The 4th of July should mean more than fireworks, barbecues, and hot dogs. It stands for the day that we declared independence from England with the Declaration of Independence adopted on July 4th 1776. Also it should remind Americans of the many sacrifices that Americans have made defending our freedoms: The battle of Edge Hill (Valley Forge) in 1777. The war of 1812. The battle of the Alamo, March 6, 1836. World War I in 1917. Pearl Harbor, Dec 7 1941 and WW II. The attack of Sept. 11 on Innocent Americans. Have we forgotten these events and what they mean to us? I hope not.
What else should July 4th be remembered for? It should be remembered that our freedoms were not achieved easily and that they should not be given away easily, either with the stroke of a pen, or with violence projected against us by anyone.
In addition to the rogue states and the terrorists trying to fight us, who else is attacking our freedoms? The far left liberals and so-called progressives who seek to supplant our individual freedoms, such as the right to bear arms, and freedom of expression of religion, to assert their agenda of creating a communist-style state that controls everyone and creates a giant big brother type of government. The progressives believe that people cannot control their own lives and must be controlled by government. They also lust for political power to feather their own nests leading to tyranny.
To defeat the progressive agenda, as Americans we must assert our basic conservative values, reduce the size of government, defeat the tax and spend bills of Congress, reduce the public debt, and vote for people who will defend American freedoms set down by our forefathers in the Constitution.
