See what you think of this:
The blurb on the YouTube page reads: “For those critics who read this video as an ‘attack’, or commentary on one specific religious/political/ideological group, a message: look deeper.”
The older I get, the more powerful these words become:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
On this July 4th weekend, let us pause to thank God* that we live in a constitutional republic. Whatever may be wrong with our nation, and I could list a lot of things, we’re still the nation built on those words above.
*If you’re an atheist, thank the stars, or whatever. We’re all in this together.
