Two-hundred and forty-seven years ago, our founding Fathers made a bold declaration that would make America the brightest beacon of freedom the world has ever known. Their vision came at a great price, and it is this sacred moment in our nation’s history that we—the heirs of their sacrifice—are so privileged to celebrate on Independence Day. (A recent quote from Kevin Roberts, President of The Heritage Foundation).
The declaration of Independence stated 27 grievances to a candid world, proclaiming the reasons for dissolving the allegiance of 13 colonies to the rule of a tyrannical British King George III.
The brave men and the women that supported them were willing to give their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor in support of an experiment of the American dream to govern themselves with a representative government with the consent of the people rather than the dictates of a king. The cry of the American Revolution was heard around the world, “No other king, but Jesus!”
Our forefathers declared “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.”
We in this generation have lost many of the rights and privileges for which our honorable forefathers fought and gave their lives. In the words of Thomas Paine, “What we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as freedom should not be highly rated.”
Today, our schools continue to teach the very destructive Critical Race Theory, which is a communist plan to take over our nation by dividing us into segregated hate groups.
I am an American patriot who is proud of our heritage. I am proud to pledge an allegiance to the flag and the republic for which it stands.
Our national motto states, “In God We Trust.” Perhaps John Quincy Adams tremendous contributions to our country were because each day he read and studied the bible every day to understand how to best serve the people of this great nation. If it had not been for his mentoring young Abraham Lincoln, we might never have had the Emancipation Proclamation.
Our Founding Fathers put their words into action. Let us do the same in these treacherous and deceitful times in which we live.
