What Was Done Once, Can Be Done Again: "What does an independence day mean anyway? As a culture grows softer, it simply comes to mean another holiday, festive foods, fireworks and a day off from work. In the purely hedonistic misinterpretation, independence means a chance to celebrate your own creature comforts without thinking about the sacrifices they cost and the sacrifices needed to perpetuate that personal independence, made possible by a greater national independence.
Individual independence requires national independence. To be free, you must also live in a free nation. And for a nation to be free, it must be made up of free people.
Yet what happens when independence becomes just a word. When a nation isn’t really made up of free people anymore, or when it’s no longer quite free?"
As we are having our freedom taken from us, it would serve the government well to remember that there are too many of us that will not stand for such things. Countries like Japan feared invading us because they knew there would be guns in every home. The elected representatives should remember that as well.
Maybe Obama was warning the wrong people about pitchforks and torches coming for them a month ago.
P erhaps he should have been talking to his staff and congress.
