Be Thankful your dead. You wouldn’t want to see what’s become of America (and Vermont) today.
“It was not because it was proposed to establish a new nation, but because it was proposed to establish a nation on new principles, that July 4, 1776, has come to be regarded as one of the greatest days in history…
Those words were spoken by President Calvin Coolidge on July 5, 1926 at a speech delivered in Philadelphia commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It was especially fitting that Coolidge — the only President born on the 4th of July — deliver this tribute to the Declaration.
In his speech, Coolidge spoke passionately of the principles in the Declaration, the special inheritance bequeathed to us by Thomas Jefferson, whose legacy is now being threatened by the progressive mob.
“If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people.”
Oh, if the progressives gain the power the people will be ‘ruled, you will be made to care, you will take a knee.
There is plenty of blame to go around for the present peril of our country. Some to the Greatest_Generation for raising spoiled brats. The Supreme Court who certain members think that they’re so much smarter then the founders and reinterpret the Constitution away from the oringinal intent. The Democrat party whose lust for power cancelled their love of country. And Finally the ‘Republican Party’ who for the most part sat around with their thumbs up their ass and watched it happen.
