life for this cause if it was righteous. A very vocal minority has come to rule us, but it is yet possible to emerge victorious. I find myself, on this 4th, watching Wimbledon doubles, burning a fattie, grilling some ribs, and silently thanking those 56 men for their sacrifices so that I may have the ability to do this. Thank you for the timely reminder of what so many have died for. You are correct- Freedom is not free- The Tree of Freedom requires the nourishment of blood from time to...

You are a good and patriot Father in helping your daughters understand the people who were willing to give everything they had to provide a free country for us.

After posting this I was thinking about these 56 men and their sacrifices, it was not for power or self gain that they did this. I was also wondering who among the men and women of our senate and congress today would be willing to do the same for our country and keep our liberties safe. I'm afraid the the list is very small.

Have a great 4th of July !

I am a fellow Texian down Southwest of you some. Excellent post. I had my daughters read it. They are good kids. Perhaps there is some hope for our Republic yet. Keep yer powder dry and love your family.

Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence ?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died.
Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.
Two lost their sons another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds of the Revolutionary War.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.

What kind of men were they?
Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.
Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and plantation owners; they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy...

Now let's pray a lot to LET FREEDOM TO CONTINUE TO RING !

As we do also. We just have to do to our enemies what George did to his enemies - circle them and defeat them.

Having said that, we have another battle ahead.

Many of you have already become aware of Gerald Celente, and for those who have not, you should. Celente's forecast for 2009 is pretty dim - read that dismal and foreboding - but if we are prepared, we can survive "The Greatest Depression." The video on the link below is 9 minutes long - watch it, and learn from it.

Be prepared, my friends - there appear to be very tough times ahead if Celente is accurate in this forecast also (he has a pretty good forecast record in years past).

Word on the...

History will record that the American Soldier and those American Soldiers who have fallen, rank in the greatest humans who have ever lived on this planet.

The American Soldier has set free millions in bondage and defended the freedom of America with willingness of the ultimate sacrifice.

The Fallen American Soldier is someone who walked the hero's path. Someone who walked into the heart of darkness for Duty, Honor and Country.

The American Soldier waits for the day that they have lived for and trained for their entire life - to defend until death, their families and America, its citizens and freedom.

The American soldier is the fiercest Warrior ever in history, because their mission is the defense of...

When you read the Declaration of Independance, its easy to see how the same words apply today for what the Liberals are doing to this country.

Instead of the British Crown. We have to rebel against Liberals.

and morons all over the country will be contributing to their own enslavement by burning fireworks made in china and purchased with borrowed money to celebrate the birth of a nation that has developed a government far, far more tyrannical than king george 3. please, please let me have the stamp tax, if i could get the government out of my personal papers, my bank account, and my pocket. i would willingly house some soldiers to get rid of the hoards of fake disability chislers, welfare cheats, and race mongers that our beloved government coddles. taxation without representation? please give us taxation without representation if we could just be rid of representation without taxation. if allowed to choose between obama and king...

and I'll light one for the Dead White Guys!!!
