Independence Day Used to Trash the US

While some of us marked the 4th of July with appropriate observances and others at least may have reminded themselves how fortunate they are to be the beneficiaries of the society that grew out of the brave move by the Signers, others took the time to paint the US in as bad a light as possible

" PBS‘ Bill Moyers celebrated America’s birthday by slandering the author of our Declaration of Independence:

[Thomas Jefferson] acknowledged that slavery degraded master and slave alike, but would not give his own slaves their freedom. Their labor kept him financially afloat. Hundreds of slaves, forced like beasts of burden to toil from sunrise to sunset under threat of the lash, enabled him to thrive as a privileged gentleman, to pursue his intellectual interests, and to rise in politics. ' "

Of course we fought an horrific war for which Slavery was a major contributing factor, and Slavery still exists in Muslim-ruled countries in Africa, but those facts mean nothing.


"MSNBC’s Melissa Harris-Perry marked the occasion with a little light talk about slavery, genocide and prison inmates — you know, the usual garbage that passes for “patriotism” among liberals:"
This one is a really wild ride:

This argument would take multiple pages to destroy but the win would be certain enough.

" 'The land on which they formed this Union was stolen. The hands with which they built this nation were enslaved. The women who birthed the citizens of the nation are second class."

Again, anyone who benefits is simply reaping the rewards of Slavery and oppression.

"But all of this is our story. Each of us benefits from the residuals of oppression and each of success harmed by the realities of inequality. This is the imperfect fabric of our nation, at times we`ve torn and stained it, and at other moments, we mend and repair it."

None of what occurred was any good at all - that's why so many others have immigrated here and continue to do so. I mean, she must be right since the rest of the world is so good.

"But it’s ours, all of it. The imperialism, the genocide, the slavery, also the liberation and the hope and the deeply American belief that our best days still lie ahead of us."

...and now for a truly uplifting story about people who must have been wrongfully committed to prison by the presumably racist system but somehow found a way to break the chains of Imperialism.

"Which is why my favorite Independence Day story this week is about a group who are not technically free. A class of 27 inmates, teens and adults, who received their GEDs Tuesday at the correctional facility on Rikers Island. Despite being incarcerated, they hold fast to the optimistic belief that education, hard work and second chances are still the stuff of America. And that they have a right to take part in the dream.' "

Not enough whites must have died while ultimately freeing the slaves to satisfy the Great Philosopher Chris Rock.

"Hollywood “comedian” Chris Rock tweeted out this race-baiting message to his followers yesterday:"

"Happy white peoples independence day the slaves weren‘t free but I’m sure they enjoyed fireworks."

"And Rock wasn’t alone with his scorn. Aaron Sorkin, Don Cheadle and Zach Braff — Obama supporters all — laughed right along with him."

 Michelle Malkin, as one can imagine, was not happy with the admittedly stupid remarks. The link at top has a video of her response.

The very identity of this nation is under a sustained attack. Each one of these people is not only given all sorts of press coverage, but to my knowledge is also eligible to vote.

If we do not address the issue of Leftist thought and its weapons of dis- and malinformation concerning the history of our nation, we will at some point find ourselves with an unavoidable war that will make our then-first Civil War look like a husband and wife arguing about spending money on golf versus lunch with friends.


On July 3rd, the President of the AFL-CIO came up with a list of rights that go as far back as FDR. With an appeal to a so ancient and credible source, how can he be wrong?

Is anyone unaware that Social Security is the farthest thing from a "secure retirement income" as it gets?

" 'When politicians on the right talk about the “freedom” to replace Social Security with vouchers, what they really mean is freedom from a secure retirement income. The “freedom” to get vouchers for retraining is actually freedom from unemployment compensation’s safety net when your job is shipped overseas.' "

Yea, Conservatives are not Law and Order guys but want people victimized and trapped in burning buildings waiting in vain for ambulance squads to arrive.

"The “freedom” of cutting local government translates into the freedom from having the help of a cop or a firefighter or EMS tech in your time of greatest need."

Let's redefine Freedom as the absolute and permanent reliance on the Government.

"Let’s call this right-wing “freedom” catch phrase what it really is: a grossly political strategy to dupe the public, which holds the word “freedom” as something sacred."

Again, I consider citing one who strongly admired Mussolini and Uncle Joe to be a airtight argument. Forget those who were influenced by John Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau.

"This Independence Day, I say let’s go back to a truer use of the word “freedom.” Let‘s start with President Franklin Roosevelt’s Four Freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. I would add the freedom to bargain collectively."
