I read an interesting article penned by Glenn Beck yesterday. In all honesty he made many great points but as with all the talking heads he once again only told the politically correct part of the story.
At some point during the day, I hope you’ll take time to think and reflect on what it is we’re truly celebrating on the 4th of July — our Independence Day. Of course the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4th, 1776 but it’s so much more than that. On this day, 233 short years ago, a small group of men dedicated themselves to a higher purpose, an ideal they believed in so greatly, they signed their name to its expression and in doing so put their very lives at risk.
What Beck doesn’t point out but which if of ultimate importance in today’s world is that small group of men were all white and were not thinking of anything but the welfare of their own people. The fifty six men who believed in the strength of their people and their right to choose the path they wished to travel.
Of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence:
Five were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes burned to the ground. Two lost sons serving in the Revolutionary Army, and two more had sons captured. Nine fought and died in the Revolutionary War.
If you ever feel like your lone voice can never be heard, that the political system isn’t set up for “regular” Americans to change the course of history, remember: The signers were flesh and blood, mortal men with a divinely-inspired aim.
We should all take a few moments today and everyday of the year to give thanks to these men who braved so much to give us the right to choose our own path. But what Glenn misses is these men put that divinely-inspired aim in the only place it could make a difference, behind the sights of a musket. It was not God that created America but lead and powder that made their voices heard in the Kings chambers across an ocean.
The Signers asked for nothing in return for their pledge, but I say that we show our thanks with a pledge of our own: To remember, to be grateful, and to carry on in their spirit. America is the greatest country this world has ever and will ever know, and it will stay that way so long as “we the people” remember that just like in 1776.
It will stay that way, who is this guy kidding. Is he referring to “we the people” that allows a non-citizen to occupy the White House or the left wing Marxist running congress while the gutless right cowers under their desks because they are afraid of being told their politically incorrect. While the whole bunch of useless carrion allows a private company to control the financial future of what was once a strong nation.
I put forth a question to Glenn Beck but like all others it will never receive an answer. I ask you Glenn is political correctness more important than the future of your country? If not I would be happy to send you a list of people you need to sit across from and openly challenge their views, opinions and most important the facts that they can bring in open and honest debate.
