On This July Fourth

On this July Fourth let us not forget the men who declared independence from England did so to become free from tyranny and to create a new nation based on the concept of liberty and justice for all.

Upon signing the Declaration of Independence, these men became traitors to their flag. Upon signing the document, these men set themselves apart from those fellow colonists faithful to the Crown. Each man put his head through the noose the moment he signed his name. But they did it because they dreamed that through hard work, rebellion, war and death, the United States of America could become a land England was not. A land where liberties would be expanded and protected. Where safeguards in government would prevent tyranny. And where family dynasties would not rule with arrogant hubris over the common man. I believe their dreams have suffered greatly, and especially since the Bush Dynasty has come to grips on this land.

On this July Fourth let us think of those brave men and let us contemplate the restoration of their dreams. And then on July fifth, let us get back to the work of undoing the harm their dreams have suffered since January 20, 2001.
