Citizens Dedicated To Preserving Our Constitutional Republic
Celebration of Independence Day - 2014

July 4, 2014, and in the Year of our Independence, Two-hundred and Thirty-nine
It seems that time, especially the last 150 years, has eroded away the Independence gained by the Founders, at the cost of their lives and fortunes, though their Honor is still preserved, for the time being.
Our traditions have been trampled into the dust of history (except the hot dogs and fireworks - though the latter is slowly becoming illegal).
An example is that of dating documents. If you go to your county courthouse and look at the public records and deeds from the early Nineteenth Century, you will see something like:
This 4th day of July, in the Year of Our Lord, Two-Thousand and Fourteen, and of our Independence, Two-hundred and Thirty-nine.
Yes, today starts the 239th year of what was gained, then, and is slowly dying.
We have lost the reverence we had for the moral foundation of this country, through subjugation of the churches to the dictates of an administrative agency known as the IRS (Internal Revenue Service). In those formative years, church pulpits were inspirational in discussing the rights of the people, and the necessity of opposing the creeping despotism from across the ocean. Now, they have become pulpits of political correctness -- in order to retain their tax-exempt status.
Similarly, our educational system, I won't say Public Schools, since they have been stealthily subverted into propagandized reeducation camps for our children, so I call them what they are, government schools. Their purpose is to propagate a belief in a government system whereby the words and ideals of the Founders have been distorted and in most cases, omitted, from the "knowledge" being taught to those who will soon hold in their hands the reins of the of this country.
As an old house, whose foundation is beginning to crumble, if not repaired, the house will soon follow. With proper maintenance of the foundation, and continual (education) repair to the house, itself, that house may continue to serve the posterity of those who first built it, for hundreds, perhaps thousands, of years, becoming, once again, a beacon unto the world.
I am reluctant to say, "Happy Independence Day", as there is nothing happy about the threatened failure of both foundation and house, though I do hold in my heart a celebration that the work to be done is, already, in progress.
