Despite the haters, there's been so much good and wonderment created in this country. Music, technology, art, largesse, humility, human flourishing, and more have filled the years in 250 years of our country's existence. These manifestations are created using precisely the kinds of freedoms our forebears wished for us when they announced to their countrymen that they would cut ties with King and Country and start This Great Experiment...
[PJMedia.com] "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for a people" to look back on 250 years of the world's longest and greatest experiment in representative democracy —a republic if we can keep it—it is incumbent upon those people to take just a moment to do an end zone dance.

"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," but current rabble on the political extremes know little about God and wouldn't know if something was self-evident because they're too busy looking at their phones. They know little about self-rule and the pursuit of happiness because they know so little about self-control and God's limiting principles.
As an organizing principle, we know that "to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed," but some want to overturn it with no plan of how to replace it.
We face a fraught time right now. In just the past 50 years, culture has suggested that a cop is our best friend, to "911 is a joke" in a bleak call for help, to "defund the police" because now leftists believe they are so virtuous they can police themselves. Human nature begs to differ.
Homegrown terrorism has proliferated with foreign and domestic malign actors paying for and stoking unrest on our streets. Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and other crony commies who wish to tear us down burn, vandalize, and assault to instill fear in the populace.
We've discovered that, yes, these anti-American haters really do believe that the Constitution is a suicide pact.
Despite the haters, there's been so much good and wonderment created in this country. Music, technology, art, largesse, humility, human flourishing, and more have filled the years in 250 years of our country's existence. These manifestations are created using precisely the kinds of freedoms our forebears wished for us when they announced to their countrymen that they would cut ties with King and Country and start This Great Experiment.
They also knew when they pledged "the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor," that it could cost them their lives and the lives of their families—and an end to their new home: The United States of America.
To them we say thank You, God, Founding Fathers, and Founding Mothers. Thank you... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
