Read the Declaration of Independence today. The same conditions exist today that existed on July 4, 1776. Oppressive government. This is no day to celebrate. Not anymore. America has been seized by terrorists and they have our Constitution squarely in their crosshairs. Any American who celebrates his or her 'independence' today is a fool.

Declaration of Independence

Patrick Henry's Speech

We have been taught in the U.S. about the 'balance of powers' and been led to believe the executive, legislative and judicial are the three parts of that balance. But there are two more. The citizenry and the jury system. The 3 often named are absolutely subject to the two never named. And now we have a govt telling us the citizenry must be disarmed and the jury system will be replaced by military tribunals. Forget the fireworks this year. Buy a rifle instead. You MUST, as an American, be prepared to fulfill your committment to your founding documents. That is why so many people DIED to give you the documents. Arm yourselves.
