Heroes vs. villains: Independence Day — 8 Comments

  1. The declaration had been approved on July 2d, the day before Adams wrote the letter.

  2. When you consider what the men who signed the Declaration were risking, it makes you wonder if we still have such courage afoot in the land. Let us pray it is so.

    Independence Day greetings to all the patriots
    here at neo neocon’s.

  3. “When you consider what the men who signed the Declaration were risking, it makes you wonder if we still have such courage afoot in the land. Let us pray it is so.”

    I ponder this same question. Somedays I am pessimistic, other days I am optimistic. Everyday I am glad to be an American.

  4. Mystery author and historian John Dickson Carr wrote “To write good history is the noblest work of man.” When I first read this claim, I thought it was an exaggeration. I no longer think so.

  5. “It’s as good a day as any, and better than some, to celebrate the remarkable and laudable vision under which this nation was founded, and to be deeply grateful for those who have preserved and expanded that vision. The fact that its execution will always be imperfect is no reason to consider ourselves the villains of the piece. There are enough true villains out there for comparison, if anyone cares to look.”

    So say we all.

  6. BTW, if you are not familiar with the writings of Frederick Douglas you have missed an important leader of our second wave of founders. I believe Herman Cain is the Frederick Douglas of our times as I see Palin as the Truman of our times. These two are leaders I am willing to follow; and usually I am very reluctant to follow a leader.

  7. This is precisely why I get so irritated with liberals who try to make the Founding Fathers (I will NEVER call them framers) as bad people. No one is perfect, but they did something so admirable, I thank God for them.
